“Super” Creamy Corn Dip
Kim has us over a while back and made her “Super” Creamy Corn Dip to snack on before dinner. I was instantly addicted and promptly demanded she share her recipe! (So here we are!) The combo of sweet corn, creamy cheese, and that jalapeño kick is just one of those perfect flavor blends. I think…

Grandma’s Traditional Cornbread Dressing
I am so thankful for family recipes that keep tradition and memories alive. This dressing recipe was Grandma Carolyn’s signature Thanksgiving side. Even though she has been gone for almost 5 years, we still have cherished memories of her and recipes like this to remind us of the blessing she was. This is a quick…
Couscous Tabbouleh
Life: Ok guys, don’t judge me but I’ve succumbed. My household is officially playing Pokemon Go. Aiden has begged and begged… And I resisted… barely… for so long. (But, I’m a total sucker, I can deny my children nothing when they ask politely.) We had brunch with a good friend of mine and her kids…
French Lentil Salad
One of my all time favorite food bloggers/writers is David Lebovitz. I first came across his work back when I was obsessively reading memoirs about living in France.

Meat, particularly, sausage, brisket, and a good burger, come in close behind the carbs. And let’s not forget chocolate, chocolate, more chocolate, aaaannnnd pretty much any form of baked…
Green Chile Mac and Cheese
This super duper wonderful recipe for Green Chile Mac and Cheese was actually supposed to get posted ages ago… Like, shortly after I posted my recipes for Colorado Green Chile and Smokey Green Chile.

Sautéed Rainbow Chard with Lemon and Garlic
I’m the kind of person who spends entirely too much time at the grocery store. Actually, I have my main batch of groceries delivered every two weeks. Then I go to the store every other week or so to pick up a few odds and ends, more fresh fruit, and fresh veggies. It’s great having…
Simple Sauté: Zucchini, Spinach, and Toasted Almonds
I’ve been reading a lot lately, in one form or another, about finding balance in life. I’ve avidly made my way through, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your…
Citrus and Spice Carrots with Quinoa
Have you noticed how crazy and prevalent advertising is these days? Especially online. Algorithms, targeted marketing, ads that are supposed to be just what the person look at them has always dreamed of. I know this is something that people are widely horrified by; but I’ve gotta admit it doesn’t really bother me. Yes, like…
