i am not a huge salad person. yeah, i know i’m a girl and so i should order salads all the time and think they’re awesome and be like “oh, all i want is a salad”. but honestly, i’d rather have a steak. and bring me some A1 sauce. but there are a few exceptions…

green chile strata
a good friend of mine makes this incredible strata. every time we hang out over at her house, i am always requesting she make it. it’s the recipe of a cousin’s brother’s mom’s best friends’ daughter’s sister (or something like that) and i was lucky enough to get a copy of the recipe. my copy…
pear & granola crisp muffins
i love a good muffin. especially this week, when we have been waking up late and rushing about, trying to get out of the house quickly. i haven’t been much in the mood to scramble the eggs, toast the bread, and butter it. and jelly it. and cut it into quarters for the precious, picky three year…
fresh homemade banana bread
this past summer i posted a lovely spiced banana bread recipe – it is a fantastic recipe, very different from your everyday banana bread, with ginger and other spices to change it up a little. the rebel in me (and my mouth) loves that! now i want to introduce another banana bread recipe.. it is more…
a few football season favorites
sometimes i consider myself more of a basketball girl ever since i married a hoops guy, but when football season rolls around – COLLEGE football season, of course – i get super excited. i love the change in weather, the dinner parties we host to watch games, and most of all, the comforting foods. fall…
central market’s kale, pepita, and cranberry salad
kale isn’t one of those things where i go “OH KALE?! i love kale!” i mean, in the last few years i have been on my way there. almost;) ultimately my goal is to be more like my mom, who has a shirt that just says KALE (like YALE, get it?). #wholefoodsnerd well, one fine…
my favorite chocolate chip cookies
as every normal american girl, my life has been a quest. a quest to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie. it’s not something i daily think about per se, but in the back of my mind, almost subconsciously, i have always been searching for my favorite. as someone who likes to cook, i have tried…
vanilla & cinnamon extracts – make your own
i am personally not a huge DIY-er. i am not crafty, as as much as my mom sweetly says “honey you can do it”, i honestly have no desire to be. if my husband were a part of this conversation, he would tell you the infamous first-year-of-marriage farm table story, where i begged him to…
white wedding cake cupcakes with blackberry buttercream
my closest girlfriends and i threw a little baby shower for our dear friend this last weekend. the nursery colors are white, grey, and pale violet and so we decided to use the same theme for the shower. i was assigned the task (ok, so i begged for it) of the main dessert for the…
spiced banana bread
you know when you go to a restaurant and they have a house wine? or a house sourdough bread? those places have found the best, their favorite variation or recipe that they have adopted as their “house” drink, or their “house” bread. well, i want to start sharing my “house” recipes – basic recipes that…
brown butter vanilla salted rice krispy treats
you may notice there’s a new look ’round here. i have been wanting to revamp she likes to eat for a while and i thought no better time than to celebrate my second “blogiversary”, which i will proudly celebrate in july. probably by myself. with one, or four, of these – my new pride &…
perfect whipped cream
i could have posted this recipe in the “cooking tips” section, it being such a simple & common kitchen basic. but this is the best whipped cream i have made and, like the reason for my starting this blog, i want to shout it from the rooftops. dance about it. make sure you all know about…
