Kombucha Mustard
Kombucha mustard may just be my favorite condiment. Ridiculously easy to make, it’s a definite go-to flavor booster. Even though my quickly snapped pic may be lacking, this mustard blows it out of the park. No joke.

Smarter Halloween Treats
Halloween is coming! Let’s have some fun. Many of you know that I’m all about food that is easy to prepare. If a recipe requires too many steps or too many ingredients, out it goes. Since many of you share my love of in-and-out kitchen tasks, I thought I would round up some Halloween treats […]

Sage Flower Infused Olive Oil
Yesterday, I noticed that my sage plant was ready to burst into bloom. It’s a bit too early in the season, and I want to encourage it to spend energy on growing instead of flowering.
