Well, hello again! Apparently it’s been four months since I last wrote – little did I know that my summer job would take up so much of my time and that my habitual photography whilst cooking would dwindle! Needless to say, I am back! It will take a bit of time to readjust to documenting […]
It’s so interesting to live in Los Angeles this time of year. Back in Tennessee–where Cobalt and I moved from last October–it’s beginning to warm up from the winter season. But here the weather is the same it’s always been: sunny, warm in the day and cool at night. I can’t say I miss the […]
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday season. Cobalt and I didn’t visit our families on the East Coast this year but instead enjoyed quality time together at our new home in Los Angeles. We watched a lot of movies, enjoyed walks around our neighborhood, decorated Ginger Bread Houses (Cobalt […]

Since we opened our home all day long, we planned three meals to share with our guests. In the morning we served brunch: mini quiches, fruit, blueberry muffins, cherry hand pies, orange […]

“Meat & threes.” You gotta love ‘em. Protein, starch, vegetable (and/or fruit) and bread — it’s all there, perfectly blanketing the plate with colors, nutrition and deliciousness. I don’t often cook meat and threes. Mostly because it’s a lot of work to make for only two people (Hubs and I). I usually make a meat/protein and one. Tuna […]
Jamie Oliver is an inspiration to me. His enthusiasm for easy recipes that are nutritious and crowd pleasing AND kid friendly make me want to jump out of my seat and experiment beyond what I already know. In addition, his love for teaching kids about healthy eating warms my heart that someone out there is […]
