Some of the greatest things about food blogging have very little to do with food. I’ve had a chance to meet some absolutely fun and wonderful people over the last several years, and one of those fun and wonderful people is about to have a brand new baby! My friend Josie, the sweet tea and [...]

Penne & Zucchini Carbonara

May 19, 2011

Tell me we’re not alone. You know what? You don’t even have to reassure me. I know we’re not alone. I know we’re not the only ones who became completely enamored by the idea of growing our own produce. With the vision of walking into the backyard, sun shining & birds chirping, with a pair [...]
