I usually only make this once a year… but fresh collards from the garden had me craving a pot of black-eyed pea & collard green stew with homemade cornbread. I also made some sourdough pizza bread for the week. And the house? Smelled so good thanks to Happy Wax melts. #homebody #softlife

I meant to use these strawberries earlier in the week… you know how that goes. 🍓 Had a couple pounds that were getting a little too ripe, so instead of tossing them I made homemade strawberry jam in the bread machine. Tried it on a slice of my homemade wheat bread with a little peanut butter

My version of luxury? ✔️ Spring simmer pot. ✔️ Copycat Cheesecake Factory brown bread. ✔️ Chili oil crunch egg bowl. ✔️ Trying the Slatkin &Co Sea Salt Lavender candle. Quiet. Intentional. At home. #tinyhouse #tinyhome #intentionalliving #homebody #cozy

Spent the perfect day at home. Lit a new Slatkin & Co candle in the scent Limoncello Cupcake & Big Cherry. The whole house instantly felt like spring. It’s sweet but fresh, not overpowering at all. Made Chicken Tikka Masala for dinner, took a long hot shower, and just let the day move sl

After 3+ years in my tiny home, it was time to refresh the bathroom decor. The cat art might be my favorite part 😉 #tinyhouse #bathroomdecor #cozyhome #bathroomrefresh #homeliving

This is one of my favorite one-pot meals when I want something rich, cozy, and creamy. Savory turkey sausage, tender beans, a rich broth, and just enough heat. Finished with pesto, melty pepper jack, and crusty bread because that part is non-negotiable. 😉 INGREDIENTS: - 1 lb ground Italian turk

Spiced rum raisin bread in the bread machine, persimmons falling faster than I can rake them up, and the candle from Slatkin and Co that instantly put me in a Christmas-decorating mood. It smells like the holidays to me. Warm, lightly spiced, and nostalgic in that way that takes you straight back t

The sourdough starter is officially underway. I finally had to admit to myself that I don’t have the patience to wait on making a starter from scratch, so I bought one. No regrets.  I've been putting off redoing the sink caulk in the kitchen for a while now, but I finally got it done. It was

This cold, rainy holiday weekend made it easy to stay inside. I did a little grocery run and baked an apple crisp that made the whole house smell like fall again. 🥰🍂🍎 It wasn’t a big weekend at all… but after Thanksgiving, the slower pace felt perfect. If you’re looking for a warm, delicious, e

Last week the weather shot up into the 80s and my romaine just tapped out. It bolted overnight, leaving me with one lonely lettuce plant. I grabbed the leaves before they turned bitter and turned them into a big, fresh salad. Lately I’ve been in a pickling mood. Red onions were my first test run

For nights when I don't feel like cooking, this bowl hits all the marks. It’s healthy, filling, and protein packed with tuna, eggs, and cottage cheese, plus rice, veggies, and all your favorite sauces. It gives sushi vibes that are quick, cozy, and delicious. My absolute favorite girl dinner.

Been having so much fun with my bread machine. It helped me make pizza dough from scratch. I topped it with turkey pepperoni, onions, jalapeño, and black olives. Served it with a salad from my first Romaine lettuce and microgreens harvest. I also finally started composting. It feels good to get

I’ve been craving a real, from-scratch pasta sauce, so I roasted some fresh veggies and let the beef, wine, and butter do their thing. Simple ingredients, crazy good flavor. This one made my whole kitchen smell like heaven. Here's how I made it 👇 INGREDIENTS: - 3-4 lbs fresh tomatoes -

The first parmesan jalapeño loaf from my new bread machine won me over completely. Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside… I don’t think I’ll be buying store-bought bread again. 😌 Lately I’ve been slowing down and getting back to the basics. It was time to thin the radish seedlings, so I harve

Spent the day planting fall crops, including cauliflower, collards, romaine, and kale, and started my first windowsill herb garden with basil, cilantro, oregano, thyme, and microgreens. 🌿 Later, I tried a new recipe, Cajun Chicken Pot Pie. It was delicious and the perfect comfort food for a rainy d

Some nights, I just need dinner to handle itself. So I tossed everything in the crockpot, walked away, and a few hours later…creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup was waiting. Perfect for busy days or lazy nights. INGREDIENTS: - 2.5 cups cooked chicken - 2 (15 oz) cans white beans, rinsed and drained
