Thanks to everyone that submitted their comments for my Yankee Candle cozy giveaway this week! I love y'all so much that it brings out my inner southern belle. I feel like inviting' y'all in for sweet tea and bridge club. (I just finished listening to The Help...
After posting that amazing Braised Short Rib, Stout, and Potato Pot Pie on Recipe Sunday last weekend, I've been craving a dutch oven meal. But the tragedy of our kitchen is that we've never owned a dutch oven. I know. Our kitchen has just never been complete. But...
There is no other food that defines comfort food like a pot pie. In fact, a pot pie is to the dinner world as a cinnamon roll is to the pastry world - hot, sticky, creamy, gooey, and simply comfor-licious. That's right. It's so good I made up a new word and that...
January gets a bum rap. It's a month of coming down off of the holiday season high PLUS the OMG-its-a-new-year month and the I-didn't-do-nearly-enough-last-year month. Mix that with the smack middle of winter and you've got a deadly combination for the winter...
“Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are...
I’m a nester. A mole. I love to burrow into my comfortable, safe spaces that I create around me, knowing that I’m in control. Because when I’m in control, things will always be the same. And same is safe. But Jeff … well… Jeff has the confidence of a Honey Badger....

The best thing about food is it's ability to take you back. I mean waaaaaay back. I mean back to your grocery shopping around the kitchen with your mini-toy shopping cart and your Cabbage Patch doll days. Those were the days when the kitchen counters felt a mile...
STOP THE PRESSES. I posted my first photo on Instagram on December 16, 2010. And I just found out that Jeff posted his first Instagram on December 3o, 2010. I'm must document this moment, because this just may be the first time EVER that I've seen, adopted, posted,...
Jeff and I are in San Francisco for two weeks. Why? To dream. Well, and to work our butts off. We're not shooting much in the next few months, so we're taking two weeks during our wedding off-season (January to March) to work on those projects that have taken a...
So I realize that our love story up until this point has been one constant stream of awkward-sauce, but it’s about to become one constant stream of eye rolling, gushy romantic-sauce. So if you’re not the type that loves gushy romance, well then you may as well stop...
(I’m writing a short series on the blog about a week in the life of The Youngrens. This is the fourth installment – read the entire series here.) While most folks are shouting TGIF from the rooftops at the end of the week, for most of the year Jeff and I usually...
