The only thing more exciting than waking up on Christmas morning is waking up to the smell of something sweet and spiced on Christmas morning. If the comfort of being home with family and the anticipation of the “magic” that happens every night before Christmas was an aroma, it would be this. I’m not much […]
One of the best things about the farmer’s market is, without question, the ability to interact with the farmers and vendors. To shake the hand that helped produce and harvest your food is to bring back the human connection we have lost through big supermarkets. This weekend, as I wound around the aisles drifting from […]
If the words “stuffed” and “squash” in the title of this dish isn’t sweet music to your ears, then what if I throw in “chorizo” and “queso fresco”? If you’re anything like me, there’s a straight up symphony going on in your head (and maybe your stomach) right now. Whether Texas weather chooses to acknowledge […]

I am so excited to share some of the recipes from the new Abundantly More Magazine created by a sweet friend as a way to showcase the profound Gospel implications in simple, everyday life. I got to share a bit of my food philosophy in the magazine… “Any place there is joy, there is God. And […]
