I know, friends. I really do know. I just posted a meatball/pasta recipe. However. Sophie went gaga for the meatballs, and she HATES meat, so I wanted to see if it was a meatballs thing or a those meatballs thing. Turns out, girlfriend likes more than one kind of meatballs. Woot! I don’t blame her.

Confession: neither Michael nor I care much for sports in general. Not that we’re anti-sports or anything, we just don’t really love sports. As in, I’m pretty sure neither of us has watched a full football, basketball, or baseball game in our marriage. So, almost 5 years. That does not mean, however, that we don’t [...]

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. I [...]

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 [...]

Oh, chicken salad. Official food of ladies’ get togethers, baby and bridal showers, luncheons, and hot summer days…I love you. Seriously, I loooove chicken salad. Michael does too. And every time we eat it, we wonder why we only have it 1-2 times a year.

 Michael and I don’t go to very many chain restaurants (not because we’re snooty, but because we don’t go out to many restaurants in general), but we do really love going to The Cheesecake Factory. It’s where we fell in love with so many of our favorite foods (cuban sandwich, we’re looking at you). One [...]

I love pizza night. I could honestly eat pizza almost every night of the week without getting tired of it. I usually go with something simple, like the pesto, tomatoes, and cheese combination I did here, but every once in a while I love doing something a little over the top.

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. We all choose horses and the winner gets glory and honor until the next year. We don’t drink alcohol, so we don’t go for the traditional mint [...]
