Intimidated by cooking Kabocha Squash? It’s delicious and nutritious when prepared this simple way! Hi friends!

I have to remind myself that not everyone reading this blog is a food blogger…
Kale and Bacon Gratin
Can you believe it’s Thanksgiving already? I don’t think time could move any faster! I’m in full pie mode right now and debating on what to do for our vegetable side dishes. So many choices, so little time. I’ve never been into creamy vegetables like creamed spinach. It’s not that I don’t like creamy. I do. I…
Baked Sweet Potato Chunks with Oregano
Hello and Happy Friday! I love going to others peoples’ houses for dinner because you just never know when you’ll be introduced to something that you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.

Purple Potato Salad
It looks like delivery subscription services are my thing- I’ve always loved getting fun mail. So in addition to Stitch Fix, my new obsession is getting my weekly CSA box. It’s so fun seeing all these beautiful organic veggies (and some fruit) at my door each week. I also love the challenge of finding out…
Hasselback Potatoes with Garlic and Herbs
Hi friends! I ended up with a short blogging week last week because my mother-in-law was visiting. You would think I would get more done with family in town but I prefer to take the time off rather than hide out in my office trying to catch up. It was great having her, but now…
