Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
Farmer’s Market Succotash is the absolute best way I’ve ever eaten veggies in my entire life. The recipe keeps it simple, so we really enjoy the seasonal, farm-to-table summer flavors.
I’m not lying when I say this: I don’t think I’ve ever seen something disappear from my fridge faster than Farmer’s Market Succotash. It’s just a pot of vegetables. But really, really well-prepared, simply made, fresh, seasonal, farm-to-table vegetables.

I’ve lightened up these easy 7-Layer Sheet Pan Nachos by using baked tortilla chips, reduced fat cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream), and a ton of fresh veggies. This recipe is super versatile and if you prefer to use black beans or to add chicken, ground beef, extra cheese, or different veggies. I say go for it! I do recommend always serving with margaritas.

Dijon Steak Nicoise Salad. Less than 30 minutes to a lean, high-protein lunch or dinner. Sugar free, gluten free, and perfect for meal prepping.
You guyyyyys. Happy Monday. (Shrugs shoulders.) Don’t know why, can’t explain it, I’m in a good mood. Like a wanna-smile-all-the-time mood. (Ask me if this is still true after work today though. I’m curious how far this will go.) I’m just really happy about all the food blogging things. And about manual DSLR camera settings on sunshiney days and beautiful pictures of beautiful foods like Dijon Steak Nicoise Salad.

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.

Please tell me you have room left in your big food-loving heart for a last tomato recipe. Please tell me that you’re kitchen looks like mine and you have too many left over tomatoes (and bell peppers and jalapeños) than you know what to do with. And now, take a deep breath, because we are going to cook all of those tomatoes down into a smooth, creamy, almost sweet sauce that you can eat right away or freeze for those days when you have the wintertime blues and desperately need a late-summer tomato pick-me-up.

I know some of you guys are waiting to hear what I made Chipotle Mayo for, but… Ermagherrrd. It can wait. I need to share my love for burrata cheese with the entire online world.
I mean, tomato season is on its way out the door. Don’t shoot the messenger. Just tellin’ it like it is. This is my absolute favorite way to eat tomatoes. I know I said the same thing last week. I wasn’t lying. Tomato & Goat Cheese Tart is crazy delicious. But its totally allowable to have a two-way tie, or an eight-way, or even a 17-way tie in the food world. I would say it’s encouraged even.

I swear I’m going to write about tomatoes, but all I really want to do is talk about Miller.
And how every time I get an email from a potential owner, my heart stops dead. Wee little Miller, who weighed 2.93 pounds at the vet’s office. Tiny, bouncy Miller, the snuggle partner. Her only fault is that she is so small, I might roll over and crush her one day. She had her first public outing yesterday. I found out that she is a people-person. I might have to use this to my advantage…
