I’ve been a nut for citrus lately. A nut! But, I overbought oranges and found myself desperately looking for ways to use them before they went bad.
We also had the world’s smallest and weirdest amount of grapefruit juice in the fridge. Seriously, like 2 tablespoons.

There are some condiments that I always need to have on hand. One of them is sesame oil. Do you have some leftover chicken you want to liven up? Boom! Sesame oil. Do you want a fun vinaigrette? Boom! Sesame oil.

Happy Fifth Anniversary, Crasstalk! Yay! XOXO!

So, that kind of means half the ingredients, right? Continue reading
I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. My obsessions run more toward tomatoes, because apparently I make no sense.
But the other day when the temperature climbed back in the 90’s, (and it was too hot to turn the oven on) I woke up craving chocolate blueberry cookies.
See, I told you I make no sense. Continue reading
