These mini BLENDABELLA™ muffulettas are cute, delicious, and a cinch to assemble! Filled with a Tuscan flavored portabella mushroom tapenade, they are a fun and tasty take on a well-loved classic. I know what you’re thinking. Sacrilege! Messing with something so perfect in its simplicity—zesty meats, cheese, and briny olive salad—is sacrilegious. I get it,…

Herbed Goat Cheese, Mozzarella, & Tomato Grilled Cheese
I’m generally a big fan of April. Flowers are in bloom, the weather is still cool and spring-like, it’s Mark’s and my anniversary (#6 this year!), and it’s usually the kickoff of fun outdoor events that carry on into the summer. But this year, I’m especially fond of April because I’ve learned it’s also National…
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…
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…
Slow Cooker Jambalaya
The sole redeeming factor of our long, sweltering, southern summers (well, besides fresh produce and beautiful beaches) is football season. Though I’m not loyal to a college team (I support the SEC in general—best conference in the country!), I do love my New Orleans Saints. Who dat?!!… Tonight, to “celebrate” our first pre-season game against…
No-Cook Meals for the Summertime
Since it’s blazing hot in basically every region in this country, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite, tried-and-true, no-cook meals. Turning on the oven or stovetop all day is nearly blasphemous in the summertime, so stocking up on raw vegetables and other easy ingredients has become my new priority. First…
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Mushrooms are another one of those foods I avoided like the plague for most of my life. Though the idea of eating a fungus still creeps me out a bit, I’ve grown to love mushrooms of all varieties, in all types of dishes. I love a good steak on occasion (filet, usually), but I equally…
Naan An Ordinary Pizza {+ WIAW 32}
The first time I tried naan bread at an office potluck over 5 years ago, it was love at first taste. I’ve had the authentic, freshly-made version a few times since then, but I’ve never attempted to make it myself. Thankfully, these pre-packaged Stonefire naan do just fine in a pinch. Plus, they come 2…
Summertime Peach & Basil Smoothie
It’s not even mid-June yet, but it’s been absurdly hot this week. It’s been so hot that my relaxing, lunchtime park walks may soon be ending! 🙁 On days that begin in the 80°s, warm—even lukewarm—breakfasts are out of the question, so today’s morning meal included a delicious new smoothie that screams summertime. Featuring juicy…
Easy Weeknight Dinner: Veggie & Herb Frittata
I don’t know if it’s because yesterday was National Egg Day (I’m always late on these things—but maybe my subconscious wasn’t), but I’ve been seriously craving eggs since the weekend. What I really wanted was a drippy, yolky egg, but a frittata for dinner was the next best thing. Made from whatever vegetables and herbs…
