Homemade Salsa
Holy August Batman! Is anyone else’s garden exploding? Mine is! Every day I am bringing in more tomatoes, squash, peppers, herbs… I mean don’t get me wrong, I love having fresh vegetables and herbs right outside my door, but good lord. There could be a small farm stand at the end of my driveway and I could STILL have too much. Makes for a happy coworkers and lots of ideas for a food blogger 😉 All kidding aside I really do enjoy having a garden. It keeps me busy and I love knowing where my food comes from. Clearly anyone who knows me, knows that I am all about eating…

Peach Necatrine Butter
Oh, Hey…Â Â Â Â What’s up? Long time no blog. Can we chat for a second? I just wanted you to know it is nothing personal. I don’t hate you, or dislike you even. In fact, I care for you very much. It just, well… Things get in the way sometimes. Sometimes there’s this thing called life, that acts like a tornado and rips through your life and tosses around all your belongings, even that lamp you love that your soon to be hubby hates. It’s kinda crazy. And little annoying. Scratch that, SUPER annoying. My life has been a jumbled mess of decisions, wedding planning, renovations, work and just life. Napkins,…

Sweet Potato Chips
Ok, so it has literally been a month since I have posted….whatttt the heck!? I apologize my dear friends, my priorities have changed so much this past year.

Getting married is really a full time job by itself, not to mention the actual job that I have that I work 8 hours at and then try to get some gym time in and also you know…sleep and renovate my home. Sheesh. Who knew? I still love to cook and I…

Homemade Greek Yogurt Cheese
Wait…did I read that right? Yup, you did. Homemade.Greek.Yogurt.Cheese. That just happened. I love cheese, but most of the time it doesn’t love me back. I have been avoiding cheese on the whole as much as I can. Maybe a few sneaks here and there, but on the whole I have been avoiding it for about 3-4 months now. Believe me, I love it. A big bowl of Mac & Cheese? Amazing. My stomach agrees…for about 15 minutes. 😉 My mom found a recipe to make cheese from Greek Yogurt and of course I was intrigued. I love Greek Yogurt. Love eating it with fruit, cooking with it, using it…

Success! Homemade Ravioli
Yes! I did it! I finally made the leap and made my very own homemade pasta! I have always heard how people say that pasta made from scratch is so much better than store bought. However, I was never brave enough or frankly had enough time to make homemade pasta. Well, this weekend while I was sick and curled up in my blanket reading my book (Blood Men), that I actually finished this weekend – it is amazing how much reading you can get done if you sit still for a while, I decided that I was going to attack my fear and just do it…MAKE THE PASTA! Pasta is…
