Weve felt like spring in Virginia since, oh, February 1st. Despite the incredible temperatures, it was just last week that suddenly, happily, grilling season hit me hard. Im not sure if it was the tr...
Hello! Hi. Remember me? Ive been busy. I promise, there are a few recipes queued up for you here at Bella Eats and it is my goal to post them this week. But first, I am so excited to share a project ...
On Monday I had the opportunity to bake alongside a professional baker. A real, owns-her-own-shop, specializes-in-sweets, baker. Tara, of Sweethaus in Charlottesville, invited me to be a guest b...
Goodness, I am not doing so well in the beauty department with the recipes Ive shared in 2012. But again, this one is worth trying even with the overall brownness of the dish. It is relatively quick ...

Happy holidays, friends! Wow, they sure snuck up quickly this year. Brian and I are staying home in Charlottesville after having traveled to see family in Florida for Thanksgiving, and I truly though...
I love finding quick, delicious, impressive snacks to make on a whim. It can be dangerous, sure, to have an arsenal of last minute recipes from which to choose whenever the mood strikes you for a sal...
Gosh, I seem to have been in some kind of post-Thanksgiving funk these past 2 weeks! There was that big push to get recipes out to you before the holiday, and then I stopped cooking. Seriously, I was...
Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I hope you are all enjoying a leisurely morning of coffee and cooking with loved ones. We are about to embark on our meal prep, after a bit of time invested last ni...
I have been a little obsessed with ricotta cheesecake lately. Ive made it several times, trying out a few different recipes, tweaking as I go. Ive landed on one that I love but cannot see...
Amidst the turkey, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, stuffing, and rolls, the color green is often lost on the Thanksgiving table. I love this casserole as a hearty alternative to turkey for ve...
And here it is friends: recipe number 2 of 5 in 5 days...my very favorite sweet potato recipe yet. Oh. Yes. Its no secret around here that I like bread pudding. There are already two vari...
Thanksgiving is just one week away. One week! So shocking. I have a list of recipes queued up and ready for you all, all dishes that would accompany a roasted turkey beautifully. In order to get them...
I have had this post queued up and ready to go for the last two weeks. Two. Weeks. The problem is, two weeks these days feels more like two hours. Time is flying faster than Harry Potter chasing the ...

My goodness...I should not have underestimated the powers of a beautiful salad! Thank you all for your sweet comments and enthusiasm. I wont lie, I fully expected to receive a whopping 2 comments on ...
And this, friends, would be an example of an AHubb meal. Or, an AHubb meal following a couple of weeks of BHubb meals, multiple food-centered editorial assignments, and a day-long photoshoot involvin...
We have a special category for certain types of meals in our house: BHubb meals. As in, thats a BHubb dinner, which tranlates to thats the kind of dish that makes Brian, aka BHubb, a happy man. Typic...
I mentioned last week that Id be giving a little chat about food photography underneath the Relay Foods tent at the Heritage Harvest Festival last Saturday. Since so many of my readers are not local ...

Tomorrow is the Heritage Harvest Festival at Monticello, the first of Charlottesvilles fall celebrations that add to my love for the season. This year I will be giving a little workshop/demonstration...
Last weekend, Brian and I may have discovered our new favorite breakfast. In fact, had there been bacon crumbled across the short stacks occupying our plates I feel certain that I could have wr...
Tomato season is coming to an end, a time which, for me, is bittersweet. I am at the same time sad that Ill have to wait another ten months for full-flavored, raw tomatoes to grace my plate, and plea...
I am thrilled and flattered to have been asked by Lisa of A Dinner Party to participate in her Whats For Dinner series. Just look at her list of past participants...wow! Thank you, Lisa, for includin...
I hold a firm belief that berries + citrus are one of the best combinations ever. Right up there with caramel + sea salt, peanut butter + banana, tomatoes + pasta. Its a shame that their seasons are ...
