New Flora | Barhi Dates
Wow, it’s been absolutely forever since I’ve done a New Flora post. I thought I had given them up, but lately I’ve been missing them. That’s okay, right? A few times lately I’ve thought about doing a New Flora post to introduce y’all to some new-to-me (and hopefully you too) piece of produce that I […]

Pasta in Vodka Sauce w/ Sausage & Onions
I had planned this recipe as a throw-together Sunday night dinner of pasta with store bought marinara and store bought Field Roast sausages (don’t worry, there were veggies too. But they stayed just as boring as I planned them.) But then a moment of food-genius struck and I realized that with a couple extra tweaks […]

Sun Dried Tomato Israeli Couscous Bowl
I told y’all that I got to go to Preston’s law school prom a couple weeks ago, but I failed to mention that the venue’s vegetarian option for dinner was a fantastic vegan Israeli couscous dish. It wasn’t much fancy, but it was really satisfying. Couscous tossed with a simple and wonderful marinara sauce mixed […]

Blueberry Scones
I am keeping up with my little goal to use my cookbooks more! I have a highly sophisticated bookmarking system with post-it flags in all of my cookbooks so I can more quickly sort through the recipes that I HAVE to make sooner rather than later. Really convenient for an early weekend morning when I […]

Hey everybody! Welcome back from the long weekend 🙂 I took a nice break and now I’m back with a fantastic quickie recipe. I have a new pasta obsession. It is a super speedy dish with simple, clean, but wonderful flavors and I can’t get enough of it. It comes together in less than 15 […]

Raspberry Lemon Vanilla Smoothie
I made a super simple tiny smoothie the other day to accompany some toast for breakfast, and loved it! I thought you’d like it too. It tastes like summer in the dead of winter. Perfectly pink frozen fruit, that bright fresh flavor from lemon juice, all blended in a beautiful chilly little drink (that maybe […]

Maraschino Cherry Cake w/ Elderflower-Honey Buttercream
It’s birthday cake time! Last year I made a drunken Frangelico blueberry cake, and the year before it was an amaretto-drenched cake. Plus, for Preston’s birthday he got an orange brown sugar whiskey cake. Boozy cakes have become a birthday tradition. True to that lovely tradition, my mom made me INCREDIBLE tiramisu cupcakes for the […]

Biscuits & Gravy Brunch
Vegan biscuits and gravy, AH! Seriously, guys, I’m addicted! SO yummy! Plus, you can whip this up way faster than you’d think. Last weekend I had some friends over for a birthday brunch. It was a little hectic getting ready for brunch because the day before was Preston’s law school prom. (Yes, I got to […]

Peppermint Ice Cream + Peppermint Mocha Afogato
Two recipes in one today, so I’m jumping right into the food. No need for a story behind this one – the reason is: because obviously.

Zucchini Walnut Fritters
Hi, friends! Happy Saturday!Sorry I’ve been AWOL this week. My week flew by, I’ve focused my blog time on working out a few more kinks from the redesign (posts may still be slow for a little while as I work everything out…), and I celebrated my birthday yesterday! But I wanted to pop in to […]
