In case you haven’t figured this out yet, I’m a really picky eater. And as summer has gotten into full swing again, I’ve circled back around to the fact that cookouts are a challenge for me.
I have to tell you about the most delicious thing that ever happened to a pizza: burrata. And caramelized onions. Just a hint of balsamic. Swoon. This is definitely a grown up pizza. (As in, I’m not sharing a slice with Jake, because it’s soo good I want to eat it all by myself. Okay, […]
It’s a snow day, so you know what’s on the menu at my house: grilled cheese and tomato soup. It’s the perfect comfort food! I have so many memories of eating this meal as a child, especially after traipsing around in the snow on a winter day. My mother would stand at the stove and […]
Sarah and I have been making lunches together for quite some time. And yet…we hardly ever make sandwiches. A classic lunch food, completely ignored!

During summer, there is nothing I like better than ripe, fresh tomatoes. I love to walk past a stand of tomatoes in the farmer’s market and just breathe them in…it’s hard to describe what tomatoes smell like, but you know what I mean. They just smell like summer! I tend to eat a lot of […]
I lucked out in the grocery store this week…Harris Teeter had a sale on fresh, wild Alaskan salmon. It was such a beautiful color of bright red that I practically drooled on the glass case. By the way, if you didn’t know that your fish guy will skin the fish for you, I highly suggest […]
