Romain made english muffins from scratch! It took 2 days and they came out pretty rustic, but they were delicious! There is something really amazing about making your own breads from scratch. I think all the work that you have to put into it makes it that much more delicious. Romain used this no-knead recipe […]

Pizza! It’s delicious, comforting, versatile and one of Romain’s favorite things in the world. His sister recently got him the Mastering Pizza cookbook by Marc Vetri, so he’s been getting a lot of practice in. His goal has been to recreate wood fired pizza in our oven at home, which can be tricky since the […]

If I could sum up Tate & Justin’s day, I would chose one word; romance. From the loving looks that Justin stole of Tate, the soft color palate of the wedding details, the Virginia countryside views, even down to the little wisps of Tate’s hair framing her face; it all exuded romance. Sometimes in the […]

April 21st marked one year of marriage for us! We decided to celebrate with a staycation at The Fearrington – if you haven’t had a chance to go, it really is quite an experience. It is a historic farm just outside of Chapel Hill. The village has so much charm with lots of little shops […]

Pork Carnitas are basically delicious slow cooked Mexican pulled pork and takes a bit of cooking time, but it’s well worth it. We cooked ours up on a Sunday, when we knew we’d be home most of the day. It’s classically made by slow cooking the pork in lard, but for the sake of our […]

We just got our new blender and so of course we had to figure out something exciting to make for our first time using it! What a great excuse to make a milkshake (as if this heat wasn’t enough of an excuse). We might need to make a milkshakes into their own blog mini series […]

Mercedes and I have known each other for about a decade now, which makes me feel so old, but is also pretty cool! We worked together back in the good old days at Dicks Sporting Goods, which if you have never worked retail, let me tell you, it really brings a special bond between coworkers. […]

These meatballs are a Romain specialty that he learned from his dad and they are always a treat. He grills them up with ratatouille, tzatziki and couscous (so nice they named it twice!). For me growing up, meatballs were always in tomato sauce or in the crockpot with some type of sweet/tangy sauce (which is […]

This session was so dreamy and let my creative heart sing! It was the kind of photography session that I didn’t know I needed. I love these moments that bring me back to my love of being creative and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. It obviously really helped that I had Jess & […]

I love spending time with the Griffin family! They are the kindest people with the most caring personalities, which really shines through in how they’ve raised Hazelton. He was so excited to show me his room and his toys and to take family photos! It was such a joy to see what a great big […]
