There are certain days where you know you’re going to need something comforting on deck. Today is one of those days and the sun hasn’t even risen yet. Whenever I know I’m going to be running for the better part of the day, I like to have ingredients on hand to make these Avocado Egg…
Middle Eastern Hummus Recipe
Has someone ever said something about you that made you think, “What the hell?!?!” My soldier did that to me the other day. I stared at him for a good five minutes thinking about whether I should cuss him out, then I remembered, “Jesus is watching.” So I chilled. But I cussed him out in my…
Tahini Sauce in Five Minutes (or Less)
This Tahini Sauce really only takes five minutes to create. Like, I’m not even lying. I mean, not that I usually lie about prep times. That’s not what I do. It’s just so simple and quick, that reading this will take longer than making it. But, I know you’ll still read this because you and I?…
Caramelized Citrus topped Ginger Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Taxes suck. Adulthood sucks too. The flu sucks even more. There’s a lot of things that the world doesn’t tell you about adulthood. I am not like the rest of the world. I’m giving it to you straight. Granted, by now it’s too late because you, more than likely, have already become an adult. The…
Chicken Piccata Fettuccine with Asparagus
Unlike most families, our schoolyear began only this week. As a result, I have two Twinkies who are moping their way through life.

I keep trying to reassure them that their kindles won’t die…
Lavender-Cardamom Lemonade: A Refreshing Spin on a Classic
I’m forbidden from complaining to my Soldier about how hot it is here in Central Texas. It doesn’t matter if it hits 100°F with 75% humidity. According to him, I must “Suck it up and drive on.” That’s how he speaks to me, you guys! Granted, where he’s at it’s reaching 115°F in the shade…at…

Texas is trying to kill me, you guys. I’m so serious. This is like my last will and testament. At my funeral, make sure there’s copious amounts of this Meyer Lemon Curd for my friends and family to partake of to soothe their devastation. The end draws nigh. Between the mutant strain of mountain cedar…
Lemon Semolina Cakettes
Lately, for some odd reason, I’ve been on a lemon kick. It’s weird, because it’s almost as if I’m hanging on to the last vestiges of summer with a death-grip. That’s weird because it’s not like summer has left us! If you weren’t already aware, the summer’s here in Central Texas are not for the faint of…
Blueberry-Lemon Scones
I wrote about scones in my cookbook- taste&see cooks: recipes to inspire, equip & enjoy. shockingly enough, it’s on sale now. Mainly, I wrote about my love for scones and the occasional habit I have of pretending to be a resident of Downton Abbey (Cora) while eating them daintily, pinkie finger protruding and everything. It’s kind…
