About me
Hi! I'm Lindsey.

I do public health work at Duke University, 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!

Summer loving

The peppers and tomatoes are in full swing here in North Carolina, so I think this weekend will be great for braising some chicken Sicilian style.  But in the mean time, I’m just going to snack on tomato sandwiches and this lovely watermelon!

CSA - Week 14 - 2 slicing tomatoes, Sungold tomatoes, red bell pepper and watermelon!

The sunflowers also make it seem super summery!  So here’s an added close-up for good measure.

I hope you’re all enjoying summer while it lasts.  It’s hard to believe we’re just days away from August!
