I mean, it’s the cutest holiday, ever, to bake delicious delights for…but we’re not talking about that today! Today, I thought we’d talk about an important component to any kitchen—chicken stock.

Let’s end the week with a ridiculously simple recipe, shall we? Guess what? This recipe has 4 ingredients. That includes salt and pepper. When I said ridiculously simple, I meant it.

Breakfast food is the best food. I’m sure that’s something that I’ve said before, but it’s true. Anything that involves eggs is right up my alley! I eat eggs probably 3 or 4 days a week for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s kinda an addiction. Except I don’t want to use the word addiction,

Please excuse me if I can’t form cohesive thoughts in my post, today! I’m still trying to recover from Sunday’s game. I actually had intended this post to go up yesterday, but after I got home from the Seahawk’s game on Sunday, I was so emotionally exhausted that I took a three hour nap! I truly

Cherry-Nutella Banana Bread Bars

These chocolate-y little numbers are banana bread in bar form, studded with dried cherries and chocolate chips. They're super easy to make, and simple to make vegan! | www.spachethespatula.com #recipe

Hi, I’ve been stuffing my face with these since last night.

Restaurant Review: State Street Eating House + Cocktails (Sarasota, FL)

(Yikes! Text heavy post ahead!) It’s been a ridiculously long time since my last restaurant review! What the heck… I honestly don’t even know why because I know I’ve eaten at some crazy tasty restaurants. Actually, I totally know why. The photos. They never come out well due to ultra low-lighting, and then couple that
