Sweet and Spicy Game Day Salsa
Who spent yesterday sitting on the couch in their comfy clothes, watching all of the football games, and eating their weight in glorious game day grub?!
*enthusiastically raises hand*
I love football season.
I feel like I’m legally obligated to love the game purely based on my Pittsburgh roots. Pittsburghers eat and breathe Steeler football. The city, with the exception of the bars and restaurants, pretty much shuts down in honor of the black and gold every single Sunday.
And while the game can be incredibly entertaining, I think we can all agree that sometimes the action on the field comes second to the delicious food that accompanies it.
I mean, come on. Fries, pizza, dips, chips…I’m convinced that the game of football is just an excuse to eat all the things.Read More
Kale-Stuffed Delicata Squash
I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of routines.
I always wake up at 6 AM. I always eat the same breakfast (well, unless this is on the menu). I always drink a cup of green tea in the morning. I always make Mark breakfast.
And, most importantly, we always go to Trader Joe’s on Saturdays.Read More

Banana Bread Granola
Call me crazy, but I love mornings.
My internal clock always goes off at 6 AM, so I almost always am up to an early start. If it’s a work day, I’m getting dressed, doing the whole makeup and hair thing, making Mark and me breakfast, and slowly easing into the inevitably crazy day ahead of me. Truth be told, I’m at my most productive in the mornings; therefore, I always try to pound out as much of my to-do list as possible before noon.Read More
