I think it’s pretty clear that I have come down with a serious case of apple fever.
Did you catch my first apple recipe of the season? Did ya? Did ya?! You need to. I’ll stay here while you go check it out.
But you owe it to yourself to come straight back. Healthy Caramel Fudge Apple Slices are imminent. Read More
I know I’m going to make some people angry with this statement, but I seriously dislike pie.
My aversion to this dessert is rooted in my total and complete hatred of crust. I know there are some die-hard crust fans out there that think it’s the best dang part of the dessert. And yes, I know there are some who believe the correct crust recipe can truly make or break a pie.
IMO, crust always breaks pie.
I might have just had some unfortunate run-ins with poorly-executed crusts, but, as of yet, I’m totally convinced that crust is always dry, crumbly, and tasteless.Read More
Ahh, Saturday morning.
Saturday morning is easily my favorite time of the week.
Waking up sans alarm clock, laying in bed until you decide to get up, lazily making a morning cup of tea…Saturday mornings are perfect.
My favorite part? Breakfast.
Not only am I totally convinced that breakfast food as a whole is completely unparalleled in the culinary world, but being able to take my time, sit down, and enjoy the start to my day with my incredible boyfriend?
I’m forever thankful for Saturday mornings.Read More

Who spent yesterday sitting on the couch in their comfy clothes, watching all of the football games, and eating their weight in glorious game day grub?!
*enthusiastically raises hand*
I love football season.
I feel like I’m legally obligated to love the game purely based on my Pittsburgh roots. Pittsburghers eat and breathe Steeler football. The city, with the exception of the bars and restaurants, pretty much shuts down in honor of the black and gold every single Sunday.
And while the game can be incredibly entertaining, I think we can all agree that sometimes the action on the field comes second to the delicious food that accompanies it.
I mean, come on. Fries, pizza, dips, chips…I’m convinced that the game of football is just an excuse to eat all the things.Read More
I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of routines.
I always wake up at 6 AM. I always eat the same breakfast (well, unless this is on the menu). I always drink a cup of green tea in the morning. I always make Mark breakfast.
And, most importantly, we always go to Trader Joe’s on Saturdays.Read More
Ahh, Monday.
No matter how wonderful your weekend was, no matter how relaxed you felt, no matter how much you wish it were longer, Monday always comes. In full force.
Consider this recipe your Monday coping mechanism.Read More
