If the words “stuffed” and “squash” in the title of this dish isn’t sweet music to your ears, then what if I throw in “chorizo” and “queso fresco”? If you’re anything like me, there’s a straight up symphony going on in your head (and maybe your stomach) right now. Whether Texas weather chooses to acknowledge […]
Let’s be real for second… 90% of my meals aren’t as cohesive or pretty as the ones I post on my blog. As a master’s student with a full-time job, commuting, singing at church, maintaining friendships and carving out time to work out and spend time with the Lord, can I get a loud “ain’t […]
This cold front hit Texas just in time for pears and apples to make their debut at Dallas Farmer’s Market this weekend. And when I say cold front, I mean it got below 80 degrees. But nonetheless, I was rejoicing at the hint of crispness in the air. With featuring two of my favorite fruits, […]
Is it just me, or does it feel like we’re in some odd purgatory season between summer and fall? I’m already starting to see pumpkin flavored foods and drinks hit the shelves, but I would probably sweat out cinnamon if I tried drinking a PSL while my dashboard reads 103.

I don’t know about you, but I have been loving zucchini more than usual this summer. It’s such a versatile veggie- add it to any stir fry, make noodles, or hide it in your smoothie for an extra dose of filling fiber. And the best part is, the summer abundance means it’s extra cheap. That’s […]

I’m so excited to learn more about seasonal produce together and bring you the stories behind each vendor at […]
Have you ever tried to lure someone into coming to your party by telling them you were serving canned tuna? I sure hope not. But tell them you’re serving tapenade on crostini, and they may not know what language you’re speaking, but they’ll come if for no other reason but curiosity. You can whip up […]
A Guide to My Second Home(s) Really odd but true fact about me- I LOVE grocery stores. My dad jokes that I might as well have my paycheck direct-deposited to Whole Foods. I credit this to the fact that I grew up with only a Walmart within about 30 miles of where I lived. It […]
This is like my LBD of kale salads. It’s so simple, low-maintenance, and a go-to when I don’t have a lot of time or ingredients. It hits all the right notes- the tangy lemon, sweet apple, spicy ginger, and crunchy kale can turn the hearts of even the most devout kale haters (my roommate is […]
