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!

Fall is in the air

It’s hard to believe, but morning temps have been below 70 degrees for two weeks, we’ve just ended the third week of classes at Duke, and the Chicago Marathon is just one month away!  Fall is definitely here.  Sadly, this means that we’re almost at the end of our current CSA share.  Luckily, we got a bounty of beautiful produce this week, since our friends that we split the box with are away on vacation.

Lots of fun stuff - Sungolds, Muscadine grapes, arugula, red potatoes, tomatoes, a bell pepper and eggplant

Unfortunately, I’ve been working late at Duke essentially every night this week, so instead of whipping up fresh dishes, we’ve been eating our way through a spaghetti pie that I made over the weekend.  But today we had a great time at the first day of Healthy Devils training, so new food is in order soon!

Awesome Healthy Devils - Kathryn, Alia, Priyanka, Sam and Yaoli - who shared their experiences with new applicants during a panel on our first day of training

Also, I’m enjoying our flowers as much as possible, because next week will be our last week of our flower share.  At least I’ll have my album of CSA goodies to help make it through the colder months.
