Hi, I have some news for you. I think know you’re going to love me for it (that is…if you’re not glutenfree/dairyfree/vegetarian/vegan/paleo/Whole30). All you aforementioned peeps, we’ll talk soon….

Smoked Salmon Tartines
Hellooooo, Monday!
The sun is shining, the Spotify playlist is on point, the baby is giggling…[revision: crying and overtired, I actually had to come back an hour later to finish writing this.]
Regardless of Townes’s temperament, the fact that I look exactly how I did when I woke up this morning, am sleep-deprived, haven’t eaten lunch or taken care of about 5 things I thought I would have done by now (and, let’s be honest, some other personal struggles too), today is shaping up to be a great one. It’s all in my mindset….
Ribollita
Hola, friends!
How are you? In shock that the first month of the year has already snuck away? Mmmhmm. For me, it takes an extreme level of conscientiousness to prevent time from slip-sliding away, especially as I get older and especially with an infant. In fact, one of the reasons I adore cooking lies in its inherent ability to ground me into the present moment….
White Chicken Chili
Anytime there is a slight dip in temperature on the horizon (even if it’s 70) I can almost unwaveringly venture to guess what my dad will be making for dinner…and that’s chili. …
Game Day Nachos
Fall is (almost) officially here! If not evidenced by the cooler temperatures, at least by the abrupt interruption of original tv programming (modern day equivalent: Netflix shows on pause) by…football. You can just sense my enthusiasm, right? I mean, I wasn’t a high school cheerleader for nothing, but I have to say, and you probably already guessed it, I’m more in it for the tailgating snacks and socialization. (Especially these days. Can’t believe I’ll be 30 weeks pregnant today!)…
Pulled Pork Stuffed Shells with Chimichurri
The first time I made these pulled pork stuffed shells with chimichurri was last summer for a fun girl’s trip to my family’s lake house in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Ever since then, I’ve been getting requests for the recipe, also remaking them myself, as I was never fully satisfied with the outcome. Oh the beautiful, yet humbling, process of creating. …
Roasted Corn, Sweet Potato + Crab Chowder
You’re probably wondering if I’ve lost my mind, aren’t you? Doing crazy things like posting a soup recipe in the heat of summer! Well, I’ve been in the beautiful San Juan mountains of Telluride, Colorado for almost 2 weeks now, a much needed respite from the sweltering Texas heat. …
Grilled Cherry + Balsamic Glazed Pork Ribs
Happy weekend, y’all! I have become a huge proponent of dinner all on the grill lately. If it’s fired up and ready to go, why not utilize all the heat that’s been created? Not to mention, it’s a delicious way to get a meal on the table in a snap with very little cleanup. …
Bison + Spinach Stuffed Roasted Tomatoes
I’ve really been in the Italian state of mind lately, at least from a culinary stand point. Maybe it’s because every other person I talk to is either fresh off the plane from an Italian getaway or planning one (Mom, next fall right?!) or, more likely, that I’m 5 months pregnant and craving pasta all the time. …
Caramelized Onion + Chicken Curry
Oh, hello March! And hello there hungry foodie friends.
I’m simultaneously gripping onto to the last threads of cooler weather, yet also discreetly ushering in sunnier, longer days with this twist on a classic Indian dish, chicken curry. The caramelized onions and blistered cherry tomatoes contribute a sweet layer to an intensely warm, soul-lifting meal experience encountered within the loose confines of this recipe. …
