This soup just kept getting better and better all week! 🥣


Hey friends❣️

A new soup to add to your fall rotation today ~ this simple Tuscan inspired soup was a hit with everybody, most notably the youngest picky eater in our crowd and my husband who "doesn't care for bacon."

It's delicious and somehow gets even better with age, which is really nice if you're only cooking for 2.

White Bean & Bacon Soup

Notes: I used dried beans and thought it really made a difference over canned, they held together nicely and never got mushy.

Also fresh sage ~ so subtle and pretty. Just throw a couple of whole sprigs into the soup as it cooks, then use as a garnish.

This super easy homemade pizza dough launched a regular pizza party tradition at our house.


I created this recipe out of frustration with the minuscule servings we'd get from our favorite Mediterranean take-out restaurant!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

thin and crispy cookies

Hey friends❣️ The end of daylight saving time hits everybody a little differently. All the years I lived in sunny SoCal I welcomed that rare sense of coziness into my life.
