Summer is coming!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I just planted out garden and we are super excited! We only have a tiny little amount of space on our back patio, so we filled it with herbs, a bunch of varieties of peppers, and a couple strawberry plants. Last year we had planted a bunch of tomatoes,…

St. Patrick’s Day Green Pesto Sauce
I love the color green. Green means life. Green means spring. Green means leprechauns. When I was little I totally believed in leprechauns. At recess every March, I would search the playground for signs of the little guys. Every time I would find a little bit of something green, like a bottle cap or a…
Mandrakes (Baked Potato Chips)
Once I was at my mother in-law’s house and she was baking thin slices of sweet potatoes. They looked and smelled so good. I think they lasted about 10 seconds. Ever since then, these thinly sliced potatoes baked with a little bit of salt has been a family favorite in our house. They have been…
Chickpea Veggie Soup with Smoked Paprika (GIVEAWAY!!!)
I know most foodie bloggers are posting super bowl recipes right now, but most super bowl recipes are heavy, fatty, and greasy.

Candied Yams
This is one of my Thanksgiving favorites! I always serve it with the main course even though it is as yummy and sweet as a dessert. This is something that I like now that my taste buds have matured a little bit. When I was young I thought they were disgusting. I never actually…
Thanksgiving: Roasted Garlic and Cheddar Mashed Potatoes
As most of you probably know, I am from the land of potatoes. Idaho. Up through high school I always got 2 weeks off from school in October for “Spud Harvest.” Those who were old enough would find temporary work from a spud farmer and help bring in the potatoes. I never helped with the…
