blackberry jalapeno glazed pork tenderloin
grilling season is fully upon us, this weekend more so than ever. break up the monotony of the hamburgers & hot dogs {yes, they’re good but by the 4th cookout…ENOUGH ALREADY.} & become the hero of the grill by cooking up this insanely good piece of meat. brined to tender perfection & topped with an [...]
arugula salad with strawberries & blue cheese
this began as an entirely different recipe, but as we discovered the goat cheese was moldy contents of our fridge, it sort of…evolved. at that point, only the dressing remained. & it is lovely, light & delicious with the sweetness of perfectly ripe strawberries. this dressing goes oh so well with the pungent blue cheese [...]

meatless monday | creamy avocado pasta
whenever i am looking for ideas for meatless meals, my mind almost immediately goes to pasta. it’s just so easy to adapt a pasta & add & omit different ingredients, while still turning out a delicious meal. however, i tend to like rich, creamy, cheesy pastas, {probably a result of my college roommate & i [...]
blue cheese scallion drop biscuits
i’ve been seeing biscuits all over the place the past couple days, so i figured it was about time to share these. not that i haven’t wanted to before now. it’s just that every time i’ve sat down to write lately, i feel like i’ve run out of words. but in reality, i haven’t [...]
