One Girl's Adventures in Moderation!

It just felt like a Roast Chicken Sunday, amiright? 🧐
We roasted a Bell & Evans chicken with our favorite Cracked Black Pepper rub from Victoria Gourmet, then I made a mess of veggies - roasted Brussels with chicken bacon, rainbow carrots roasted with orange zest & Mike's Hot Honey, and the greatest squash recipe ever : Skinnytaste Parmesan Crusted Delicata Squash!
It was definitely a labor of love to make *three* veggies but I couldn’t decide which ones to make so I made ‘em all! 😉 Best of all, everything was delicious and now - I have leftovers for lunch this week! 🙌
What is your favorite comfort meal on a Sunday?

One-Pot Roman Chicken Cacciatore FTW! 🙌
I needed a comfort meal tonight, so I made this wonderfully comforting and delicious one-pot meal from the NYT Cooking using simple ingredients — with a little twist of chopped fennel. 🌿🍗🥔
This dish brings together crispy chicken thighs, tender potatoes, capers, white wine, vinegar, and fragrant herbs all in one pot (minimal cleanup 🙌). I added chopped fennel early so it could soften and melt into the sauce, giving everything a subtle sweetness that plays so nicely with the rosemary and briny capers.
This was comfy, unfussy, deeply satisfying — the kind of meal that feels like a deep exhale at the end of the day. 🧘‍♀️
Recipe is linked here if you want to make it, too:

What do you think? Have you ever seen a white chicken cacciatore? Would you try this?

Taco Tuesday said “ditch the tortilla.” 🤣
Tonight I made a shrimp fajita bowl with shrimp, peppers & onions, brown Minute Rice, an individual Sabra guac, and A Dozen Cousins black beans. Oh, and a dollop of daisysourcream - that jingle influenced me! 🎵
I *knew* this was going to be delicious so I also made a second to take for lunch tomorrow? 💃
Did you celebrate Taco Tuesday today? What did you have?

Am I really channeling Tomato Girl Summer… in January? 🍅❄️🤣
Tonight I made baked cod with a saucy situation of semi-dry cherry tomatoes I brought back from Italy, garlic, shallot & capers in white wine, plus a farro salad with roasted broccoli and fresh, marinated cherry tomatoes.
Healthy, hearty, cozy, and honestly? Tomatoes are very much still a vibe! 😍

My farro pro-tip: I always toast my farro in olive oil before cooking it in vegetable or chicken stock, and add in some sautéed garlic and shallot - the roasting, the stock, and the veggies add so additional flavor! 👩‍🍳 💋

Are you a fan of farro? I love that it’s nutty when toasted, and I like the larger kernels wayyyyyy better than quinoa. What do you think?

Happy first “Never Miss a Monday” of 2026, lovies! 👋
I love this mindset - it’s like saying “rise and shine and let’s gooooooo!” to the things we want to achieve this year. And I am here for it!! 🙌
So tell me: what’s your plan for your Monday?

My Favorite Things: Hilton Head Edition 😎
I ❤️ Hilton Head - and we love the quiet time there between Christmas & New Year’s when every day feels like “walk on the beach, eat seafood, nap, eat seafood, repeat!”
This year we decided to go full pescatarian for the week, and here were my favorite things:

Crab Legs Boil from The Crazy Crab Hilton Head
Peel & Eat Shrimp from the same!
Bonus: These are the best hush puppies on the island, hands down‼️

Seriously delicious mussels from dockside_waterfront_grill
The best fried shrimp on the island from the same

Bonus: Look at that sunset!

Completely forgot to document the Parmesan-crusted fish from charliesofhiltonhead - it’s my fave!

Happy NYE, my friends! 👋
This week has felt like a deep breath, a restorative nap, and a pause before what’s next.
I’m grateful for all this year gave me. I’ve grown and stretched myself so much — sometimes comfortably, sometimes decidedly not. 🙃
I’m incredibly appreciative of my husband, our wonderful family, and the fiercely loyal and hilarious friends we share this life with. 🥰
Today, I’m letting go of what wasn’t meant to stay and trusting what hasn’t arrived yet.
And tomorrow, I’m stepping into the new year with hope, compassion, and a little bravery, too. 🫶

What about you? What are you taking into next year, and what are you leaving behind when the clock strikes 12?

“The right shoes can make everything different.” 👟
I don’t know that Jimmy Choo was referring to sneakers, but I definitely got inspired to think where a new pair of exercise sneakers might take me in 2026!
I visited a local shoe store on Hilton Head, phillipsshoessc, and quickly found myself looking at the HOKA Bondi 9 running shoes. According to the brand, these sneakers are perfect for everyday runners and walkers looking for peak plushness and zonal breathability in a shoe that doubles as a walking sneaker when the pace slows down.
They are super comfortable and really have a ton of cushion, which was great when I was getting my 🍑 kicked on the Pickleball court the other day! 🤪 lol
These sneakers are definitely a bit of an investment, but I also feel like they’re an investment in myself and equipping me to get back into fitness on a consistent basis. 🙌 I did find them on sale online and have linked them in my stories in case you’re interested!

What about you? What do you do to get yourself motivated when you are looking to get back into exercise, add more exercise, or just add more movement to your life?

Happy Sunday, friends! 🫶
This morning I’m skipping the doom scroll, ignoring the Sunday papers, and instead I’m taking in the salt air, sand, and sound of the waves. 🌊
After the rush of the holidays—the expectations, the logistics, the emotions, the making sure everyone else is okay…. there’s often a quiet crash. The calendar flips, the pressure lifts, and what’s left is everything we’ve been holding.
This is *OUR* reminder that release doesn’t have to be dramatic. It can be a deep breath, a long walk, a good cry, a stretch, a moment of stillness. Whatever helps you let go… you’re allowed to take it.

Happy Sunday, friends. I love you, and I support you taking space for yourself and what you need! 🫶

Don’t be tardy for the darty! 🥳
To celebrate the holidays our friends got together for a “day party,” or “darty” and everyone brought a board to share!
Mine was a Southern biscuit board with pimiento cheese from thejunctionroscoe, smoked ham, whipped honey butter, and my mom’s homemade blueberry jam.
K brought potatoes three ways - hash browns, fries, and tater tots. Molly added frittatas, bacon & sausage and a cheese board and Scott brought a Hanukkah board from Zabar's with alllll the lox & bagels, latkes with caviar, and my favorite rugelach cookies.
So… we basically each made enough food to feed the whole party. 😂 Very on brand for us!

Have you ever had one of these board parties? I have so many ideas - Italian antipasto, Greek Mezze, Chinese Dumplings… what about you? What kind of board would you make?

Christmas Cranberry Spritzes! 🍾 If you’re belatedly celebrating the holidays this weekend or need a cocktail for New Year’s Eve, I love this festive Christmas Cranberry Spritzes and you might too!

It’s 1.5 ounces each of cranberry juice and Aperol, 4 ounces Prosecco, and a 2 ounces of club soda. Easy enough, right?

It’s sweet and bitter and bubbly - perfect for a festive holiday party, or to reward yourself for surviving the holidays!

What do you think? Would you try this cocktail?
