Sweet + Spicy Yellow Squash Flatbreads

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 ...

Veggie Lasagna with Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

September 1, 2016

For years, one of my biggest indulgences has been vegetable lasagna drenched in creamy Alfredo sauce. But considering there are usually several handfuls of cheese tossed in there, too, I know it's not the healthiest way to enjoy a serving of veggies. ...

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. 🤍
