Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread | Football Fridays

October 12, 2012

Fall is my most favorite season of the year. I love just about everything that come with this season: the chill in the air, sweaters and jackets getting pulled out of the closet, college football and leaves changing color. The only thing that could possibly make it better would be if summer fruits were still [...]

5 Ingredient Italian Pasta Salad | Football Fridays

October 5, 2012

We’re nearing the due date for Little C and a combination of exhaustion and mommy brain has the best of me. Things are ready for the baby’s arrival, the nursery is organized, the car seat is installed and the hospital bags are packed. So, I’m spending the majority of my days taking advantage of the [...]

Low Country Boil and a Le Creuset Giveaway {closed}

August 10, 2012

The low country boil remains one of my most favorite summertime dinner party and cookout dishes. It’s simple, it’s quick and it brings people together. I mean, you’re all eating from the same goodness piled up on newspapers in the middle of the table. I was introduced to the low country boil in Auburn, Alabama. [...]

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies {football fridays}

October 14, 2011

Whoopie pies seem to be popping up everywhere now, and after having one of West Egg Cafe’s amazing red velvet whoopie pies, I haven’t been able to get them out of my mind. With such a fun name, I wondered where whoopie pies got them namesake… so, I did a little research: “According to food [...]

Pumpkin Tofu Chili {football fridays}

September 30, 2011

The weather in Georgia is finally starting to cool down. In the mornings it is 65 degrees outside, so our patio has become my current office space. Aside from the children playing in the school playground a few blocks away and the occasional sounds of a garbage truck, it is a pretty perfect place to [...]

Vegetarian Meatballs {football fridays}

September 23, 2011

Back when I used to eat beef, one of my more favorite things to eat were meatballs. I just really enjoyed having them with my spaghetti. Now that I don’t eat red meat anymore, I really don’t miss it at all aside from my occasional cravings for.. meatballs. I thought it was high time I [...]

Sea Salt Caramel Rice Krispie Treats {football fridays}

September 16, 2011

I hope you all are having a great Friday! We are in Orlando right now on a spur of the moment vacation. Today, we’re going to be exploring Harry Potter World at Islands of Adventure. I’m looking forward to trying some butter beer and exploring the Honeydukes Sweetshop. What can I say? We’re nerds and [...]

Fried Green Tomatoes with Gutherie’s Sauce {football fridays}

September 9, 2011

In the South, football is a religion. I both look forward to and dread the fall season. Fall means cooler weather, which after the hot and humid Southern summers, feels glorious. It means the end of summer produce and the return of fall flavors: pumpkin muffins, butternut squash and apple pie. But it also means [...]

Asian Barbecue Tofu Sandwich: My Vegetarian Cure for BBQ Cravings

August 18, 2011

Recently, Paul has been having these crazy BBQ cravings. I wish I knew why. On those evenings when I’m just too worn out to make dinner, I will ask the dreaded question: “So, what do you want for dinner?” If we lived closer to the center of Atlanta, that question would be easily answered with [...]

Low Country Boil | A Confession and an Update

May 31, 2011

In October 2010, I made the decision to stick to a vegetarian diet. The reasons were two fold: the horrid situations at factory farms and I just felt healthier when I was on a vegetarian diet. However in the recent months I have started to eat seafood again. Although having seafood is still a relatively [...]
