Crunchy, healthy, oven-baked jicama fries with a homemade balsamic vinegar ketchup. The perfect summer party snack. My top two favorite things to eat in the summer are roasted garden vegetables and french fries. If I could get away with eating fries daily, I probably would. Unfortunately, eating that many potato fries would leave me huge, so I like to roast veggies in the shape of fries ...

Bacon and Chive Cornbread Waffles
I'm in love with these savory Bacon and Chive Cornbread Waffles. In our house, we LOVE waffles. I remember being a little kid and waking up to my dad surprising us with waffles on a Saturday morning. In college, I found a loophole in policy that allowed me to have a waffle iron in my dorm room. Boy did I get popular! One of my dorm hall-mates gifted us with a fancy 4 waffle ...
Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Medallions with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Glaze – My Guest Post Over at Elizabeth Lives!
Today I'm posting a recipe that I shared as a guest on another blog. One of my good friends, Elizabeth, has a lovely lifestyle blog that I mentioned last time in my Tapenade Egg Salad post. She has an incredible closet and is often posting fabulous outfits of the day. I've joked with her about becoming my personal stylist, and she just might come over and put together outfits for ...
Tapenade Egg Salad
If you're like me, you have a lot of Easter eggs left over from last weekend. I've been remixing them into everything and came up with this Tapenade Egg Salad you're all going to love. I know it's been a while since my last blog post, but I've been busy with a huge project at work and haven't had the time to put together a photoshoot. I've also been making a lot of tried and true favorites ...
Eggplant and Olive Tapenade Pizza
This recipe for Eggplant and Olive Tapenade Pizza was born out of one of those empty the fridge nights, but it was so good we've made it over and over since then. Last week I finally shared my Perfect Pizza Dough recipe with you guys and several of you have let me know you loved it (I love getting messages like that!). This week, I want to share one of my favorite ways to top my ...
Perfect Pizza Dough
I have tried to write up this recipe a number of times and it never fails that we either eat the pizza before I can get a photo, or there's not enough daylight left outside to get good photos by the time I get home from work at twilight. To combat this lack of good photo light, I made a pizza at 2 in the afternoon just so I could photograph it. (We ate it later that night, but it wasn't hot ...
Irish Soda Bread
For the longest time, I thought my mom's recipe for Irish Soda Bread was one that had been passed down through her (mostly Irish) side of the family. When I asked her about it this year, I was surprised to find out that it isn't a family recipe. Apparently she picked it up while my dad was in anesthesia school in Kansas City and baked a loaf of this Irish soda bread to share with friends of ...
My Top 5 Go-To Recipes
So I know you're all wondering where I went and why I haven't posted in forever. (Okay really, I've just missed one week, but I'm sure you love me that much right?) Well, the reason I haven't caught up from last week is that I got pretty sick and then I was out of town. I'm in the middle of transitioning from one form of birth control that I've been on for 3 years to another type and it's been ...
Carrot and Raisin Salad
Every Sunday in our house involves zombies. A while ago, we invited a couple friends over for dinner and to watch the Walking Dead on a Sunday night. The simple "post-apocalypse potluck" meal of whatever we had leftover in the fridge has now morphed into a weekly Sunday night event with 8-10 people over for dinner and a watch party each week. We watch it like many people watch football- ...
Crock-Pot Corn Chowder with Parmesan Rind and Pancetta
I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day! Hubby was gone on a business trip all last week, but he made sure to come home on Thursday night so we could spend most of Friday together. I'm still getting in the swing of working again and having dinner on the table, but my slow cooker/Crock-Pot has been helping a lot. (Side note: I know not all "slow cookers" are made by Crock-Pot, but can't we ...
