The Most Delicious Red Chicken Chili

November 28, 2012

Once upon a time I was a self-proclaimed chili snob.  I swore up and down, left and right that I only liked TRUE Texas chili, could only eat it with cheese and Fritos, and anyone who tried to get me to eat something otherwise was just plain silly.   I was such a young crazy [...]

I Painted a Painting

November 27, 2012

Y’all, I have been feeling so crafty lately. Honestly I don’t know why or how – I like being creative, but I haven’t ever had just this burning desire to make something at all times.  Could it be the waning pregnancy/postpartum hormones?  Or the fact that I have a baby now?  Or now I’m staying [...]

Throw a Coffee Party!

Cinnamon Citrus Roasted Parsnips

November 20, 2012

Have you guys ever had parsnips?   I have a feeling that about 110% of you will say yes and confirm the fact that I’ve known for some time: that I’m literally the last person on the planet to ever try these.   But then that’s also kind of a lie.  See, a few years [...]

Lemon Olive Oil Cornmeal Cookies

November 19, 2012

Lately Nate and I have been working on eating well, and I have to say that we’re doing really well:  choosing veggies over simple carbs, eating lean protein and having reasonable portions.  I’m pretty proud of us, but I have to admit that our sweet tooth (sweet teeth?) are still around in full force.
