Did you know National Hummus Day is this coming Saturday? While you’ll almost always find a tub of hummus in my fridge (24/7/365), I figured this is a day to celebrate my love of hummus a little harder than usual.

I took the opportunity to not only celebrate hummus, but some of my favorite seasonal ingredients (and a few fun goodies), as well.

The Sunday brunch game is strong in my hometown of Ferndale, Michigan. Every restaurant in town serves brunch until at least 2pm, so if you’re out looking for *lunch*, well, sorry. You’re getting brunch.

Bottomless mimosas and make-your-own bloody mary bars take over the city. Heck, there’s even brunch beer menus.

There’s brioche french toast at every corner. And every establishment is looking to outdo the others with their brunch menu creativity.

Home cooks across Michigan love the great apples available in our state, perfect for cooking or eating on their own. Today, I’m guest posting for the Michigan Apples blog, sharing a recipe featuring Gala apples.

Slow cookers are known for one delicious service they provide: being able to fill the pot with ingredients, go to work for eight hours, and come home to delicious crockpot soups. Unless . . . you work from home.

And then, you fill the pot with ingredients, stay at home with it for eight hours as it smells progressively more and more amazing, and then text your husband to come home now so that you can eat right when the eight hour mark hits.
