Vegan White Sauce Naan Pizzas

March 3, 2019

I’d like to think I’ve come a long way in the kitchen since graduating college. I no longer live on pasta and cereal (most weeks, anyway!) And I like to experiment often, making dishes from scratch, altering them so they’re vegan-friendly, and so on. ...

Easy Tofu Veggie Scramble

February 12, 2019

If you know me, you know how much I love brunch. And you may also know that I’ve pretty much completely done away with eggs in my diet over the past year or so. So, while I can usually find plenty on the menu for a brunch date, a breakfast scramble or omelet is often missing from my plate. ...

A Month of Vegetarian Meals: September 2018

September 1, 2018

Can we all just take a minute and celebrate the fact that September is here?! September and October are hands down my favorite months of the year, for so many reasons, and after the insanely hot and brutal summer we've had, I couldn't be happier that fall is right around the corner. ...

Vegan Banana Cream Cake

August 29, 2018

Every year, at the start of August, I’ll ask Jeremy what kind of dessert he wants for his birthday. Every year, he replies with, “Let me think about it.” He and his family aren’t too keen on cake, and he’s not a huge fan of sweets (unless it’s ice cream we’re talking about.) ...

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. ✨
A little bang and a little blonde for summer. 🌞 A little bang and a little blonde for summer. 🌞

Thanks to my girl @alissa.serres for always making my hair dreams come true! ✨

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. 🤍
