A couple of weeks ago, my mom dropped off 3 half bushels of apples. Incase you are unfamiliar with how many apples that is, I’ve used 20 pounds of peeled and cored apples and haven’t used a whole half bushel yet. These apples were fresh from the trees in their backyard and I’m not one […]

If this is the first pumpkin butter recipe you’ve seen this year, then bloggers are doing fall wrong. There should be apples and pumpkins as far as the eye can see (and I promise I’m bringing you an apple butter recipe ASAP).

As fall gets into full swing with chilly mornings, I find myself staying in bed later and waking up wanting warm, comforting food. In fact, I accidentally slept in until almost 11 am on Saturday, after going to bed at a pretty decent time on Friday. Blaming the weather. I’m definitely not just super lazy […]

Oops! I totally meant to post this last Wednesday and actually have a post on Friday, too, but life happens, ya know? I was in a wedding on Friday, which put the bachelorette party on Wednesday and the rehearsal on Thursday – couple that with the fact that I let pretty much everyone from out […]

I’ve probably mentioned this 4,000 times by now, but I am in love with barbeque sauce. Yes. In love. Barbeque sauce for me is like Nutella to every sane person in the world. I will “joke” about how I could eat it as soup and aspire to one day actually make a barbeque sauce soup […]

I’m a little late to the kale game. Everyone has been raving about kale, specifically kale chips, for months (years?) and I’ve just been over here sitting on my couch, too busy not eating kale chips. If you haven’t tried them yet, I’m not sure what it will take to convince you. But let’s get […]
