Hi and welcome!

I might be a tiny bit obsessed with food. So, I started this site to share the recipes that feed that obsession. I believe nourishing, delicious food for the whole family is an attainable goal if we work together. Thanks for stopping by! Dig deeper →

My Grammy was the kind of southern woman who was a

My Grammy was the kind of southern woman who was a force of nature - equal parts wild, unpredictable, and mundane. The eighth anniversary of her passing was a couple days ago, and happened to coincide with the unsolicited delivery of a massive crookneck squash on our front porch.

After 4 sons and 2 grandsons, I was “her” girl. As a baby she proclaimed I “looked just like one of [hers]”, which had the distinct pleasure of also getting a rise out of my mother (her daughter-in-law).

It just felt destined to become braised summer squash with onions from @tonitiptonmartin “Jubilee”. The first time I saw it I was immediately sent back to the ritz-cracker topped squash casserole of Grammy’s supper table, which she always called “squatch” (to my “California” chagrin).

What I would give to have another helping of that buttery, soft, and insanely delicious casserole. This will have to do.

I like to to think she’d be secretly happy my babies are boys (she did raise four of her own, after all). She would definitely be happy I didn’t let a squatch go to waste.

Feels like all my Griffin-mama time lately is spent at the doctor...hopefully his ear tubes follow up today is the last for a while. Maybe he and I will go on one of our trademark “treat walks” this weekend.

I’ve been holding out on you... one because I ate this salmon nicoise like 2 weeks ago, and 2 because I’ve been MIA for like a month. Just know that we made blackberry ice cream, ate so many salads, and I miss you. But the big girl job calls (and actually pays me $) so I had to answer.

Been trying to just snap pictures of dinner a little more often- last night was chicken piccata (used the @testkitchen recipe which is simple and perfect) with broccoli and pasta for the boys, garlic cauli mash for yours truly. It’s always a clean plate club kind of night.

Raspberry-jalapeño hand pies are LIVE ON MY WEBSI

Raspberry-jalapeño hand pies are LIVE ON MY WEBSITE! Did I mention that I built a website and she’s gorgeous? Still working on some final touches but I’m very proud of her. Help me celebrate by checking it out and making these hand pies while you’re at it. (They’re extra delicious toasted over a campfire, if you were curious).

Every family has a go-to meal. One thats easy and

Every family has a go-to meal. One thats easy and borderline brainless and that the kids will actually eat (I’m looking at you, spaghetti). For us, it’s chicken fingers + salad. Often this takes the form of frozen chicken fingers (@caulipower makes some great ones) and bagged salad, but tonight I stepped it up a bit with the chicken fingers salad from @nocrumbsleft cookbook and Oh Em Gee y’all the 3-year-old ate 4 chicken fingers. And a bunch of cucumbers and peppers and avocado and I can die happy because at least one balanced meal will be eaten this week. (Also: I’ve made my share of almond flour chicken fingers but these are definitely the best I’ve made. We’re really loving Teri’s cookbook- it’s worth checking out!)

Let’s just HYPOTHETICALLY say that bang bang shr

Let’s just HYPOTHETICALLY say that bang bang shrimp and California rolls went on a vacation to Costa Rica- would it look like this? Sushi rice, avocado, cucumber, carrots, and surimi crab + nori with mango and topped with bang bang shrimp. Then promptly devoured. Repeat until the heat wave ends. (I followed @iheartumami.ny bang bang shrimp method and it is EXCELLENT. Check it out if you want a light batter that’s crispy and never heavy)

Gonna use one of these bad boys to bribe my children to sit through an at-home haircut today... (s’mores brownies- thin graham cracker crust, @mikebakesnyc fudge brownie, marshmallows, more graham crust, crumbled crackers, choc chips, and more mallows. Over the top in the best way possible)

Headed into the weekend like 🥧🥧🥧...

What’s on the menu this weekend??? I’m hoping to finally make the pork chops in lemon-caper sauce from @tonitiptonmartin ‘s “Jubilee” and probably a batch of raspberry jalapeño jelly for future hand pies. Because we’re gonna need these long after raspberry season ends.
