FavoritePinShare Orzo pasta that is filled with corn, black beans, cilantro, avocado and cherry tomatoes. The cilantro lime ranch dressing on top is incredible! It’s hot here in Utah my friends.

Strawberry scones are pure decadence and comfort. While I typically derive great pleasure from creating baked goods that are better for you and still taste fabulous (Pumpkin Scones are a prime example), I won’t lie to you—I left my magic bag of lighter comfort food tricks on the shelf this time. These English strawberry scones are all real butter and heavy cream, and I don’t regret one tender bite. Nor should you....

To smother meat means to cook it low-and-slow in rich gravy until the meat becomes ridiculously tender. And let me tell you, these smothered pork chops ARE ridiculously tender.

As my mother will heartily attest, as a kid I was THE WORST about taking any kind of liquid medicine, especially cold or flu medicine. I’d work myself into a reality TV–worthy fit, to the extent that she finally gave up and let me start swallowing the gel capsules at an age that I’m sure was a few years below what it says on the back of the box. My one exception was the weird neon pink medicine that had to refrigerated, which I found oddly delicious....

… a beautiful baby girl! ??? On August 3rd, Tim and I welcomed our daughter Rebecca into the world. And just like that, my whole life changed! And I don’t mean only the obvious changes you’d expect from having a baby, like sleep deprivation (I haven’t slept over 2 hours in a row since July, y’all!) and poop/burp obsession, but something deep and beautiful changed inside of me and I finally truly loved....
