I’m a wee bit late to the Instant Pot craze. I impulsively bought the 6-quart version on Cyber Monday TWO years ago and it’s been sitting in my garage this whole time. I wasn’t convinced that I needed another appliance in my tiny kitchen, especially since we don’t cook/eat a lot of meat and that’s […]

  True story: Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday; it’s all about food, friends and family. It’s a time to celebrate the people you’re thankful for and reflect on the things that bring joy to our lives. This year, I’m feeling extra grateful for my family—especially with Baby Owen in our lives now—and friends, […]

  Just as I’m mourning the end of peach season, the scent of passion fruit perfumes the air. Ahh, yes. A delicious hug from nature. Here I go waxing poetic about fruit again. Sorry!
