Growing up, I was definitely that typical “vegetable soup…YUCK” kind of kid. Tell me it’s cabbage soup, and I would’ve thought you’d grown three heads. It’s really funny how our taste buds change over the years and recipes form. I visited my friend, Brandy, one night for dinner. She was looking for gluten-free and dairy-free […]
I love Asian food… especially rice, chicken, and a good sauce! I could eat at hibachi grills 3 times a week and be perfectly content in my belly. However, my wallet would disagree. I found a similar recipe to Teriyaki Chicken bowls forever ago, and over the year I have been slowly tweaking and editing […]
Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse Yes, it is as weird as it sounds. But yall, it is so delicious and guilt-free! I tried this a couple of years ago when my cousin made it for me! I couldn’t believe she used avocados–it had the consistency of a legit pudding/mousse! You have to try this + share […]
This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our home with our new farmhouse table! I was pretty excited to be able to fit everyone at one table + be able to cook all the scrumptious sides! I then added a twist to my planning: I was on a mission this Thanksgiving to create a really fun […]
Fall … The air is crisp. Fall candles are lit. The house is decorated. You have a fresh mug of coffee. You can hear the leaves crunch outside. And you smell the fresh baked goods in the oven. This is my idea of a perfect fall day. I asked my Insta buddies over on the […]
I can smell fall in the air. Okay, maybe that’s just my fall candles. It is still hot down here in Florida, but that doesn’t mean I can’t pretend, right? Over on the Gram, a ton of yall have voted for recipes for fall. So I set out to wrangle up all of my favorite […]
Why do I love to do so many things homemade? Generally because it’s more affordable, but also because I can control what goes into the product. Typically when I make homemade cleaners, it falls into both categories affordable + control. *This post does have affiliated links. By you purchasing through these links, I receive a […]
Is there a recipe your mom made when you were growing up that is just nostalgic for you? That’s this squash casserole for me! My mama made this super easy dish to help us be able to enjoy the taste of squash that none of us had much of a liking for. Now, I love […]
Eggs are not my favorite food. I actually used to hate them, and I rarely ever eat them plain. Anybody else with me on this one?! But, I know eggs are better for you than cereal, so alas, I cook the eggs. I typically try to hide the eggs flavor with loads of sauteed veggies […]
Easy Side Item that is a Total Crowd Pleaser!
Need a quick appetizer (or even meal replacement) that includes veggies but is still delightful? Yall gotta try out this quick and delicious fix: homemade avocado hummus. My MIL, Cheryl, started making this a couple of years ago, and my sister and I hopped on that bandwagon so fast. This recipe is simple and arguably […]
Has anybody ever had the Tomato Caprese with Fresh Burrata from Carrabba’s? I am so obsessed with it. My teacher friends and I would hit up Carrabba’s for their stellar happy hour, which always included half off of the apps. I love the fresh burrata cheese that they use for their tomato caprese. It is […]
I have never been a huge oatmeal fan. I didn’t grow up eating oatmeal, and I never was really aware of the huge benefits of eating oats either. When I posted my recipe for a fast and easy breakfast parfait (which included old-fashioned, uncooked oats), I had several people ask me if I had tried […]

I love strawberries. Strawberries with whipped cream, over an angel food cake, cheese cake, a strawberry shake, strawberry ice cream… okay those are all desserts–busted. But I really do love anything with strawberries! I use strawberries in cereal, smoothies, breakfast parfaits (if you need a stellar recipe for that, click here!), kombucha, and of course […]
Yall might remember that I have been on the hunt for breakfast recipes forever! I struggled and struggled to find a breakfast that I really enjoy (blasphemy, I know!) that is also healthy. *This post does have affiliated links.

Who doesn’t love eating fresh bruschetta? I know I can never pass that up! But for some of us who have made low carb goals or are gluten intolerant, bruschetta is a sad thing to give up! I recently came across a recipe from Whitney Bond, and had to try it! Bruschetta Chicken Zoodles is […]
There is almost nothing better than a good beer, good homemade chili, and a beautiful fall day. Now that we are living in Florida, our experience of fall has changed a bit. It takes a while for it to get “cold.” We have our Christmas tree up with all of the windows open, and AC […]
