I love potatoes. They are my downfall in any shape or form. Hashbrowns, roasted potato wedges, creamy mashed potatoes, gratins…I love it all. I consumed way to many potatoes over the holiday. We are back on the low carb bandwagon for the foreseeable future. That won’t stop me from making these two-bite Rustic Roasted Potato Canapés…

Shaved Asparagus Salad
Springtime is just around the corner. Which means asparagus season is also just around the corner. This makes me super excited. I tend to go on an all-things-asparagus binge for a week or so in late February, but I decided to start early. We had some out of town guests over shortly after Christmas. Our…

Cranberry Pomegranate Moscow Mules
Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I can’t believe it. We are test-run cooking a turkey this week. The hubs spatchcocked and dry-brined the turkey last night. Fingers crossed it turns out well. We will be eating turkey for weeks! Our family is hosting a small group for Thanksgiving. Small or large groups alike, spice…
Herbed Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Goldew Peppers
It was hot here this week! What the heck happened? Oh wait, I live in Texas. The most fickle-climate place ever. The weather teased us with lows in the 30’s and 40’s for three days. Now we are back to highs in the mid 80’s and lows in the 70’s. Fall weather, where did you…

Roasted Potatoes with Fried Eggs and Chimichurri
Saturday date breakfast at home is one of my favorite weekend things. Saturdays are even better when you can sleep in, snuggle in bed, have a late-morning cup of coffee, and eat a filling and flavorful breakfast (though this is rarely the case in our household). Lazy Saturday or not, I am in LOVE with…
Simple Raspberry Coulis Sauce
Life post-Harvey is finally getting back to normal (for us at least). Despite having Labor Day off last week, Jonathan and I had a fairly normal week. Work life was normal, we saw friends this weekend, and are finally back on our healthy eating bandwagon. When you’re cooped up in the house for five days…
Low Carb Pumpkin Coconut Cream Panna Cotta
It’s finally here! September officially means it’s pumpkin season. Tis the season of pumpkins, cinnamon, cloves, squash and root vegetables. Also boots, scarves and crisp fall days. I probably have to wait until November to feel a crisp fall day in Houston, but I can wait. As long as it gets here. I made my…
