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!)…
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. …
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. …
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. …
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. …
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. …
Hola foodie friends!
How are you? I have to confess, my current state is just shy of nirvana. I’m enjoying a spontaneous day off of work and soaking up every drop of it. Ferris Bueller ain’t got nothin’ on me. Well, maybe some sophisticated hooky theatrics and a more beguiling sense of rebelliousness. But hey, if my 2nd graders read this, they might demand I sit out at recess or eat lunch in the principal’s office or something equally as terrifying.
You better not tell. Promise?!

Can you believe August is already here?! For me, cooking in late summer in Texas typically boils down to (pun intended) methods that utilize the least amount of heat possible….
Hola foodie friends. It’s been a while! Life has been a bit loco to say the least as we just finished relocating from Houston back to Austin. What can I say? We’re Austin peeps, born and bred. We just can’t get enough of our city. …
Oh, sweet summertime. There’s nothing about summer I behold quite as dearly as the sight of a jubilant summer sun sinking down into the horizon, stretching an al fresco dinner into a luxuriously languorous evening affair….
