calabacitas.
One of my favorite sides; and fillings for quesadillas. A really quick way to enjoy summer squash and zucchini–just don’t be shy with the jalapenos.

soup and crackers, 10.16
Last night, I felt like having a warm, comforting meal. It was dreary; it was gray. And so, soup it was. I can churn out a delicious soup any day. But this time, I wanted to amp it up a bit. I wanted a challenge. So homemade cheez-it crackers it was. They were really amazing.…

photo-ing.

wip: moody house hat.
I absolutely love color work. Its challenging but so rewarding and takes to crazy color combinations really well. This is the Moody House hat, in progress. Top down, I decided to use little bundles of leftover yarn I had, so this hat is a stash buster, besides being gorgeous and so fun to work up.…
