About me
Hi! I'm Lindsey.
I'm a health educator, like to run at a slow, but steady pace, teach group fitness classes, and do my best to keep up with my family that's spread across the country. In the midst all of that, playing in the kitchen is one of my favorite stress relievers and creative outlets, so this blog chronicles some of my favorite cooking and baking adventures, but in the process it also tells the story of the rest of my life.
Like many people in the Triangle area, I'm a transplant. After spending the first 21 years of my life in the midwest, I've been settled in North Carolina for seven years. One of the things I love most about the area is the diversity of local farms, farmers' markets, and great food, so I follow lots of local food happenings, but I also keep up with my fair share of Midwestern favorites.
If you like what you find here, feel free to drop me a note and
email Yummy things. I'd love to hear from all of you out there!

Hazel’s doing good enough with all her finger food, that she’s starting to get meals that look a lot more like ours. Hopefully by the end of the month, we’ll have successfully made it through introducing dairy (seems to have gone fine this week), eggs, and wheat, so that she can really eat just what we’re having for dinner. But so far, she’s been a fan of most everything, including…

Pesto on potatoes and green beans, though her portion wasn’t the Lingurian carb-explosion that ours was, since we skipped the pasta for her.

Mixed veggies, which I just scooped out of vegetable bean soup (first hint that the temperatures are starting to drop!)

Even Indian food!

I thought she might not like the spices, but she gobbled it right up!
For those of you with little ones, do you have any favorite meals that are good for grown-ups that also work well as finger food?
