I’m a writer and former magazine editor who lives, works, cooks, prays, and reads in a 1960s ranch in Nashville, Tennessee. I’m a Midwesterner. My husband, Brad, works in media and holistic nutrition. We both love to cook, we both love family, we both believe in God and His goodness, we both really like bread. I really like chocolate.
What’s on this blog is simply how we live life. It’s the way we eat, it’s how we cook, it’s what I’m reading, it’s what God is teaching me, it’s how obsessed I am with imported British television shows (and how Brad graciously puts up with it). I’m not an expert on anything–I just like to talk a lot.
Curious about what I’ve talked about in the past?

What’s the story behind the name “honey and salt”? By God’s grace, I want my words to be both sweet as honey and as powerful as salt. Humbly, I hope that this will be a place of grace, as pleasing as honey.
Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. (Proverbs 16:24)
I also hope I’ll have the courage to be bold and say the unpopular truth when I have it in me, as potent as salt.
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. (Colossians 4:6)
And I bake with both those ingredients a lot.
