A few weeks ago I had an epic weekend with the fine folks at Florida Strawberries. They whisked a group of bloggers around Plant City, just east of Tampa, a town famous for growing strawberries in the winter months. We visited the strawberry fields, cooling facilities and even a research farm that studies and creates …
I am always scouring the internet for recipe inspiration, and perhaps the most fun of it is finding ingredients to substitute for others. Like ground walnuts and cauliflower for beef or pulled squash for BBQ pulled pork. As someone who eats a mostly Veggie-based diet, I am accustomed to substitutions. Most are pretty good- except …
I may have been one of the only kids in the world that would not only eat Brussels sprouts, but I would ask for them. I am pretty sure marinated brussels sprouts is the first recipe I asked my Mom for when I had a place of my own. I absolutely love these. And they …
Welcome to Meatless Monday…one of my favorite posts of the week. Today is also the start of a new giveaway – a $25 gift card to Publix, courtesy of the fine folks over at the 2016 Publix Savannah Women’s Half Marathon. The race is taking place on April 2 this year and I am one …
If there is one thing I could eat everyday for the rest of my life, it would be roasted vegetables. Especially Brussels Sprouts. Seriously, I need to change the name of my blog to Beauty and the Brussels Sprouts. Just saying. In between recipes featuring my favorite little cabbage balls, I like to eat other …

I made very simple steamed potatoes, carrots and asparagus, adding some slow roasted tomatoes and suddenly my meal was elevated to this sophistication you can only …
I love going to blogging conferences. Especially Food Blogger Conferences. I get so inspired by the people, the sessions and mostly the food. A few weeks ago I attended the Food and Wine Conference right here in Orlando and I feel like all I did was stuff my face and laugh. On Sunday morning of …
I have a HUGE obsession with Brussels Sprouts. Chad and I eat them a few times a week. I will always order them if I see them on a restaurant menu. I love them hot, cold, sauteed, marinated, roasted, baked, seared or fried. I love them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack or dessert. Seriously, I …
Roasted Curried Cauliflower is here! Sometimes you find a recipe that you get really excited about and it turns out all wrong. I found a recipe for Crispy Curried Cauliflower and made it to accompany these Black Eyed Pea Sweet Potato Sliders. I was so excited to share this recipe…except… not all recipes turn out …
On a recent trip through Charleston, South Carolina, Chad and I stopped at a little roadside hot dog house called Jack’s Cosmic Dogs. Jack’s has been featured on The Food Network as part of Feasting on Asphalt and was Alton Brown’s pick on The Best Thing I Ever Ate. I looked over the menu just …
