Radish butter is one of those recipes that’s so simple it’s almost a ‘no recipe’ kind of recipe: radishes, butter whipped with herbs, salt, pepper. I told you. With three simple ingredients you can turn the lowly, nearly forgotten radish, into something worthy of spreading on a baguette – or […]
The Professor and I have been eating grain-free for nearly 3 years now; it’s been a game-changer in how we feel and has helped reduce the inflammation in our bodies. When we transitioned from gluten-free meals to grain-free meals, we initially made small changes – but over time, these changes […]
*Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Sabra. All content and opinions are always my own. We’re in the last few months of this year, friends . . . what-the-what?! Summer is winding down and I have to admit, it’s been a good one for us Smith Bites. Work projects haven’t […]

These little corn cakes are quite tasty – we’ve made them during the winter months with frozen corn but I have to say, made with fresh, just-picked, milky sweet corn, a little splash of kefir for a bit of tang, a little heat from green chilies and topped with a […]
We managed to make it through The Professor’s first year of teaching at a new university – but wow, this year has sped by super fast!! He’ll continue to teach this summer but with a lighter student load and shorter days which means we’ll have more time for the garden […]

It’s February, it’s Valentine’s Day week, it’s cold outside and there’s snow on the ground – pretty typical here in the Midwest. What’s not typical here in the Midwest, at least in this house, is that The Professor and I began a new exercise program in January and . . […]
Today began rather early – 3:30am to be exact; one of those nights where sleep is restless as I process the tasks completed yesterday as well as those left undone. I dozed from 6-7:30 and then it was time to be an adult. ‘Please don’t make me adult today’, I […]
We’re in the throws of winter here in the Midwest – although we managed to dodge big blizzard, ‘Jonas’, of 2016 and for that I am grateful (I mean seriously, 40-inches of snow in 24 hours?!!). However, there is something to be said about being snowbound while the white stuff tumbles […]
