Some days I look in the fridge and all I see is a piece of lettuce and a cup of milk. When that happens I can usually root around and find a few ounces of cheese and at least a half of box of noodles which typically means Joe and Marston are getting macaroni and cheese for dinner (not that either of them complain). Here’s my recipe for simple macaroni and cheese from scratch that everyone will love.
The World’s Best Sour Cream Potato Salad
As a recent mayonnaise convert, for years I hated potato salad. A perfectly good potato slathered in mayonnaise did not sound appealing to me. And going to yet another backyard barbecue and only eating a hamburger got old after awhile. Since I knew I liked baked potatoes, I started substituting that for most of the mayonnaise and voila, it was delicious! I’ll eat traditional potato salad now, but this is still my favorite kind to bring to parties. It can be served warm or cold and is always tasty.
Five Summer Salad Recipes You Should Try
A few weeks ago I dubbed it salad week and I shared a number of different salads I love to make as sides or even a main dish, but I wanted to do a wrap up post so they were all in one place and easier to access for future reference. So here you are – five summer salad recipes you should try this summer.
The Best Flank Steak Marinade and How to Grill It
My second youngest sister gets married on Sunday. She is marrying an Irishman, which is appropriate because her whole life she’s played celtic music, dressed up like a fairy and spoke in an Irish accent. Phil is fantastic and we’ve loved getting to know him. When his family arrived this past weekend, we of course had to have the whole crew over for dinner.
And since it was also my birthday (I turned 29 again), we had a feast! I love flank steak, so we threw together a marinade inspired by one of my favorite websites, Cooks Illustrated. It’s the best flank steak marinade in my opinion.
How to Make Your Own Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe
I wasn’t really a mayonnaise person until I went to France. They have a unhealthy relationship with mayonnaise. Practically every restaurant has a shrine to it (as well as one to moutarde). They dip everything in it — steaks, fries, eggs. You heard me eggs. The way we might order spinach artichoke dip, they order hard boiled ouefs with mayonnaise. Which I guess just means they really like eggs, cause really it’s just egg dipped in more eggs. That level of mayonnaise love is a bit much for me. But mayonnaise is still delicious and useful! Here I share my favorite homemade mayonnaise recipe.
June Stitch Fix Review #2
Have you gotten a chance to try out Stitch Fix yet? My second June fix arrived today, so I’m sharing my June Stitch Fix review here.
If you haven’t read my other posts on how Stitch Fix works, here’s a quick recap:
You fill out a lengthy style profile.
You pay $20.
They send you five pieces of clothing.
You keep what you want (with the $20 styling fee credited towards what you keep), return what you don’t (free shipping both ways).
You look fantastic.
Nutella and Banana Stuffed French Toast for Breakfast (or Dessert)
On Father’s Day Joe is king. (He’s king of my world every day, but I do a better job of acting like it on days like Father’s Day and his Birthday). We started the day off with his favorite breakfast — French Toast. And since I was missing Paris, I decided to stuff it with our favorite crepe ingredients – Nutella and bananas. If you like Nutella at all, or chocolate, or french toast, or breakfast, then you will love this recipe of Nutella and Banana Stuffed French Toast.
Eating Healthy and Light in the Summer — Grilled Salmon and Asparagus Salad
Towards the middle of June I tend to realize that if I keep eating hamburgers and pulled pork all summer I’m going to have to buy a new wardrobe by August. And even though I like spending money, Joe would rather save it for boring things like bills (boo hiss).
When that happens I turn to fish and salads (at least for a couple of days until I convince myself that I was never gaining any weight to begin with). Here I share a healthy meal that’s light enough for me, and filling enough for Joe – Grilled Salmon and Asparagus Salad.

Summer Solstice: a Whiskey and Lemonade Summer Cocktail for a Crowd
My favorite thing to do in the summer is to play corn hole and sit on our porch with friends having a drink watching the sun go down. We call it sundowners and we do it every Sunday. Here’s a delicious whiskey and lemonade cocktail that is perfect for sipping on a warm summer’s eve.
