I have been so busy lately that I haven’t had much time to update my blog! (Except for the tacos…by the way, yum…) I do have a really good excuse for this: in addition to work and sleep, in the past week I have been on a road trip to Key West, gone to the [...]

So far we have the steak and the tortillas, but we haven’t gotten to the pièce de résistance: the guacamole. Guacamole. Mmmm…let’s let that word just hang in the air for a bit. I should probably reiterate that guacamole is one of my most favorite foods of all time, if not my favorite. I love [...]

Time for the second part of my Beach Bum tacos! The second part, homemade flour tortillas, was completely accidental. I needed to make the tacos that night, because my avocados were going to go bad (the end of the world as I know it), and I had written myself several reminders to pick up flour [...]

My trip to the Keys was wonderful. The weather was beautiful, and I’ve never seen water so blue in all my life! I’ll do a post about the trip later this week. For today, though, I wanted to show you all the recipe for my favorite tacos! This meal is a little more labor-intensive than [...]
Road trip!

This afternoon we are all leaving to go to Key West for the weekend! I can’t wait – the furthest south I have been since I got to Florida was to Key Largo…camping…while it poured buckets of rain…and I was sick, exhausted and wound up sleeping in my car…so the battery died…and we had to [...]

~ * ~ ~ * ~ My heart said to my mind in the dark silence of that beach: “I love you, I will never leave you, I will always take care of you.” That promise floated up out of my heart and I caught it in my mouth and held it there, tasting it [...]

In so many ways, since I have moved to Florida I feel like a different person. Part of it, I think, is because everything and everyone around me is so completely different from everything I have ever known before. The sounds are different, the smells are different…even the air itself is different. Heavier, thicker, and [...]

Spicy White Bean Chili

I feel as though I should clarify, right from the get-go, that this is not an intensive, simmered-for-hours and full-of-meat-and-onions chili. This is a vegetarian, made-from-cans-and-whatever-is-in-your-pantry chili. But it is still delicious! This chili evolved from something my BFF Kalie served me once at her house while watching Desperate Housewives. Kalie is far from what [...]
