Before meeting Kevin, I had never been to the south. I had never had grits, or Chick-fil-A, or true southern BBQ. While my relationship with Chick-fil-A was love at first bite, it took me some time to come around to grits. I didn't understand the concept. To me, they seemed similar to cream of wheat, but I couldn't wrap my hand around eating this creamy mush as a savory dish. Loaded with bacon and cheese? I didn't get it. But I have seen the light. I love grits. And shrimp and grits have ... continue reading...
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas
Who doesn't love enchiladas? A tortilla that you can fill with endless options, and cover with sauce and cheese? Sign me up. They're easy to throw together in advance and cover with sauce and cheese before baking, making them a dream for those of you who meal prep. These sweet potato black bean enchiladas are filled with ingredients that are good for you, which I'm going to say cancels out the cheesy topping. I made sure this recipe wasn't too spicy, because everything that you see on ... continue reading...
Honey Garlic Double Crunch Chicken
We don't get takeout very often, since it's obviously cheaper and healthier to cook at home, but sometimes we choose to indulge.

Cheesy Spaetzle with Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms
Since Kevin and I have lived in Washington State the entire time we've been married, before having kids we always travelled for the holidays. We would rotate between seeing his family in Atlanta and my family in Chicago and we always had a great time. When I was pregnant with Lleyton, we couldn't travel on Christmas because I was 2 weeks from my due date. As we planned our holiday in the house we had just moved into a few months before, we decided to create our own traditions. One of those ... continue reading...
Farro with Caramelized Fennel and Oranges
I'm one of those people that gets super excited about the bulk bins of grocery stores. When we used to live in Tacoma, the grocery store we went to had the most amazing bulk food section I've ever been too. I loved it because I could get single serving amounts of grains that I had never tried to experiment and see what I liked. While the grocery store we shop at now does have a bulk food section, it's not as extensive as the one at our previous store. When I buy farro now, I buy it from Trader ... continue reading...
