Let’s talk about salad, shall we? It seems that when January rolls around, everyone starts eating salads again. Sure, I understand that a lot of people are making resolutions and turming over a new leaf in the new year, but as someone who is not a big fan of salads, it’s always a struggle for…
I’ve heard a lot of people say they think it’s easiest to eat well in the summer… After all, there is a wide variety of fresh produce readily available and we are all supposed to just whip up a salad for lunch and dinner every day. I don’t know about you, but that’s not generally…
I’ve been taking a bit of a break from my Friday Favorites lately… My regular Friday Favorites will return later this fall (post-baby!). But, lately I just haven’t had the time and energy to get through my RSS reader each week. I suppose being close to 9 months pregnant is a good excuse, but I…
Reading food blogs has become dangerous for me lately… I seem to be constantly hungry, and looking at lots of incredible photos of even more incredibly delicious food doesn’t help things at all!

She’s got some really fabulous recipes on her site, and she also happens to be one of my favorite photographers….
I’ve still got Thanksgiving on the brain… Consider yourself warned! I still haven’t figured out my menu for Thanksgiving… I’ve got plenty of ideas, but haven’t made any final decisions yet. I’m just having too much fun exploring new recipe ideas! Since I know a lot of you are planning your own Thanksgiving meals, I…
