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!

Last month I decided to embrace the extra bit of free time I have over the summer and take a photography class. I’m hoping to improve my confidence when I’m out photographing things with Dan, who was the photography editor for our college newspaper, and I’m also hoping this blog will benefit from my learnings. So while I haven’t posted here much in August, I have been working to capture some beautiful meals. If you have a favorite you want to hear more about, just drop me an e-mail, and I’ll post more. I think these photos probably do a better job capturing the beauty of summer than my writing does anyhow.
Sungold tomatoes - little bites of the sun!
Pods and their purple hull beans
Into the pit of a peach
Sicilian chicken and peppers over polenta
Afternoon delight - roasted tomato, peppers, and corn soup with grilled cheese with curried goat cheese spread
Chocolate-cherry dessert bars
Fresh cherries are hard to beat, but if you’re going to try, adding butter, sugar, chocolate, and almonds is a pretty good way to try!
