My friend, Lindsey found this recipe on Two Peas and Their Pod blog. She shared the recipe with our friend, Gretchen and me. Gretchen made it before I did and served it to our family and we fell in love. And we weren't the only ones they shared it with. We welcomed a large batch … Continue reading The Amazing Browned Butter Pasta

Welcome to the Table!
Welcome to our new spot! Cup-A Cup-A is becoming Community Table! It was time for a new look to our blog (it was getting stale) and it needed an upgrade. And we are so happy to have found our way to this clean, fresh start! Here's a little of the back-story. I turned 45 in … Continue reading Welcome to the Table!
Sunshine Kale Salad
I have a new recipe! It's like a Broccoli Raisin Salad/Kale Salad mash up. It was inspired by a salad we had at a restaurant recently. This is my attempt to recreate it. Dave and I went to Chattanooga several weeks ago for an overnight getaway! (A very rare occurance!) I haven't been there in … Continue reading Sunshine Kale Salad
Quinoa Bowls…Pass it On
When I find something great, I can't wait to pass it on! We have a new favorite meal at our house that I have been wanting to share with you for several weeks. These early dark dinner hours have made it really hard to capture the meal in photos in order to post it. So, … Continue reading Quinoa Bowls…Pass it On
Pizza!
Our family loves Pizza. We have it almost weekly, often on Fridays. In Nashville we have quite a lot of really good places to get pizza (Desanos, Five Points, Pizza Perfect, Mellow Mushroom, City House, Mafiaozas, Bella Nashville, and more)! We like trying different pizza, trying different toppings and styles of Pizza: thin and thick, simple, … Continue reading Pizza!
Summer Eats Post #1: Greek Potato Salad & Tangy Grilled Chicken

The lack of posting certainly isn't because of a lack of cooking. There has been much action in our kitchen… perpetual, and I have taken photos along the way, … Continue reading Summer Eats Post #1: Greek Potato Salad & Tangy Grilled Chicken
Chicken Chili on a Chilly January Day
I hope you are having a great start to the new year. Choosing Happiness is the goal that we set for this new year. On our road trip home on New Year's Day, Dave and I did some reflecting on 2014 and vision casting for 2015 and realized that last year was more of … Continue reading Chicken Chili on a Chilly January Day
BLT (+A) Sandwiches
It's Summertime. We love going to the Farmers' Market. And then coming home and thinking about how to eat the Farmers' Market for dinner. For summer meals, I just want to eat watermelon and corn-on-the-cob, honestly. (Of which we have been doing our fair share.) I know a sandwich doesn't seem like dinner food, necessarily, … Continue reading BLT (+A) Sandwiches
Rice & Bean Salad
Do you ever have a recipe that you adore and make all the time, and then for some reason or another it fades out of your repertoire? And then one day you think of it, or see the recipe and say to yourself, “Why haven’t I made this lately? I love this dish!” And then … Continue reading Rice & Bean Salad
Cilantro Sour Cream Dip and Tostadas
We have been having a lot of conversations lately in our house about whether foods are finger foods or fork foods. My 12 year old is the chief offender of eating with his hands. In his defense, he is a great eater and his messy eating struggles really have to do with the passion with … Continue reading Cilantro Sour Cream Dip and Tostadas
