Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
I finished this dip off yesterday on top of a thick piece of pumpernickel. Happy Healthy Sunday. Uh huhh.
Keleigh at Where There’s a Meal has been such a great blog friend! She posted Beet Dip recipe two of two on her blog today. Click here for the recipe. To read what I have to say about Keleigh, click here. To read what Keleigh has to say about herself and her blog, click here.
Expect to see this lady’s name and face and blog again — I’ll be asking her to do a guest post for me soon too!
Check out my friend Keleigh’s blog, Where There’s a Meal, to get this recipe for Roasted Red Beet Hummus.
Keleigh is a wife and mother who writes that for most of her life, she hated almost all fruits and vegetables. (Whaaaat. –> veggie-lover talking here.) Her blog is about trying new foods (and lots of fruits & veggies) and it’s about making kid-friendly and picky-eater-friendly meals. If she is willing to eat beets, I feel like she has come a long way. It’s inspiring!

I’m writing this on the drive home from Nashville.
Guuuurrrrls weeeekeennnndd!
It took all my effort to shout that. I am worn out.
It’s been 10 days of travel — two very different trips, but both soooo awesome. I called the BBF nearly every day and talked his ear off. Seriously, the guy is such a good sport.

My friends are growing up. We all get older, but I reserve the term “growing up” for those life events that are life-changing. Graduations. marriages. births. promotions. heartbreak. even travel can be life-changing.
In my experience, life-changing moments = abundance of food. And this weekend I was hit with two of those life-changing-decadent-table-spread-open-bar events – a baby shower and a wedding. Even my best intentions and pre-party pep talks of “You don’t have to eat cake just because there is cake” were not enough to actually keep me away from the cake. Or from the vino.

Now that Labor Day festivities are over, time to refuel with green veggies. I browsed a bunch of blog sites several days ago to find salad recipes and came to a couple of conclusions: (1) Kale is trending and (2) I’m scared of it. So this is Sriracha Chicken Salad with Lime Vinaigrette and Not With Kale.

This is the first post on my personal domain! I have no clue what I’m doing (as you can probably see from the current layout quirks). Naive me — I was shocked to find out that it’s really difficult to run your own site. “They” recommend that I hire someone to do all of this for me, but it’s very expensive. And now I know why. But hopefully, you’ll see this site becoming more personalized each time you visit.
And so, here’s a recipe and a post simply so I can take a break from my tech-heavy day. 🙂

Yesterday was Clean Out the Fridge Friday.
Like most everyone else in America, I sometimes realize — I have no idea what’s in my fridge. What’s hiding in the back corners? in the bottom of the crisper? in that Tupperware container that’s who knows how old…?

I’ve been on a weeklong hiatus because I went to New York and became a Godmomma! What I’ve decided: When you have an infant, every task becomes a superhuman feat. I couldn’t pour syrup on my waffles Sunday morning. Actually, I couldn’t even get the waffle on my plate. Babies are definitely a two-handed job. Big props to all the cooking and/or blogging mommas out there with babes and tots on their hands!
My vacation was full of celebratory food and drink — that’s how my family does it. Then yesterday, the BBF and I went for a nice evening to celebrate our 13 months together (we missed month 12!), which included more celebratory food and drink. Hence, the salad for dinner this evening.
