Simplest Garlic Zucchini
I found a zucchini recipe that Preston and I both devour. Last time I made it, I used half of the world’s largest zucchini a coworker brought into work (the other half made zucchini crisps three times!) and I assumed we’d have leftovers for the next day, but we both inhaled a huge plate of…

Guava St. Germain Spritzer
Hello, summer cocktail! This beauty was an on-a-whim concoction I made when I had friends over and needed a good drink.

Weeknight Favorite | Simple Grilled Kabobs
I have a brand new favorite easy weeknight meal. It’s healthy, satisfying, SO fun, and really easy to customize to fit your own preferences! It’s kabobs. Mostly veggies with a couple fun things thrown in for flair. This was the first meal Preston and I made on our brand new grill before he left, and…

Leftover Makeover | Chipotle Tabasco Empanadas
Seriously, when was the last time I did a leftover makeover? I’m bummed I don’t do them more often because creative use of leftovers is a point of pride with me. But as promised yesterday, I’m using some of my leftover Tabasco Burgers to make spicy and crazy easy empanadas.
