I have so little energy to blog…I honestly don’t even know how I got myself to open wordpress, but here I am with four seconds to spare and so I’m going to upload some food photos because it makes me happy to see/reminisce on things I made. I’m pretty proud of everything I am making these days on account of how stunted I feel. My creativity is suffering from soaring like a bird with nipped wings. I am doing my best though. And the fam is legitimately LOVING every meal that comes out of the… Read more >

Ok, so here are a few (non-amazon) sites that I’ve been using to help keep businesses running and me here at home. BLESS THE EMPLOYEES OF ALL DELIVERY SERVICES!

So anyway, this dressing was old, but I was in the mood for a chili lime cilantro kind of sauce for a salad. But I didn’t want a vinaigrette…. Read more >

Surprise gift for MEEEEE! Ok, this has been a long time coming and after last weekend (when I used my instant pot 3 times in one day) Kyle and I decided to finally go for it. So now I have upgraded to the 8 QUART instant pot. Meaning I can make huge batches of stuff that will last longer than 1-2 days. My first trial run was cooking a whole chicken (which I got from our Farm Fresh to You CSA!). Normally I would have to wedge this in and it would be a huge… Read more >
