I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to share my recipe for shakshuka, since it’s a staple in our home, one we make a few times a month, for breakfast and, most often, for dinner. I’m sure you must know about shakshuka, right? Ottolenghi made the dish famous in 2012 with the publication of…
Did you follow along with last week’s meal plan? I hope you’re finding these helpful! Sometimes the hardest part of making dinner is deciding what to have, so I’m enjoying creating these meal plans each week. Throughout the week, I’m tagging recipes I see, or leafing through cookbooks to see the pages I’ve bookmarked, both…

Obviously, some weeks, this just didn’t get done. But, as a former (and by that,…
My word for this year is ACTION. Because sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in dreams and planning and the day-to-day activities of life and never actually take action. In the past, I’ve had a hard time posting regularly because I needed every post to be perfect. And that’s why I have so many…
Welcome to my new website! This project has been many months in the works, to create a website with a new look, feel and navigation that matches my goals for this year and the years to come. If you’re new here, you might start here to learn a little more about me. Or here, to…
