Baked Feta and Tomato Confit
Baked Feta and Tomato Confit Here’s the inside scoop on my all-time favorite meal: it would include tomatoes. There’s a story my mom likes to tell about a family trip to Canada when I was a toddler (which I remember nothing of). As she was making dinner, I ate every single cherry tomato out of…
Weekly Meal Plan // June 21-26
Weeknight Summer Dinners Summer dinners! That means all the peaches, nectarines, berries, zucchini and heirloom tomatoes. On Instagram last week, I posted a photo of my nectarine and burrata crostini and the crowd went wild. I honestly haven’t had that much reaction from a photo in a while, so thank you. I feel seen.

Healthy Texas Caviar
The Best Healthy Texas Caviar Ok, ya’ll (still not used to slipping that in, hello wanna-be Texas girl). Texas caviar is something I had in college or soon after, when one of my real-life-Texas-girl college roommates whipped it up. I was immediately obsessed with the flavor and crunch and all the colors. Salty tortilla chips…

Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk
Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk Homemade vanilla almond milk is about the only kind of almond milk I like. It’s not gummy and thick like most of the store bought varieties.
