Five simple edits for better photos
After I posted my tips for capturing and editing food photos at home, Michelle mentioned it was nice to see someone who produced a ‘natural’ kind of result. In an overly photoshopped world, I get that; it’s exhausting to look at the perfect image after perfect image. That’s what we’re here for today. My five…

Lucky 13
Monday was our 13th wedding anniversary. This dude and I are the lucky holders of the 13 years of marriage, 15 years together, trophy. Which, they tell me isn’t a thing but I’ll raise it high anyway. Because marriage is hard and making it work can be harder. Can I be honest with you? Pffft,…

Suger Eats; it’s a thing
Remember when I used to post recipes? I did it all the time and cooking was something that made me super happy. Only when I didn’t HAVE to do it, mind you. But happy none the less. I sort of lost my mojo because life came up and stole my beautiful kitchen from me, followed by…

Weeknight pasta dinner
I hadn’t planned to put this recipe on the blog. There’s not much to it, and the photos from my kitchen counter at 8 pm on a weeknight are hardly the stuff of Pinterest dreams. But, this is a delicious, simple meal that with a few fresh, simple ingredients can make your life so much easier.…

The order of things
There’s an order to things and sometimes you just have to stick to it so things WORK. But, I mean, how the heck do you tell the difference between the order of things and change? How does one know whether they’re being a change-maker or a jerk with no consideration for others? Or really, are…

30 days of daily blogging.
Well, it’s been 30 days of daily blogging; give or take a few days. I made it, sort of. While I may not have blogged every single day, but I did the majority of them. In the last 30 days, I made stuff; took more photos and wrote what was there to write day after day.…
