May 29, 2012

So I admit it: I haven’t liked salads really until recently, and I’d be lying if I said the ‘recently’ part of that statement wasn’t due to losing some of the baby weight.

Chewy Chocolate Pecan Cookies

May 23, 2012

OK so I feel like I should preface this with a heaping cup of honesty: these totally did not turn out how I meant for them to. It’s true, I’ve posted a kitchen fail on here and am going to tell you to go make it. Because sometimes failure tastes like a rich, chewy [...]

Mediterranean Lentil Quinoa Salad

May 22, 2012

I don’t think I’ve ever told y’all this: I have a crazy undying love called kalamata olives. It’s basically out of control, and I love it.
