So you made the One Pot Gingery Chicken and Rice and unless you added more chicken to the pot (which you can totally do!) you most likely will have a boatload of leftover rice. Seeing I had ground turkey in the fridge, I decided to make Asian meatballs to go with my leftover Asian inspired rice. Holy …
The potted basil we planted a few months ago on our balcony is going crazy! Whatever shall I do? Why, make pesto, of course! Pesto is a versatile sauce that can be put on almost anything! Veggies, chicken, pasta, pizza, get pesto creative! We had a meatless Monday last week with roasted veggies (drizzle chopped …
The Nashville Farmer’s Market is another reason why I love my ‘hood. I went there yesterday in search of strawberries and blueberries for our morning smoothies, but instead found juicy Georgia peaches and blackberries so plump and huge that I bought them instead. Also, there were no strawberries or blueberries to be found. Where are …
Last month I had the immense pleasure of meeting thee famous Jeni Britton Bauer, the NY Times best selling author of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home and proprietor of several “Jeni’s” ice cream stores. If you haven’t had Jeni’s ice cream and don’t live in Ohio or Tennessee, then fear not, you can make it …
We hosted supper club last night and cooked a Persian feast! (Note: The Hub’s family probably would have thought what we made was just a warm up to the feast, because the last Persian dinner I ate at Auntie F’s house consisted of 5 different proteins!!!) Although we only served 2 proteins last night, I’d …

Holding book club outdoors was a risky move, as mid June in Tennessee is typically a scorcher. I’ll never forget upon first moving here how astounded I was when the temp didn’t drop after …
You know the commercial where the lady takes the salsa from the fridge and swirls water in it to drink every last drop? I am that lady. Well, not really, but I have drank my own salsa – completely sober too! Whilst grilling on vacation over the past couple of weeks, I came up with …
Berry tart – summery, light, and delicious. This is my new favorite “go-to” dessert to bring along as a dinner party contribution. It is sooo simple to make and tastes delicious, like summer in on a plate. The bright berry colors are so visually pleasing. My mom made this for her book club and the …
I use greek yogurt in this recipe, so everyone can feel better about eating cookies, yay! Moist on the inside, salty and crispy on the outside, with just a hint of heat from a pinch of cayenne; this cookie pleases sweet, salty, spicy, crunchy, and chocolate lovers alike. Yields 2 dozen cookies so you might …
My mother is a salmon-lover. You do not have to ask her what she’ll be ordering in a restaurant because 9 times out of 10, (shocker), it’s the salmon. Broiled, baked, or grilled, she loves all salmon. Up until I tried this recipe for the hubs, I did not eat salmon. Too fishy (insert wrinkled nose …
