WELCOME!

I'm Abigail, a food blogger living in Los Angeles. I spend my days dreaming of, creating, and eating food. I also adore country music & show tunes, old movies, and traveling to small towns where I pretend I'm going to move to one day. I hope you enjoy your visit to my little world.

Longing for the weekend and a chance to finish yet another book by Judith Jones who is a legend in the culinary publishing world and someone who has led a life, loving food, that beyond inspires.

A chicken dinner for a hot, southern summer night. Dijon and veganiase marinated chicken thighs coated in panko breadcrumbs and baked for 20 minutes at 450° then topped with a bright, fresh peach tomato salsa--the most unique peach tomatoes, garlic, jalapeños, cilantro, and fresh lemon. Evening light on the side.

Four months ago today, I spent my last day in Los Angeles. I followed my instinct and have experienced that risk paying off, every single day. Life, when lived fully, is truly something else. Oh, and I'm drinking a matcha latte while I reflect.

Back to basics. ☀️🥑

It just felt like a BBQ chicken night.

We kicked off @nashvillescene Burger Week so right, last night. $5 specialty burgers at over 30 restaurants, all week. // The Danny Larusso burger from @jbsnashville has wagyu beef, a bit of cream cheese, and a touch of sweet jalapeño jelly. #SceneBurgerWeek

Couldn't let the @thepeachtruck kiss this peach season goodbye without getting myself a whole box. This gal has some canning to do.

Blah day calls for homemade SpaghettiOs. 🤘 (Recipe courtesy of @saveurmag)

One egg for one, please.

Peach season is paused, in a lightly sweetened coconut sugar syrup, until the moment of my choosing. ⏯

I've been missing the widespread culinary diversity I was immersed in, gleefully, for so long in Los Angeles. So today, I hunted down some authentic street tacos inside a small building in deep East Nashville. I had three different homemade, incredibly spicy salsas on top of carne asada, pork adobada, and carnitas. All is well.

I most often prefer my salads with multiple, heaping spoonfuls of pesto instead of a traditional dressing. I've been craving all sorts of spicy food lately so today's salad was topped with a roasted jalapeño & cilantro pesto. // Roasted 1 jalapeño (seeds removed) for 20 minutes at 400° and blended with: 1 cup fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup avocado oil, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 small garlic clove, 1 tbsp honey, and a pinch each of salt & pepper. Salad is: Red leaf lettuce, yellow heirloom tomatoes, avocado topped with homemade taco seasoning, skillet crisped sweet corn, and a fried egg.
