I love traditions. I love eating the same thing on my birthday every year, posing for the same photo with my brother every Christmas, and watching the same movie every year at the first hint of fall (so I can hear my favorite lines in movie history: “Don’t you love New York in the fall? […]
Your heart is going to beat for these beets! Whether you are a first time beet eater or a beet connoisseur, are going to love these red velvet cookies and the beets hiding inside of them. I first developed this recipe years ago. I was in the mood for red velvet but was frustrated that […]
One of my favorite new traditions is turning our home into a coffee shop, where the customers, baristas, and bakers are me and my husband. We decide what time we’ll “go” to the coffee shop (aka, a room in our house), and it really makes us feel like we’re going somewhere special. It’s very easy […]
We developed this tasty and fresh vegetarian fajita recipe out of impatience but it has quickly become a household favorite. My husband brought home a giant container of refried beans from a work function (everyone was too afraid to eat there, thank you COVID). We did not want to mask up to go to the […]

Time for another confession: I’d rather have sweet potato fries than regular French fries any day of the week. […]
Winter is here and soup is on the stove! I wish I could spend every day eating soup, watching it snow, and reading a good book. Soup is the official mascot of winter, right? Ok, snowmen are the true winter mascots, but soup takes a close second. This mushroom barley soup that is energizing and […]
My husband and I are new to the homeowner game and are constantly amazed by how much we don’t know about owning a home. Should we have known to clean the furnace filter? Probably. Did we? No. Long story short, that is how we found ourselves without heat during some very cold days this winter. […]
Blueberries, bananas, chocolate chips…those are the usual suspects when it comes to pancakes. While my husband and I had our 98th discussion about which addition makes the best pancake, I decided it was time to mix it up. Hello, sugar free strawberry pancakes! My college roommate taught me the best pancake recipe. Her dad would […]
If we can’t agree on anything else (and it seems we really can’t), can we at least agree that pizza is the most delicious food? I can’t imagine it not being on someone’s top 5 list. Over here it is #1, especially on Friday nights. There is nothing better than getting home on Friday, high-fiving […]
