Happy Wednesday! It officially feels like Fall in Houston. We woke up on Tuesday to about a 30 degree difference from what we’ve been used to. It’s been in the 90s, and we got to enjoy temps in the 60s, with low humidity. It feels fantastic, and it’s officially soup weather. Now through the end of October Aaron and I…

Weekend Edit + Van Gogh Exhibit Review+ a Monkey Bread Recipe
Happy Monday to all! I’m sitting here at my desk with a cup of coffee and my breakfast waiting for Houston’s cold front to roll on through. It’s supposed to be cooler today – and by tomorrow, it will feel like fall. I’m looking forward to it. I’ve got lunch plans today with a friend, and I’ve got a light…
Weekend Digest + a Recipe Roundup
Happy Monday, friends. I was a bit MIA on Friday, but it was for good reason, I promise. Friday was my first time back – in person – with my entire Division since we all began working remotely in March of 2020. It was truly a big deal. My morning started earlier than it has in a long time, and…
Happy Wednesday + Asian-style turkey bowls
Happy Wednesday, friends! The second half of this week is kind of packed full for me – I’ve got a tennis lesson tonight, I’ve got an all-day project I’ll be working on tomorrow, and I’ll be in the office for an all-day Town Hall on Friday. Friday’s Town Hall will be the first time that my entire Division has been…
Weekend Digest+ One Recipe You Need to Make this Week
Happy Monday! Anyone else’s weekend feel like it just flew by? I know I can’t be the only one. True to my word, I tried to keep it as low key as possible this weekend, and I mostly succeeded.

The easiest crockpot meal: beef and broccoli
Happy Wednesday! It’s still pretty hot in Houston, so I’m not quite ready to transition into my fall foods quite yet. I still feel like we have a few more opportunities to grill and enjoy some of my favorite summer foods. I do love a good fall dish, though, and I’m thinking ahead to all the fun recipes I’ll be…
Chicken two ways
Happy Wednesday, friends. I hope your week is off to a nice start. My Monday and Tuesday have been incredibly busy so I can tie up some loose ends at work before I head off to the bachelorette party tomorrow. I haven’t started packing yet (any other last minute packers reading here?). Don’t get me wrong, I have a few…
Weekend Edit + A Costco Haul + 3 Bonus Recipes
Happy Monday, friends! It’s a short week for me this week because I’m headed to Cabo for a bachelorette party on Thursdsay! It’s funny how time goes by so quickly. We were just in the initial planning stages of this a couple of months ago, and it seemed like August was so far away. And, here we are. I was…
An Ode to Running + 30 Minute Meatballs
Happy Wednesday, friends. I mentioned awhile back that I’m trying to incorporate more protein into my meals. I’m not normally a big meat eater, and when I start to up my running, I just feel generally depleted. So, my body has been craving some more protein. I’ve gotten creative with ways to add it in starting with breakfast. You all…
Easy Summer Recipe: Greek Chicken Salad
Happy Wednesday, friends! I don’t know about you, but it’s been a hot one in Houston this week. Our garage AC recently needed to be replaced, and I’m so glad to have a fully functioning AC in there just in time for summer. We’ve been walking the dogs later and later in the evenings so the pavement has time to…
