I Am... Easy Weeknight Bacon and Egg Stir Fry Lo Mein
If I were someone who could eat everything without consequence, I would definitely be living my best life. A lot of the times, the in-depth serious conversations Mike and I have are about food. Like, what would you eat if you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life? Mike always has well thought out answers, but I’m always waffling between 30 different choices, then I get extra confused because I start thinking about waffles and how many types of different waffle variations there are out there and basically it’s an endless loop of food obsessive thoughts.

I Am... 7 Low Carb Keto Friendly Recipes for Your Next Tailgate Party
It’s tailgating season! Which means tailgating parties, which means SNACKS! Although, who am I really kidding? I have no idea what the heck tailgating season is. I know it has something to do with football and the fall and I absolutely love fall and I’m in deep with snacks, so I’m all for the tailgating. Really, what I end up doing is just making a bunch of snacks and calling it a tailgate even if there’s no sports involved. Sacrilegious I know, but how could anyone be upset if there are snacks involved?

I Am... Hatch Green Chile Wonton Two Ways
This is the last of our Hatch green posts for this year, not because we’ve eaten all of our Hatch, but just because maybe kind of there’s too much green chile on the blog?! Anyway, when we were driving through New Mexico a couple of months ago, Mike kept seeing places that had green chile chicken wonton. We didn’t stop into any of those places, but ever since then, green chile wonton have been on my mind.

I Am... Hatch Green Chile Cheeseburger Fried Rice
Ever since we bought a 25 pound box of green chile, we’ve been eating green chile everything. Well, let me be a little more honest...Mike’s been eating green chile everything and I’ve just been regretting the fact that I decided that we should get a box of hot instead of a box of mild. Let me tell you, hot hatch chile are are forking hot.

I Am... 9 of the Best Low Carb Snacks and Snack Recipes
I’m a snack monster and while on keto, there aren’t really that many snacks you can have. I’m used to reaching for a bag of chips or maybe if I’m feeling particularly healthy, some fruit. Both fruit and chips are a big NO on the keto diet so I had to find myself some snacks that were low carb and keto friendly because me without snacks just isn’t me at all.

I Am... Friday Finds: 9.6.19
It’s the first Friday in September and as much as I’m hanging on to the last days of summer I’m all for fall because I’m basic and September is my birthday month and I’m a fall baby even though technically I’m a late summer baby. Give me ALL THE FALL THINGS please. The other day Mike and I were at Target and I picked up a tiny little felt pumpkin and all felt right with the world. I can’t wait until the air starts getting crispy and I can have pumpkin spice lattes without feeling funny that I’m still wearing shorts.

I Am... 6 Blueberry Recipes to Make Before Blueberry Season is Over
Is it already the end of summer where you live? Are you living the pumpkin spice life or are you holding on to the last bits of summer as long as you can? Technically it’s still summer, even though there are pumpkin spice lattes everywhere. To me, late summer always means blueberries, back-to-school supplies, and just the barest hint of chill in the early morning air. Usually I’m all about fall – it’s my favorite season – but this year I’m going to blueberry as long as I can. Here are 6 recipes you can make before blueberry season is over. Blueberry life forever!

I Am... Creamy Spicy Hatch Green Chile Mac and Cheese
It’s hatch chile season and as all the posters at the grocery store say, “hatch chile is here, it’s now or next year!” Mike and I are huge fans of hatch chile, especially after our little trip to New Mexico. We even stopped in the tiny town of Hatch, but since it wasn’t quite Hatch season, nothing was going on. We saw all the giant kitschy plastic sculptures and fields and fields of growing hatch plants, but there was no roasting and the one place that we wanted to have a green chile cheeseburger at was closed.

I Am... How to Cook Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi with Jammy Cherry Tomatoes, Corn and Basil
Are you guys busy eating all the corn and tomatoes before the end of summer? It’s hard to believe that it’s the last week of August. Where did the time go?! It’s almost even harder to believe that it’s pumpkin spice latte season. Does PSL season start earlier and early every year? And do people start talking about the end of summer absurdly early? I feel like almost all the posts on Instagram have been talking about the end of summer, but summer isn’t over yet. Technically it’s not over until September 23rd.

I Am... Vintage Trailer Hotels: The Better-Than-Glamping Camping Experience You Never Knew You Loved
I love camping. I love campfires, being outside, sleeping in a tent and waking up to see the sunrise. But then again, I also love (LOVE!) glamping because it’s all the best parts of camping without any of the inconvenience. So, it should come as no surprise that Mike and I have ascended to the next level of camping. If backcountry backpacking is sleeping in your car at a rest stop, and car camping is a roadside motel, glamping is a regular hotel. Then, there’s vintage trailer rentals: the highest level of luxury in the strange and wonderful world of the nomadic lifestyle.

Have you guys been to Greece? I’ve never been but I’ve always been interested in the azure blue seas, the white washed buildings, and the food. Oh, and the partying. I always think of partying when I think of Greece because when I was in high school I had a pen pal (do they still do that in high school? Pen pal cultural exchange things?) who told me that she would go out with her friends and party until four in the morning and then go out for chicken souvlaki. It sounded so grown up and mysterious to me. At 13 I definitely wasn’t a stay out all night kind of person. And, who am I really kidding, I’m not one now either.

I Am... Weeknight Thai Curry Stir Fry Udon Noodles
I love udon noodles so much that Mike and I went on a udon pilgrimage to the birthplace of udon. It did not disappoint. Nor did it do anything to ease my intense craving for udon noodles. Udon noodles are the best: thick and chewy, infinitely slurpable, and so so easy to cook and eat.
