I’m in a breakfast rut again. Occasionally, I’ve been craving savory breakfasts. I can’t get enough eggs lately, but I’m too lazy to get up earlier than usual to make them before work, so they generally make an appearance on the weekends or at dinner. I still love overnight and regular oats, but I’ve been…

Food Bloggers Unite: Feeding South Africa
Food. It’s comfort. It’s life-sustaining. Experimental or traditional. Nouveau or classic. It’s pedestrian to one, pretentious to another. Food varies from culture to culture—and tells the stories of our families, experiences, customs, and moods. To me, food truly is one of my favorite pleasures in life. To a great many in the world, however, food…
Tropical Pineapple and Coconut Chia Pudding
It’s the middle of winter, and it’s cold. I know this. I know this because, for the second time in less than a week, the local weather forecast predicts a wintry mix of sleet, ice, and snow. What I like to call snizzle. Here on the Gulf Coast, we just don’t get snow. In March…
WIAW + Shredded Kale, Brussels Sprouts, Pomegranate, Pistachio, and Walnut Salad
Happy Wednesday, my dears! Today is monumental because I’m actually posting a recipe for you guys. It’s the first recipe of the year—and also the first since mid-November. I’m ashamed. 🙁 My shame aside, do you remember that salad I talked about at Thanksgiving? Well, I discovered a few (bad) photos on my camera, and…
Easy But Elegant: Pear, Brie, and Arugula Panini
Does anybody else out there worship and rely on sandwiches the way I do? Sandwiches are much like salads and soups, in that you can be as creative as you wish, and it’s going to work out . (Sometimes magically.) Whether it’s an oeey-gooey grilled cheese (dipped in tomato soup—it’s required!), a classic BLT, chicken…
Slow-Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Sauerkraut and Apples
On our recent trip to New Orleans, we had an amazing pork dish at Oktoberfest. The pork itself was smoked and was served atop a mixture of apples, sauerkraut, and onions. We loved this dish so much that we decided to recreate it at home. Though our pork doesn’t have the same smokiness, the use…
Roasted Buttercup Squash with Cinnamon-Spiced Millet
Whoa, there—could I really be posting a recipe? Could this actually be a food-centered post on what I tend to label as a food blog? By golly, it is! Although this fall-inspired dish is sinfully simple, it is, in fact, a legitimate recipe. Inspired by Gena’s roasted acorn squash with cinnamon-scented quinoa, this nutritious meal…
Porcini Mushroom Risotto + WIAW
If you’ve ever watched an episode of Top Chef, you’ll realize that risotto has a bit of a reputation. Any experienced cook knows the satisfaction and comfort that result from a perfectly creamy, yet ever-so-slightly al dente risotto, one that is neither too soupy nor excessively sticky and thick. Nevertheless, it’s something that must be…
WIAW + (Soon To Be Famous) Spaghetti & Meatballs
Happy Hump Day, blog world! This week has been a slow one, but the beautiful, cooler weather more than makes up for that. I’m going to get right down to the food today because I’m finally sharing my husband’s amazing spaghetti and meatballs with you! But first, let’s take a look at What I Ate…
Fall-Inspired Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie
As a southerner, I don’t think I could live without sweet potatoes. Not only are they delicious—they’re bursting with all sorts of nutrients. Like most orange-hued fruits/vegetables, sweet potatoes are chock-full of beta carotene. They’re also a good source of dietary fiber, protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins A and C, and, surprisingly (to me, anyway), calcium…
