Baked Blueberry Zucchini Donuts

August 13, 2017

Zucchini bread is a summer staple here in the heartland of America, but have you thought to use zucchini in your baked donut recipes? I hadn't, until recently, that is. And now I'm here to offer some sound advice: run, don't walk, to your garden, pick a fresh zucchini, and have this recipe at the ...

Sweet + Spicy Yellow Squash Flatbreads

August 7, 2017

It’s hard to get motivated to spend quality time in the kitchen in the summer months. It’s just so much more tempting to spend time outside, doing other things (or dining al fresco at a favorite restaurant!) ...

In the Kitchen with HelloFresh

June 29, 2017

I may fancy myself an alright baker, but I'm definitely not the world's best cook. Far from it, actually. I have a few simple, go-to meals I make on repeat, and I opt to scarf down a bowl of cereal for dinner more often than I'd like to admit. ...

Tortellini En Brodo + Thoughts on Meal Delivery Services

March 24, 2017

We savor a lot of pasta around here, but if I’m being honest, I rarely put much effort into it. Typically, I prepare it according to the directions on the package and toss it in a red or white sauce, or drizzle it with a bit of olive oil and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes and consider it a fancy ...

Winter Salad Inspiration + A Vegan Ranch and Roasted Veggie Salad Recipe

February 23, 2017

I’ve loved salads for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I wasn’t a vegetarian and I certainly wasn’t the healthiest eater, but when a salad was put in front of me, I’d happily polish off the whole thing (especially when drizzled with plenty of ranch!) ...

June starting off strong, reminding me how much my June starting off strong, reminding me how much my soul craves a good summer golden hour. ✨

Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled with sentimental pieces. I’m the daughter, granddaughter, and niece that will gladly take items the family may otherwise get rid of or have tucked away in closets for decades, untouched. The kind of traveler that looks for leaves and shells and rocks to keep in my pockets and carry with me, so I can always hold a piece of where I’ve been. Usually, I have no idea where these things may come to live in my own home, but they always manage to find their perfect places in time.

These shelves alone hold a basket full of stones and shells from around the world, framed high school love letters my grandpa wrote to my grandma in the 1940s, an assortment of found and inherited books, some well more than a century old, and sweet portraits of my great grandparents. 

While I strive to avoid clutter, I do love filling every room with as many meaningful pieces as I can. Because while many things are just things, some are so much more. 🤍
