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.

Spiced Carrot Soup
A recent trip to Costco yielded one of those huge, ten pound bags of carrots. There are two adults in our house...which means that's a lot of carrots. My husband, being very practical and logical, graciously questioned why we needed ten pounds of carrots. I assured him we did - and that none of them would go to waste.
