Are you bored with your veggies? I realized a handful of vegetables (sautéed spinach, roasted asparagus, & steamed sugar snap peas) are in frequent rotation in my house with little variety. So when I spotted fresh okra at the grocery, I decided to spice things up in my kitchen. Now, I’ve had my fair share [...]
Good morning Y’all! Although this week is flying by (is it really Thursday already?!), we are making progress on our wedding invitations. We should have them finished by this weekend. In efforts to avoid a grocery trip till after the invitations are finished, I made dinner last night using ingredients we had on hand in [...]
Last night I cooked spaghetti squash for the first time. I’ve seen many different ways to cook the squash around the blogosphere; some cut it in half and microwave or bake, while others microwave or bake it whole. I knew it would take some major muscle to cut the squash in half prior to cooking [...]
Hello friends! This week is moving right along; I’ve been so busy that I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday?! This week has also been filled with some new eats for me. I was one of the few left in the blogosphere that has not tried kale chips. I decided to take action and make some [...]
Thanks for all the well wishes for Cory and I’s upcoming wedding! Y’all are too sweet

This morning I cooked Cory’s favorite breakfast, banana pancakes. I used 100% whole wheat pancake mix with added bananas of [...]
Two days till my family’s annual Christmas Eve party! I’m bringing a fruit tray… last year, I introduced many family members to pomegranate seeds and kiwis; I couldn’t believe some of them have never had kiwi!? My “exotic” fruit tray was such a hit that the platter was cleared before the end of the party! [...]
One week until Christmas Eve and I’m officially finished all my holiday shopping!!! And to add to my Christmas decor, my coworker brought me a bag of holly from her garden…
The Before
The After
I have a new level of respect for florists. Making arrangements requires so much patience! I’m loving the festive holly in the dining [...]
Happy Friday!!! It’s been a typical New Orlean’s winter so far… scarf worthy weather one day and flip flop appropriate weather the next. Cory and I have no plans for the weekend and I’m looking forward to taking it easy; although, I must finish my holiday shopping.
The other night, I made my shrimp white wine [...]
