Well friends, it seems like fall is finally here. The crisp morning air, the overcast skies, and slowly but surely decreasing daylight hours. This time of year always leaves me craving something rich, juicy, and comforting. And that something is pork. I didn’t truly...

Growing up, my diet consisted almost entirely Greek food. It was delicious and well-prepared and I was incredibly lucky to have two parents who were both very gifted in the kitchen, but it was a pretty sheltered diet that at times left me in...

I made this cake a few weeks ago for a celebration. A celebration of something I’ve wanted and worked towards for a very, very, very long time. My dearest friends, I am writing a cookbook! And I could not be more ecstatic about it!!...

Heirloom tomatoes used to be very difficult to find outside of niche farmer’s markets, but with each passing year more and more of them are finding their way into large national supermarkets. Like apples, each heirloom tomato variety has its own unique taste, texture,...

  Life’s been a bit crazy ’round here lately. We just got the quote for the countertops that I fell in love with in for the kitchen remodel and it was waaaaay more than what I was expecting. So now we’re kinda sorta maybe...

  Those of you who follow me on instagram know that I’ve been hinting about a gathering I’ve had in the works for a couple months now, and today I finally get to share it with you. Myself and Carey Nershi of Reclaiming Provincial...

The past week has been filled with a flurry of activity. Organizing, coordinating, writing, cooking, shooting, repeat. I’ve been spending these toasty summer nights relaxing with either a popsicle, cocktail, or mircrobrew in hand to help wind down after the long days (and I...

Work on the new house is progressing slowly but surely, the archway we wanted to take down in the kitchen is now officially gone and I’ve managed to get most of the plants in the ground that were biding their time on my patio....
