Josh and I are back in Nashville, and while New York was absolutely wonderful, I am so thankful to be home. As energizing, adventurous and exciting as traveling is, I’m very much a person of routine, and there is nothing more comforting than to sleep in your own bed and wake up in your own surroundings…

Sweet Potato Gratin
Merry belated Christmas!
I hope Christmas brought you joy and peace, along with rest and time with family and friends! We celebrated Christmas with my family on Christmas Eve and had an absolutely wonderful time. So much to be thankful for. We devoured a lovely feast for dinner. Ham with sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs,salad, bread. Essentially, lots of carb! But somehow it wouldn’t feel right any other way…
Pomegranate Christmas Salad
Christmas is in TWO days! Are you ready??
I’m sure most of you have your meal all planned out, but if you’re looking for a festive salad to add to the feast, consider this Pomegranate Christmas Salad!…
Homemade Holiday Dog Treats + Sweet Potatoes
The Christmas season is often full of indulgence. With Christmas parties, family get-togethers and tasty edible gifts, I’d say most of us get our fair share of holiday treats. So why not allow our four-legged friends a little indulgence as well?…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Acorn Squash and Quinoa
A friend of mine from work recently brought me a beautiful brussels sprout stalk from Trader Joe. Have you seen these? They would be beautiful table centerpieces in a large old wooden trough! He knows I love veggies and picked one up for himself and was thoughtful enough to grab me one, too!…
Chipotle Butternut Squash Sauce with Pasta and Spinach
SO, now that I’ve claimed to not be a “Pasta Girl”, well…I’ve made pasta.
But after that amazing Hazelnut Agnolotti with butternut squash we ate at Josephine last week, who can blame me for wanting more pasta??…
Josephine On 12th Avenue + Grand Opening
I had the honor of being invited to the “soft-opening” of Josephine, a new restaurant in the 12 South area of Nashville.
Josephine is a joint venture by Miranda Whitcomb Pontes (Burger Up) and Jim Lewis (Community Hospitality) along with head chef, Andrew Little. The restaurant is considered an American eatery, featuring small bite, seasonal vegetables, house-made pastas and dumplings, as well as a variety of proteins such as steak, quail, and scallops, to name a few!..
Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili
Cold front moving in… I have just the thing for you!
I know I talk about sweet potatoes all the time, but look at these gorgeous purple ones! I mentioned the Japanese Sweet Potatoes in my Delvin Farms Salad a few weeks ago, but today they play the leading role in this incredible Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili…
Black Bean Fudgy Cookies
Yes, I do realize it’s the weekend after Thanksgiving. And no, I haven’t forgotten that most of us likely ate way too much turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, and pumpkin pie.So why, you might ask, am I posting a cookie recipe when we should probably all be focusing on upping our salad and veggie intake for the next few days in an effort to detox after all that hearty food??…
