Another Post About Kale
The internet doesn’t need more kale recipes. I almost didn’t post this for that very reason, but then my husband reminded me the internet wouldn’t exist without unnecessary and redundant information. And I’m not posting kale recipes because it’s trendy. I’m posting kale recipes because it’s all I grew this summer so it’s all we…

First Birthday Fun
I’ve never made pin tucks. I’ve never made button holes. In fact, I tend to steer clear of anything the least bit fussy. But when I was looking for a dress pattern to make for my niece for her first birthday, I landed on the Family Reunion dress from Oliver + S and kind of…

Maple Syrup Lemonade
It was recently Lemonade Day in Indianapolis, and as I went about my Saturday I saw stands everywhere with kids selling drinks to groups of people supporting these young entrepreneurs. I really wanted to go support them too, but I still haven’t reintroduced anything to my diet that I don’t make myself. It’s totally possible…

Coconut Rasberry Cheesecake
Whelp. I have good news and bad news (and really, the bad news is just for me. This post is all delicious goodness for you guys). I discovered an amazing dessert recipe (It’s on the autoimmune protocol diet too! More on why I’m temporarily following this diet here). And even though coconuts are fairly benign…

Just the Basics

I used to work in an office building in downtown Indianapolis, nestled among restaurants and coffee shops. Nordstrom Café was on one side of me and the Omni Severin coffee and sweets counter was on the other. I usually grabbed a coffee and a muffin from one of these places before getting settled in each…

Real Pumpkin Pie
For me pumpkin pie has always fallen to the bottom of the list of things I desire. It’s kind of mushy and bland, as though the pumpkin has gone straight from a can and into the pie crust. It’s always something I skip over at holidays because there is ultimately a showier dessert that grabs…

Fall Fruits
Recently we found we had an overabundance of fall fruits and veggies and so I spent a full day in the kitchen peeling apples, slicing pears and prepping veggies for the coming week. I think there is nothing more beautiful (and delicious) than fall fruits. And there may be nothing more relaxing than spending time…

Zucchini Noodles
I loath zucchini. Or rather, I should say I always had and thought I always would loath it, but that’s no longer the case. My aversion to its slimy texture and lackluster flavor has been reversed by simply sauteing my former vegetable enemy. Suddenly I’ve discovered I actually am harboring some love for zucchini. Regan…
