My husband and I have been making these Thai boats for years and they always hit the spot. The peanut sauce makes them super filling. The romaine lettuce, lime, and cilantro mean they taste super fresh even in the dead of winter. Serve them up with a side of cilantro lime rice. And preferably a […]
Do I ignore the fact that I haven’t posted anything here in almost six months or do I acknowledge it? Follow up question: is it reasonable to blame the holidays for disappearing from September to February? I shut down for a few weeks in September because my basement, including my office was under construction. Then […]
There’s something about fall always feels like the time to declutter, organize, and just get my life together in general. I think it’s the result of years of my Type A self trying to get ready for school. Luckily, I’m not in school anymore, but that leaves me trying to channel all this energy into […]
I saw a post recently that said something to the effect of “why would I pay $5 for a bag of apples at the grocery store when I could pay $38 to dress in a sweater in 88 degree weather and take my family to the apple orchard and pick our own?” And that’s what […]

Guys. I set out to make a Buddha bowl the other day and ended up with one of the best salads I’ve ever made. Tangy, garlicky, crunchy, fresh, filling, and super quick. You could even use a bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix or prepped veggies from the grocery store to make this even faster. Just […]
I make some kind of Mexican-style meal at least once a week. Usually more often than that. Anything from basic taco-style ground beef to cauliflower taco bowls to these simple, delicious carnitas. Smokey, juicy pulled pork, with little crispy edges and a zesty punch of lime? Yes, please. I make these in the Instant Pot […]
When my husband and I moved in together, we loved spending our afternoons in the kitchen making dinner together and had no problem dirtying every dish in the house to get exactly what we wanted. A lot of life has happened since those days… We’ve both changed jobs, we’re on different shifts, and we had […]
No recipe here, but I wanted to share something I’ve been struggling with in my postpartum journey. Maybe you or someone you know is going through something similar. (It goes without saying that I am not a medical professional and this is only me talking about my individual experience.) There are days I feel like […]
Recipes | Sides | Vegetarian
I just realized I posted this recipe to my Facebook and Instagram, but not here. This is one of my very favorite summer recipes! It comes together super quickly – the most time consuming part is cutting up the watermelon – and there’s no need to turn on the stove or oven. Depending on the […]
I can’t be the only person who thinks “I wish I could have these every day” whenever I have s’mores. It never fails though, I have a true s’more – with a peanut butter cup instead of chocolate bar, obviously – and then spend the rest of the week making sad oven s’mores or even […]
