Another first for me... making Quinoa. Which I’ll tell you now, I will be doing again. Love this grain in general, I’ve just been too lazy in the kitchen to diverge from rice. Mango, Avocado, and Black-bean Quinoa bowl. Also featuring red onion, fresh cilantro, and a lime honey olive oil dressing of sorts. Sliced… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Quinoa Bowl

Adventures in Cooking: Mushrooms go Mexican
Mushroom and Spinach Baked Quesadillas Mushrooms are right there with tofu, a little less baggage, but an even longer history of dislike and queasy encounters. Slimy, grey... they remind me of slugs. And while I’m fairly adventurous I can say that unless in a survival situation, I won’t be trying slugs. BUT, like tofu, I… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Mushrooms go Mexican
One of those posts about just kinda everything
It’s one of those things... everyone, or almost everyone who gives advice on how to grow your blog or following... how to connect, says to pick a niche. But see, I can’t. I’ve tried... But I just can’t narrow it down. I want to talk about my love of coffee and my new found cooking… Continue reading One of those posts about just kinda everything
Adventures in Cooking: Tofu and the Carry on
*this post is best enjoyed with a glass of wine or some iced coffee, in my personal opinion. .... got it? Ready? Okay, now sit back and lets jump in.

My Top 5 Indulgences I Have No Intention of Giving Up (and a giant F U to the toxic bullshit I see online)
If you write often enough, you also run into moments when you can’t think of what to write... even though you REALLY want to. Chances are you either gave up and came back later, smacked your head until you came up with some idea, or Googled prompts. I just did the later. Only to find… Continue reading My Top 5 Indulgences I Have No Intention of Giving Up (and a giant F U to the toxic bullshit I see online)
By Candlelight: Day two
After writing Day one, we realized in a moment of beauty that we still had some hot water left in the tank. It was 11 pm but I rushed into the shower anyway. The water was surprisingly warm, making me both grateful and irked that the water heater is clearly the best and maybe only… Continue reading By Candlelight: Day two
#monochromeathome challenge: Grey
A fun fashion challenge from @spagrettystylejournal and @moosoutfits on Instagram. This is the second time they’ve done this challenge, but my first. I missed day one and two but will do five outfits I think. Sweater is at least two years old and one of my favorites.

A Valentine Week for the non-traditional, millennial, poor, and quarantined.
Not unlike my complex relationship with Christmas... Valentines comes with it’s own set of complications. I’ve done it nothing, alone, something cool with friends, and something sweet with partners. I think it’s overrated, but can be fun. Last year I planned a neon valentines dance with my students, and it was a blast. This year...… Continue reading A Valentine Week for the non-traditional, millennial, poor, and quarantined.

I’ve tried lots of different kinds of granola, yogurts, and flavors. But I have determined the below to be important in my favorites so far. - some added nuts… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: The Parfait is Literally the Best
Through Style I’ll… document everything I wear for two straight weeks.
This should be interesting.... I’m also saving them in my Cladwell app so that I can go back and use them to figure out really what I need in my closet in an average two weeks, what colors, shapes, etc I wear most often and more. Monday: Home, writing, research, and cooking Cream ‘coffee’ crew… Continue reading Through Style I’ll… document everything I wear for two straight weeks.
