Guys, I have a new blog crush. Have you visited Ambitious Kitchen? I’ve been smitten with so many of the beautiful recipes I’ve seen! Her rainbow-colored breakfast tacos, her browned butter nutella-stuffed chocolate chip cookies topped with sea salt (seriously, did you catch all that goodness?), and these meatballs have had my eye lately.

Marriage changes people. Exhibit A: When we got married, I had never cooked steak in my life. That’s not true anymore. Exhibit B: Michael told me when we got married that he thought mangoes tasted like pine trees. While he wouldn’t love to devour a bowl of mangoes anytime soon, he likes these quesadillas, this [...]

Are you getting ready for the Kentucky Derby this weekend? I never even knew when the Kentucky Derby was until marrying into Michael’s family. It’s quite an affair.

Now that Easter is over, for some reason I feel like summer is just around the corner. Thinking about summer makes me think about grilling. Oh, you guys!

Nerd alert: I’ve been more excited about Mardi Gras since I saw the Disney movie Princess and the Frog. The way they talk about Cajun food in that movie makes me want some every time [...]
