The blog
Writings on food, faith, creativity, and family, all with the goal of helping you nourish your soul.
Welcome to my little home on the Internet! If you were in my actual house, I’d offer you a drink and start raiding the pantry for snacks so we dive into the deep stuff (I’m not great at small talk). My internet home isn’t much different–there’s food to savor and words to mull over about everything from faith to creativity to family.

Pan-Seared Cod with Cilantro-Lime Compound Butter [and a note on feeding kids]
I ate a bowl of leftover cheese crackers for breakfast. I didn’t feel like making food for myself when the kids ate in the morning, but then when 10am rolled around, I couldn’t help but forage for snack leftovers. Then my kids barely touched their lunch, so their cold quesadillas would be mine. No matter. I like their kid food, to be honest, and I don’t want anything to go to waste. But by dinnertime, I’m ready for something a bit more grown up.
Seared Scallops with Lemon-Spinach Pasta
I grew up along the East Coast and I’ll admit, I really miss the ocean. Trips to the beach were a regular part of the summer routine while I was growing up. Sometimes, it was a quick weekend excursion down the shore, but other years it was a vacation in Florida or a road-trip north to the coast of Maine. And of course wherever we were, fresh seafood was a must.
