Are you ready for some corn porn?
Hey, it’s my blog. I can say “corn porn” if I want to. I mean, just look at those bodacious, bright, insanely summer-y kernels, yo. I speak the truth.

Blueberry Oat Bran Muffins
Before you say anything – I know. I know “oat bran muffins” is pretty much the least sexy food-name of all time. But hear me out!!
These blueberry oat bran muffins are kinda sorta like the nerdy girl in the 90’s rom-com who turns into a total babe and wins the heart of the most popular guy in school as soon as she gets some contacts and a blowout. Ya dig?
It’s like, oat bran, BO-RING. Bran muffins, MEH. But then! We add big juicy bursts of fresh blueberry deliciousness and….DAYUMMMM. Sexy. Right?

BBQ Chicken, Bacon, and Blue Cheese Naan Pizzas
I’d like to formally introduce you to what will be henceforth be known as The Summer of Quick and Easy Recipes on My Bacon-Wrapped Life.
It’s not ideal, but it’s real life, people. With a crazy (at least, crazy for my super-homebody self) travel schedule that’s packed my summer with weddings and wedding-errands and lake vacations and friend visits, my summer is lookin’ a lotta wonderful but also a little nutso. Which means keeping up with this blog is going to be an adventure and a half for this working girl. So I just wanted to throw out some advance warning that this here space will tend more towards the quick and easy and less towards the slow-simmered Bolognese/homemade cinnamon rolls/fancy-pants stuff for the next few months. Which I think is actually quite perfect for the summer, ya know? Don’t we all really just want something fast and mindless and delicious and hot-kitchen-time minimizing?
That’s the summer dream, people.

Kitchen Sink Summer Farro Salad
I don’t want to be totally cliché and say the 4th of July totally snuck up on me and I CAN’T BELIEVE it’s next weekend, but like. There. I said it. It’s true. How is it not-June as of Wednesday?!
Not that I’m complaining. Although the summer always flies by way too fast, I love this time of year – poised right at the beginning of months and months of long, warm, sunny days, the promise of relaxed alfresco meals and lots of ice cream dangling right in front of us. Even in perpetually-sunny California, there’s something about summer that just makes you want to relax, take a deep breath, and just be. And that is always a good thing in my book!
