Red Beans & Rice
My vegan bestie and I decided to jump in and try them all. The internet can be a magical place, right? Who knew a shipment of beans would be so exciting... look I’m almost 40, I’ll take my kicks where I can get them.

Southern Clover Club
Do you remember the first time you had gin? Because I do — College, I was maybe 21 and someone showed up to a party with Beefeater and store brand tonic and a squeeze bottle of lime…
London with The Girls
Whatever the reason, wherever the destination; take the trip. There are memories to be made and time marches on whether you want it to or not, so do yourself a favor and lean in to the relationships that make your soul complete.
Travel Style with Spanx
My go-to is anything from the Air Essentials collection but especially the jumpsuit! Now I know that jumpsuits can be a bit of a hassle in airports and on planes but hear me out; it is straight up the most comfortable piece of clothing I've ever put on my body.
"Chorizo" and Potato Deconstructed Tacos
I love Chorizo! I grew up eating it. But healthy it is not... and that is where Trader Joe's Soyrizo comes in.
Eggroll in a Bowl
I'm not a believer in denying myself food I love, but even I can admit that sometimes I over indulge, eat too many carbs, have too many fried things.
Saint Aviation
This is literally my number 1 cocktail right now! I'm a new lover of gin. I always thought it tasted like Christmas trees and it just wasn't for me. I'd just never had it mixed with the right things.
NoNo's Zucchini Bread
I love the way certain foods can take you back in time. Most of my memories of my grandmother (who is still alive and kicking at 93 years young) involve cooking.
Sky High Buttermilk Biscuits
These tall, fluffy buttermilk biscuits are the things dreams are made of. My favorite part of making biscuits is breaking them in half after they come out of the oven, that explosion of warm steam, yum!
Greek Lamb Ragu with Penne
I discovered a version of this dish years ago (thanks to my big sister) from Rachel Ray. The original had a few hard to find ingredients and unnecessary steps, so I’ve definitely messed with it a bit through the years to make it my own.
Candy Cookies
I love Macadamia nuts, but geez y'all, they're expensive. So when I came across these candies on the aisle at Costco, I knew these were the answer. Chopped up and put into a simple cookie recipe, these are the perfect blend of salty, sweet and crunchy.
Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies
You guys, these are delish! Great crust, cake-like centers, not too sweet and the perfect amount of mint. It’s about to get chilly here in DFW, and that makes me want to bake!
Jumping To-Do Lists
“What’s the worst that could happen? It could fail. Or it could end up in your to-do list forever.” - Laura Bush, advice given to Barbara & Jenna
Love Your Naked
Confidence. That word holds so much power. It can make or break a day, a week a month. Actually, it can define your life without you ever realizing.
Happy Birthday Mom
My stomach has felt hollow for days, I've dreaded this Sunday with every fiber of my being. My mom's birthday. A day, that shamefully, I forgot some years. I'd forget to send a card or to call. I thought I had time.
A Long Day Martini
I had a version of this in a bar years ago at a friends 30th birthday party and it became one of my favorite drinks after a long day, hence the name. It's potent, make no mistake about that, but it's also tart and sweet and lovely.
Spiced Pear Champagne Cocktail
I discovered this cocktail years ago for our Annual Christmas party. The original recipe is for a punch bowl and it's little too sweet.
