Ya, ya grill ya, ya, ya grill

I loved that song in 7th grade. Classic Nelly. My husband got that stuck in my head. Anyway, back to grillz. The cooking type that is. I want everyone to be prepared for what is about to happen. GRILL SEASON. Us folk in Michigan were spoiled with 70+ degree weather and full blown sunshine over the weekend.ContinueContinue reading “Ya, ya grill ya, ya, ya grill”

Meatless Monday in Minutes

Monday’s are hard, but dinner doesn’t have to be. The last thing I want to do on Monday night is make dinner…and I love cooking.

Ketogenic Diet

Pizza is my favorite food. I don’t believe it needs much more explanation than that. I personally like making my own much better than buying them. I tend to like obscure things that I can’t find at most pizza places. Fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, fresh herbs, alternative sauces, nuts and seeds…literally I want to putContinueContinue reading “Forever & Always –Pizza”

Time to get vocal about shopping local.

I recently filmed a segment in collaboration with the sous chef I work with at one of our local farmers’ markets. We got to hang out with some Michigan farmers and discuss how important it is to shop local from an environmental, economical, and health perspective. The farmers market can honestly be overwhelming. Especially onContinueContinue reading “Time to get vocal about shopping local.”

You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey

Sorry for the lapse in posting. I recently finished up with my summer grad school classes and celebrated by traveling and trying to stay as “off the grid” as possible. For those that follow me on Instagram might have noticed some pictures from Nashville pop up. I spent about a week there and it was absolutelyContinueContinue reading “You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey”
