We had a big BBQ over the 4th of July weekend and of course, abiding by American standards, I bought a big watermelon. Well actually, I thought I bought a small watermelon, or at least a smallER watermelon, but it was still entirely too much for our party. So, I served half of it in

Apple Almond Muffins
I met an adorable fellow food blogger, Daniela, in the food bloggers group on Facebook, and immediately fell in love with her work because….. well, because the very first post I read of hers had the F word in it, and I knew she was my kind of girl! Ok, ok, ok… also, because, she
Blackout Chocolate Cake
//Pinch of Yum// is one of my biggest food blog inspirations. Sometimes I feel like Lindsay has my voice, like she writes in the exact way I think and talk (but have yet to figured out how to get into printed word). The very first recipe I posted on this blog was a nachos recipe
Beef Bourguignon
Earlier this year, I mentioned in a post that I joined a really inspiring food blogging group on Facebook. This group is full of so much fun and positivity. And, duh, photographic inspiration! Seeing everyone else’s work cuts both ways for me – on the one hand, I feel like I have so much work
The Worst Chocolate Chip Cookies
I had a massive craving for chocolate chip cookies recently, and went off to my Pinterest to see if I could find a recipe for one that wouldn’t necessarily require me to go out and buy anything special. With chocolate chip cookies, I am partial to soft cookies – I am not much a fan

So it’s sort of time for me to come clean about something, and that something has directly lead to the development of this smoothie recipe, so here goes. Back in May I woke up in the middle of the night one night with incredibly severe knee pain in my right knee. I was laying in
Mexican Street Corn Dip
I mentioned in my post for Mexican Street Corn Tostadas a couple weeks back that I was pretty inspired by that recipe and made a corn dip….thing. Is it weird that I think the words “corn dip” just don’t jive together? I don’t know why. It sounds pretty redneck. Y’ALL COME FETCH YA SOME CORN
French Potato Salad
As an “Irish” girl, I LOVE potatoes. I mean, L O V E them. I could eat them with every meal of every day. Potatoes all the ways. Hot, fried, boiled, baked, smothered in butter, smothered in sauces, //smothered in balsamic//; Cold, covered in mayo, mixed with bacon and scallions… Potatoes. All. The. Ways. So
