There comes a point in a thirty-something’s life in which the random things she’s heard, learned, experienced, seen, tasted and smelled over the first third of her life finally start to stick with her. After all, you rarely hear a twenty-something referred to as ‘set in his or her ways.’ No, this art takes years to perfect. If you don’t believe […]

You want to know something funny about these pumpkin spice scones? I threw them in the trash shortly after taking these photos. Why? Because pumpkin is the spice of life people. Well, specifically, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves are the actual spices of life in the fall but you get the idea. Truth is, these just didn’t […]

Sometimes I feel like that guy you went on a first date with and afterwards he says you should hang out again soon but then you don’t hear from him for two-plus weeks. And you’re probably over there on the other end of your computer or smart phone like what the heck? I thought we hit it off? Should […]

Remember when I used to share recipes on the blog? Yeah me neither. But believe it or not, I do still cook every once in a while. So what if I made these two months ago. Or that I’ve had the photos sitting on my camera ever since just reminding me how good they would […]

I ponder life’s questions frequently throughout my day. At the gym. Walking the dog. In the shower. But there are some questions that no matter how much I think about, I just can’t seem to figure them out. I talked about some of them last week but here are just a few more: Why is it that? […]

Sure I could call this a sausage and spinach egg bake or something more obvious like a supreme omelette or a crustless quiche but then I couldn’t emphasize the fancy word that best describes this egg concoction by saying the word FRIT-TA-TA over and over. Aside from being fun to say, frittata simply refers to an italian […]

It’s back! Candy Corn is back in your local grocery store folks! You only have 60 days to enjoy this treat so don’t delay. I don’t know about you but my Labor Day was filled with super sweet waxy triangles of awesomeness. So what if it felt like I was cheating on the holiday. We’re just […]

If you’ve been reading my recipe posts as of late, you’ll know that I’ve been doing everything in my power to avoid turning on my oven this summer. With the exception of this ombre birthday cake for Matt’s birthday, I have stuck with no-cook or grilling meals to combat the summer heat. When Rizzi from […]

Cornbread Cake Crumble

July 14, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

Man I love subject lines chock full of alliteration. Can you blame me? It perfectly sums up what this recipe is; a mix of cornbread, cake and an awesome crumble on top. And as much as I love alliteration, I love cornbread even more. Just don’t tell my good friend almond butter. I’m not sure love even […]

For the love of oats

I have a wee bit of a sweet spot for oats. A self-proclaimed carb-lover, I like that oats provide a complete breakfast with little more than a dash of salt and water. And unlike other carby breakfast foods, they actually fill you up. I also love my cast-iron skillet so I’ve been waiting for a […]
