If you know me, I’ll pretty much eat anything involving tomatoes. I love them! Add in two more of my favorite things – basil and cheese – and you got me. Many times, caprese salad is served with prosciutto on the side or a balsamic […]
FINALLY! Christmas cookie season has arrived. I love baking. It’s so relaxing for me and it’s fun to get creative with decorations. There’s something really satisfying about making a dessert look pretty enough to sit in a bakery window. That’s why I love the holiday […]
If you love sushi but have never tried a poke bowl, you don’t know what you’re missing! Poke bowl places have been popping up around the Triangle for the last few years and I was skeptical at first. Once I tried it, I realized it’s basically […]

If this isn’t Sunday Supper material, I don’t know what is! This chicken is one of the easiest things you can cook for guests and turns out with such amazing flavor, you won’t believe how little effort you had to put in yourself! My favorite part […]
