Hello there! Once again it’s Monday—and the end of yet another month. Is it just me, or has this year flown by? It seems like just a few days ago Mark and I were planning our Disney trip, celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary, and sweating away the summer. While it’s still pretty warm, I just…

Pumpkin Chia Pudding
I know, I know. Every blogger is bombarding you with pumpkin recipes since we’ve been experiencing fall for, oh, not even a full week. I promise in the next couple of months I will share comforting, warming, autumn-inspired dishes that feature other ingredients, but since I haven’t done a lot of cooking lately, this pumpkin…
What I Ate Wednesday: When The Sweet Tooth Strikes
Oh, hey there, friends! We’re already half-way through the work week, which means it’s time for another What I Ate Wednesday. Once again, I’m being unconventional (no single full day of meals to share)—but you can blame my wonky appetite for that. I’ve been neglecting the veggies and satisfying a mega sweet tooth the last…

1. As of Sunday, it’s officially FALL!!! If I were creative enough, I would’ve posted a delicious autumn-inspired recipe, but I’m not, so I sipped a Sam Adams Oktoberfest and O’Fallen Pumpkin Beer instead. Welcome, fall. 🙂 2. Ok, Las Vegas’ Venetian and Paris I understand—and love—but entire communities copied from existing cities? This is so…
WIAW: Nectarine, Goat Cheese, and Honey-Cinnamon Roasted Chickpea Salad
Happy, happy hump day! Since I didn’t photograph many of my meals this week (and don’t want to bore you to death), I’m sharing a simple-but-satisfying recipe that takes advantage of the remnants of summer produce. The idea came to me as I discovered a single nectarine and half a package of goat cheese in…

1. I think the world of True Blood really exists and I am part fae like Sookie Stackhouse (or, I am a vampire who’s drunk on fairy blood). I just can’t get enough sunshine lately! After I eat my lunch, I practically race to the gate so I can spend some time outside, and I…
#MIMM: Weekend Wrap-Up
This weekend has come and gone, but it was pretty marvelous. We managed to get out and enjoy the sunny (and hot!) weather and relax for the upcoming week. Friday night, we ventured out to try the new(ish) Lap’s on the Causeway, but with an hour and 15 minute wait, we were too hungry and…
To Everything There Is a Season… {+ WIAW}
We’re into our second week of September, which, in the blogosphere, means that pumpkin season is in full swing! I’ve even jumped on the bandwagon this week by digging into a salvaged can of last year’s pumpkin purée (that may or may not have been expired for a few months—oops!) for yesterday’s overnight oats (with…

1. You know you’re a grammar nerd when this Buzzfeed article makes your day. I especially love the “Comma Sutra.” 2. Those pesky love bugs have shown up in Alabama. Despite the fact that the front of my car will be covered in the less fortunate bugs, it’s good news—because AUTUMN is approaching!! 3. Speaking…
Roux Dat: The Best Gumbo in ‘Bama
Gumbo is something special. Every family along the Gulf Coast has their favorite, and it’s usually a family recipe, handed down through several generations. I may be biased, but I’m here to tell you that the Davis-Miele gumbo truly is the best in Alabama. If Mark’s spaghetti and meatballs (which I promise to share soon)…
