Geez, this summer flew by fast! It’s unbelievable that some schools have already begun the Fall Semester and here I am, graduated and wondering what to do with myself now that I will never walk into a university again. (I know, I know. You’re probably saying, “never say ‘never,’ Hope.” So maybe it isn’t never but […]

Farm Fresh #Blueberries + Muffin Recipe
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 […]
Zucchini, Apple, Carrot & Coconut Sweet Bread with Cream Cheese Icing
If you’ve been following me on instagram, you may have noticed that I recently posted a picture collage of my recent attempt making zucchini bread. Well, here is the recipe, finally, with some real DSLR pictures (I really need to stop using my phone for blog pics…) and some new dishes! :D I found a […]
Lemon Cranberry Muffins
The inspiration for these lemon muffins came from the fact I bought 2 1-lbs bags of lemons for $2 at Aldi — they were on SUPAH SALE. I don’t think that I’ve ever seen lemons this cheap before! (Usually lemons are 50 cents each. Makes sense, though considering they are travelling across the country…. #nonlocalfoodismoreexpensive. ) […]

Merry Christmas! Cinnamon Rolls
I don’t know about you all but I am pretty convinced that Christmas this year sneaked up a little more sneakily than in the past. Seems like yesterday that Cobalt and I were cruising across the country, exploring deserts and cities we’d never ventured to before. Also doesn’t seem long ago that we shared our […]
Tis the Season to be Chilly: Homemade Wassail and Hot Chocolate
Merry Almost Christmas, friends! Today was my last day of classes/exams for the semester. I am absolutely overjoyed, as this semester was especially challenging. Celebrated with Christmas music, cleaning my kitchen, dressing up, walking around downtown Chattanooga with Cobalt, honoring my sister-in-law’s birthday and baking turkey “sausage” biscuits for breakfasts this week. It was a […]
Peanut Butter Granola Cookies
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love peanut butter! I’ll stir it into oatmeal, yogurt fruit dip, pasta, granola bites and smoothies! This cookie recipe I made the other day was originally an oatmeal chocolate chip recipe but I — of course — modified it to go with the ingredients that I […]
