I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.

I love how vintage-y and retro everything looks in these photos – right down to the couch! I love my old Betty Crocker cookbook for the same reasons.

Okay, I don’t normally look at anything besides food in pictures, but for once I must ask…do you know where you/someone/whoever got those beautiful goblets being used in a few of the pictures? I’m trying to find some to go with the china from my wedding registry and absolutely love those!
