Meet Baby Foodie. He keeps me hopping around here, along with his older brother, Little Foodie. They love to be in the kitchen with me, which means they’re often into everything as I’m cooking. Little Foodie, my four year old, is my constant shadow, and you’ll see him in a lot of the pictures on…

Simple Homemade Hummus
My Simple Homemade Hummus recipe is being featured today on CenterCutCook.com! It’s so easy and so good! I left out the tahini, which I think is kind of bitter and overpriced. But you won’t miss it with all of the fresh lemon and parsely in this recipe! Hummus is a great way to sneak more…
Black Bean Hummus
I’m so excited! My friends Ashley and Ryan are featuring some of my newest recipes on their website, Center Cut Cook.com!

Kim’s Hot Cacao
Hot cacao? In the middle of July? Oh yes. I guarantee once you get hooked on this stuff you won’t care WHAT month it is, as long as you have some. You see, I gave up coffee last October. Crazy, right? Unfortunately, I’ve become increasingly intolerant of it over the years. I haven’t had soda…
Kim’s Five-Way Chili
Say it with me now (in your best Homer Simpson voice): Mmmmmm. Chili! There’s nothing like a good hot bowl of chili, even in the summer. For us, it’s a year round comfort food that also happens to be pretty good for you. I make mine with ground turkey instead of beef. It has a…
