Farmer’s Soup with Turnips, Spinach and Butternut Squash
I have Hilton to thank for this soup. Hilton is a local farmer who has recently set up shop in our town, selling his organic vegetables to people like me who are dying to have a real farmers’ market. For $20, you bring your own bag and he fills it to the brim with produce. […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chia Bites
If you spend any time on these vast internets searching for recipes (which you probably do since you’re reading this blog), you may have noticed the trend in bite-sized snacks. There are the sweeter types like cake balls/cake pops and cookie dough balls as well as healthier versions like raw energy balls. I’ve been wanting […]
Guest Post: Chicken Parm Bake
Hello, Oven Lovers! I’m Jessica (from Jessica Lynn Writes and The Tale of Two Kitchens) and I’m so happy to be here today! I know Natalie from my days of living in Georgia, and as much as I love living my new digs in Italy, I miss seeing her face almost every day and getting […]
Gyoza Pan-Fried Dumplings
I don’t know if you noticed, but I don’t make much Asian food around here (remember Project Food Blog?). That’s not because I don’t like it, I just get a little intimidated by it and don’t know where to get reliable recipes. I’ve made a few Asian items- classic Kung-Pao Chicken, Lighter Sesame Chicken, Beef […]
Fresh Strawberry Cake with Cream Cheese Swiss Meringue Buttercream
I am considering this Lucy’s very first birthday cake. Okay, okay.. right now, it’s more for Mama than it is for little Lucy, but I will certainly make it for her again some day. Lucille Naomi joined the world a week ago today; at home, in the water, and much quicker than I expected. But […]

It’s hard to NOT hit it off with Natalie – she is super sweet, bubbly, and an absolutely gorgeous person inside and out! 🙂 Anyhow, since […]
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
If you’re craving something sweet, rustic and easy to put together, than this cookie will be calling your name. Just looking at this iron skillet reminds me of summers spent at my family’s cabin- but that’s just nostalgia talking, since our typical treats up there were things like oatmeal pies and roasted marshmallows. But I […]
Freezer-Friendly Chicken Enchiladas
Forgive me if I don’t have much to say today. I am now living in the Land Beyond Due Dates (again) and I’m having trouble thinking of anything more than this baby’s pending arrival. My brain and body are fried from weeks of early contractions and the last few sleepless nights of false labor. Can’t […]
