I had nearly given up on attempting to make beef stew. There had been too many days dreaming of tender, fall apart, beef stew that ended in yet another sad dinner of tough beef, an unimpressive combination of vegetables and broth, and a heavy side of disappointment.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Summer days are hot and long and I am grabbing quick bites of fresh produce before I head back to the pool or meet up with friends to enjoy the comfortable summer evenings, long into the night. But there’s something about the fall season that pulls me back to the kitchen every year. Maybe it’s […]
Chicken Curry
I have India to thank for my love of food and creativity in the kitchen. Four years ago I had the incredible opportunity to travel to India and serve the communities there for a month. That time was life changing for me in many ways. I had never experienced a culture like that before – […]

Sticking to Whole30-approved ingredients revealed to me how much I allowed to slip through the cracks of my “healthy” diet. It was wounding to my pride and frustrating […]
Whole30 Berry Crumble
This berry crumble screams both summer and autumn – my two favorite seasons. The combination of warm and toasty roasted pecan, almond, and spiced crumble topping with the juicy and bright summer berries makes the perfect segue from summer to fall. Naturally sweet berries and salty spiced topping is another reason why this sweet & […]
Fresh Summer Pico De Gallo
There is nothing better than good Pico De Gallo. In the spring, I was already dreaming of the fresh, sun-kissed garden tomatoes and jalapeños, and snappy green onions summer gifts us each year. I prepped and planted my very own salsa garden so I could make Pico De Gallo for my friends, family, and anyone who […]
