You guysssss. I’ve been gone so long, I don’t even know where to start. I don’t even remember how to blog. Like… what do I write about?
I guess food is a pretty safe subject.

Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
Happy 2016 friends! This is going to be a GOOD year. I can feel it in my bones.
I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions, but I did make one January 3rd resolution: Each morning, I’m going to write down 10 things I’m thankful for and three goals for the week. Nothing overwhelming — just simple things. Today I was thankful for faux fur and new friends and a goal this week is to be confident at work.

Comfort food sometimes get a bad rap. But ya know what? Comfort food is always healthy in at least one way — it’s always healthy for the soul. Sitting cozy by the fire, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, possibly with a dog or cat curled up next to you, and maybe a significant other, reading a book, sharing a big bowl of Butternut Squash Crabmeat Mac & Cheese… Just thinking about it is good for my soul.

If my last post was about the best thing I’ve ever made, then this post is about the second best thing I’ve ever made. You’re getting back to back winners and if both of these dishes aren’t on your table sometime in the next month (…Thanksgiving, possibly?), you are m.i.s.s.i.n.g. o.u.t.
Before the food, I’m going to share an embarrassing story because I know that’s what keeps you friends coming back:
