fresh and fragrant pasta salad
Growing up, I hated pasta salad with a passion. I was not a big fan of mayonnaise, and my only concept of pasta salad was of the creamy, slightly sweet, macaroni variety (I’m sorry, but yuck). These days, however, I’ve found a happy medium; a salad that’s crunchy, creamy, healthy, and insanely delicious, thanks to…

lemon yoghurt cake
Remember how I said we never get snow days? Well, what do you know. We had ANOTHER one yesterday! Unfortunately, I was under the weather, so I did little else besides work from my couch (hence the lack of blog post). But today I’m making up for it with a great, easy recipe that is perfect…

kale, sausage, and white bean soup
Confession: This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but Mondays suck time got the best of me and I didn’t get to it, so here it is today! It’s a pretty good one so hopefully you’ll forgive me ☺ In winter, soup is my ultimate comfort food. Paired with a piece of crusty bread and a sprinkling…

key lime pie
An actual recipe post? Can it be? Last weekend, we were invited to a potluck and, on a whim, I decided to make and bring a homemade key lime pie. With it’s fresh lime flavor, key lime pie just screams ‘spring’ to me and once I got the idea in my head, I couldn’t get…

We are in full ‘the-weather-is-beautiful-and-we-cannot-get-enough-of-it’ mode over here, and after seeing peaches on sale at the grocery store, I didn’t want to do anything else besides go home and make a peach cobbler to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon. I used a slightly…

drake road farmer’s market
I love farmer’s markets (honestly, who doesn’t? Free samples are pretty much my idea of heaven), but, embarrassingly, have never been to one in Fort Collins! Ridiculous, I know. I attribute it to the fact that in grad school I was almost always up late on Friday nights (usually writing a paper, no fun stuff),…

lately
Frozen berries + white wine on a hot afternoon How is it already Thursday? This week has been flying by, in the best of ways. Yesterday we said goodbye to Chase, C’s brother, who stayed with us last week as he is already on summer break and wanted to come meet his new nephew. During his…
