It’s pretty hard to believe that it is August! The summer really flew by. I know we’re technically still in the summer season, but we’re in that transition time. People are talking about their kids going back to school. Grant keeps talking about football and is literally watching games from last year in anticipation ofRead more
Summer came in hot this year – literally!! Okay, that was super lame, but it really did start hitting the 90s mid-May, which is pretty early for that intense heat. I have found that I am a “temperature person” when it comes to eating. You know how some people are picky eaters when it comesRead more
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog! I don’t like using “busy” as an excuse for anything really. But sometimes other things just take precedence over posting a blog. I’ve been doing a good bit of traveling, for work and play. And today I just got back from Grande Isle, Louisiana. IRead more
Here’s a question for you. How do you spell coleslaw? One word or two? I think it looks better as one, but Google says you can spell it both ways. So feel free to spell it whichever way you think looks best! This recipe is a loose variation of my mom’s recipe. My dad mayRead more
My first Expo West 2018 was a couple weekends ago, and it was a successful, exhausting, eventful, and terrific whirlwind of four days.

This year thereRead more
I love honey mustard. Always have. In high school we had a salad bar, and the three dressings I remember were Italian dressing (disgusting – in what way is this dressing Italian? I’ll never understand), ranch dressing (the taste or appearance never really did it for me), and honey mustard. I knew the honey mustardRead more
This recipe was inspired by the broccoli salad that they serve in delis at grocery stores. You know what I’m talking about. It’s full of mayo and raisins and magic. This is a slightly healthier version of that salad, but it still tastes amazing. This salad could stand alone as a lunch, maybe topped withRead more
It’s Super Bowl Sunday! This game means nothing to me, but I am very into the gameday eats. And commercials. And I can’t wait to see JT at halftime! Grant and I went to Rouses this morning and got our groceries for the game and the week. It was a madhouse. I guess everyone isRead more
2018 came with a lot of change right off the bat. The biggest change was moving to a new apartment in a different part of New Orleans with my guy. And as they say, change is not always easy. And in this situation, it was the hardest. Let me paint this picture for you: it’sRead more
This recipe was inspired by my co-worker. She’s a busy mom and always brings pre-packaged lunches from Costco. There’s a line of vacuum-sealed meals called Perfect Fit meals that she ate for a month. Then she got sick of those are started bringing this burrito bowl in a round 10 oz plastic container. She’s beenRead more
