I don’t know about you but I happen to love fruit pie for breakfast. Paired with a scrambled egg and a glass of milk, a piece of pie makes a pretty hearty first meal of the day. You can argue the high sugar content, yes. But everything in moderation, right? And actually, these mini pies […]
I love one pot meals. And I love Mac & Cheese. This super simple recipe for cheesy pasta with kale is SO delicious and a much healthier alternative than the artificially flavored, chemically colored box of neon orange mac ‘n’ cheese. It’s just as easy to make, too! You only have to clean one pot […]
Autumn has been upon us for a month now… Yet Los Angeles does not feel a bit like crisp, crunchy leaves or pumpkin spice lattes… Just the other day Cobalt and I visited the beach to enjoy the sunny blue skies and cool breezes. I doubt anyone out East where we moved from is doing that […]
I’m super proud of myself! Tonight, after two weeks living in our new house in Los Angeles, I finally broke down and was intentional about setting up a GREAT blog post. I’ll admit: I’ve gotten really lazy the last year, taking pictures of my inventions and such with my smart phone (Windows Nokia Lumia 920; […]
Today I bring to you the most delicious and EASY Fettuccini you’ll ever eat. Watch this video to learn how! I didn’t use smoked fish, just extra vegetables (red peppers, broccoli, green beans and peas) and diced chicken. But it was amazing. Also, Jamie used reduced fat milk for the Alfredo sauce which makes it […]
Call me crazy, but I had no idea what tomato pie was until this summer. A Workshare at Crabtree brought it to lunch one day, which was my first time to taste it. Let me tell you – it was amazing! Creamy, tomatoey, cheesy…it was essentially lasagna sans noodles in a crust! My recipe is different […]
It seems like only yesterday that I was picking blueberries with my friend. And now, sadly, the season is over! Fortunately, there was still had a good amount of blueberries left in my freezer to make Cobalt yet another birthday pie! (aaand two years ago) I used my recipe for Easy Oil Crust from an Apple Pie […]
Recently, I’ve added a new hobby to my life: Teaching Cooking Classes. I meet a friend once a week or so to teach her some simple recipes and techniques that she can take with her for the rest of her life. So far we’ve learned knife skills (though I will say that I’m not the best […]
Ah, blueberry season. What a wonderful time of the year! Today my friend Rachael and I drove out to a Georgia farm to pick 2 gallons each of sweet, juicy blueberries. 2 1/2 hours later we succeeded. It was a nice time to catch up and enjoy the beautiful weather we Tennesseans have been having […]
Cobalt and I picked apples today for the first time in a week! We were disappointed that we had caused many to become so compost-worthy (I usually try to pick them no later than every 2 days). But then were thankful that our compost pile is so happy. Regardless, we still found nearly 10 pounds of apples […]
