I spent the better part of a month last fall testing apple pie recipes, determined to find the best one. My dad happened to be dropping my kiddos off at our house right when I pulled this Caramelized Apple Pie out of the oven. He said it looked just like the kind of pie his mom used to make. And that’s all I needed to hear. This is the coziest apple pie around. Make one this weekend and share it with the ones you love. ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We are mourning the loss of my dad, the goofball wearing my kid’s sunglasses, who passed away last week. It still feels impossible I won’t hear his laugh again. We are broken-hearted, but surrounded by the love of family and friends. I’ve revisited this quote from James Finley many times the last few years, and it has been a comfort and mantra for me this last week. Praying for courage and tenderness in the days ahead.

“If we are absolutely grounded in the absolute love of God that protects us from nothing even as it sustains us in all things, then we can face all things with courage and tenderness and touch the hurting places in others and in ourselves with love.”

Day 3 of Barbacoa leftovers (yes, there’s still more! 😍🤣): Mexican Beef Stew. This was @mr_neighborfood’s favorite recipe we made, and for good reason. This stew uses the spicy broth from the barbacoa to make a super rich and flavorful stew AND because the beef is already made, the stew comes together in 30 minutes instead of 2+ hours. Save this one for a chilly night! It’s so comforting!

(#ad) Recipe with @ohiobeef can be found at the link in my bio!

It’s been quiet around here lately. It’s felt strange and disingenuous to post a cheery picture of our dinner when so much in our world feels heavy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been wrestling with what it means to live faithfully in my small, comfortable life. What does it look like to love my neighbors in this specific time, in this specific place, with my specific resources and gifts? It’s a messy question, and one I imagine I’ll be thinking and re-thinking throughout my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For now, I have tried to ground myself in what I can do—gather people at the table, foster conversation, practice curiosity and learning, give generously, and offer plenty of space for myself and others to both grieve and rejoice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started NeighborFood because I love to cook (and eat!), and also because I believe in the power of food to lower our defenses and build unlikely community. I still believe God meets us in the ordinary moments—when we’re crowded around a table with sippy cups and wine glasses, sneaking in bits of conversation between blowing off someone’s “too hot” food and picking up the baby’s fork off the floor…again. I want to be open to the holy in the mundane, the opportunity for tiny acts of mercy, grace, and justice in the day to day.

So here, awkwardly, I bring you Pizza Chicken--an every day, ordinary dinner. May it nourish your family. May it make your weeknight a little easier. May your belly be happy and your soul filled with good conversation. May your kids eat and not complain or whine for dessert. (Tiny miracles, my friends!) May you find God in the small moments, hold space for those big, messy questions of faith and faithfulness, and have community to share it all with.

We have been soaking up these last few weeks of summer before my oldest starts Kindergarten (queue all the feelings about time slipping from your grasp like grains of sand, etc etc 😭😭). Today we ventured up to Hartford, OH for their fair. It was a taste of all the things we love about the fair—the food, the animals, the rides, the giant vat of lemon shakeup, and of course, plenty of complaining about the heat. 🤣 If you’re needing a fair fix, this one runs through this weekend and is only a 40 minute drive from Columbus. See my stories for more of the fun!

Today, we celebrate with bumbleberry pie and sparklers and cookouts and sunshine. We also celebrate by telling the truth about our nation’s past and present, honoring the good, and always hoping and working towards better. We celebrate by acknowledging our independence relies on interdependence. My freedom is forever bound to the freedom of my fellow citizens and citizens-in-waiting. We hold in tension our gratefulness and love for this country, and a desire to see it live up to its highest ideals. What I’m trying to say is—it’s messy, y’all. 🙃Eat pie and love your neighbor, today and always.
