Feeling the call of fall so I started pulling out all my Autumn- Halloween decor from the basement yesterday. I did. And I have zero regrets !
So ready for the end of the hot, miserable days and jackets and sweaters! The colors of fall foliage,football, delicious food and sweet treats, and the return of hot drinks.
There’s something about pasta in warm weather that gives me serious nostalgia for Italy. I truly think I have a huge travel bug right now and am just enjoying bringing other countries and places to me through the food I cook! I love keeping things simple and using the best ingredients I can get my hands on and I am such a fan of AMORE ‘s Double-Concentrated Tomato Paste !

Just imagine this limited edition beauty accompanying you in all of your life’s adventures— decadent picnics, hiking adventures, cutting fresh herbs from the community garden, sharpening a set of artist's pencils for a mild afternoon of plein air sketching, helping you slice and peel apples, cube avocado , shave off a piece of citrus zest, open letters, and so on.
Read MoreHenry was an absolute dream for a fall photo shoot thanks to his new human grade chicken bites.
We partnered up with Full. Moon Pet again to try their essentials chicken bites and essentials chicken sticks and they are already a favorite. We really love Full Moon Pet because they are USA made and have all natural quality ingredients.
This salad is perfect in late summer, when blackberries are dripping off their stems. And whipped goat cheese and honey-mustard vinaigrette pair perfectly with peppery arugula and sweet vine-ripe fruit.
Read MoreFilleting and grilling a whole fish can seem intimidating, but it’s actually quite simple to do! While testing this delicious Yellowtail Recipe I couldn’t find snapper fillets, but I could find whole snappers.
No problem—filleting a snapper (or any other similar fish) is easy if you follow these steps.
Just be sure to use your sharpest knife, whether it’s a fillet knife or a chef’s knife. I highly recommend the Opinel FORGED 1890 7" FILLET KNIFE for all of your fish recipes.
Read MoreJust think of this as Italian mac and cheese. This is just good old fashioned comfort food that's easy to make and can be the main or accompany a protein. This recipe is super simple and super low maintenance making it perfect for a busy weeknight!

Could this morning view be any sweeter?! Sipping a lovely Rose Earl Grey while daydreaming of France .
And I am so excited because I have partnered with my very favorite tea companies today to give one of you an ultimate tea sampler so you too can have a magical tea experience just like this! This sampler box will allow you to enjoy all the varieties of the Tea Drops line. Each Tea Drop is individually wrapped in a recyclable newly redesigned gift box.
Since I intermittent fast on the weekdays..I really look forward to a pancake breakfast for dinner or as I like to say “BRINNER”.
Eggs or toast can be equally satisfying, but there’s something inherently special about pancakes. And these summery peach hotcakes are super flavorful, especially when you have good peaches from The Farmer’s Market.

Brisket Enchiladas are a spicy comfort food meal that is easy to prepare. Brisket Enchiladas are made with spicy shredded slow-cooked brisket that is rolled up in tortillas with cheese and onions and then topped with red chile sauce and more cheese. Simply irresistible!! Of course you can make them with chicken or ground beef but I find brisket is a little more creative and tasty.
Read MoreThis garlic baked pork tenderloin with italian seasonings and a nice French country salad is one of my favorite summertime dinners! First off, everyone loves pork tenderloin, and this one has just enough interesting and surprising flavors to make it feel dinner party-worthy. I roast mine in the oven but this is a recipe you can throw on the grill too! Pork tenderloin is one of those cuts of meat that is made for serving a crowd too so you could easily scale this recipe up (buy a larger tenderloin) depending on your guest count, then slice it up and arrange on a big gorgeous family-style platter.
Read MoreAs you know, food is a big thing in my life – it is practically my life. One of the undeniably best places to eat in the world is right at home. And for ‘just a home cook like me’ knives hold a special mystery when it comes to chefs and the art of cooking. Knives are the most important and personal part of a chef”s tool kit. So much so that chefs take their knives with them from job-to-job like a photographer would their camera.
With fascination, I’ve watched chefs carefully, lovingly and with respect unwrap their knives from their knife rolls. So captivated by this…always.
Read MoreCelebrating small wins lately by unplugging at a normal hour and doing the things that I love most ! Relaxing in the cool AC escaping the heat listening to my favorite albums with a nice refreshing Vodka Berry Spritz ( the berries are frozen in the ice cubes) in hand .
Steel Dust Vodka is made in Texas and distilled 6x for an impeccably smooth taste . This handcrafted vodka is also gluten free and 100% legendary just like this Smashing Pumpkins album. ( If you know GISH, you know )
Just spent the morning in India- 🇮🇳
But from this cozy chair!
Thanks Atlas Coffee Club ☕️ 🗺 🏤 I do love these coffee adventures we are embarking on together. It was such an easy decision to partner!
