I know that it’s winter and this might sound like more of a summer recipe, but I personally love it anytime of year! I like to make it into a big bowl and just serve it from there. The fresh greens and other ingredients really bring it together for a great lunch or dinner. If... Continue Reading →
Here we are. Just one day before Thanksgiving, yet it doesn’t really feel like it. Last year around this time I was making my last minute grocery list, having wine with my immediate and extended family, prepping food, and enjoying the feeling of company. I remember we planned to spend the whole day at my... Continue Reading →
Why not add one more Thanksgiving baking session in this week! Carter loves to help in the kitchen. And sometimes, when things are getting crazy around here, if I offer to bake or cook something? It works every time. It's probably the best thing to redirect to when he's feeling big feelings. These cookies are... Continue Reading →

This recipe takes your normal blueberry muffins over the edge! When we went blueberry picking, I knew I mainly wanted to use them to help amp up my recipes. This was one of them! These muffins actually have a fall taste to them too (I add a little spice in mine), so even if you... Continue Reading →
Do you ever have those mornings where you're rushing around trying to get everyone where they need to be on time, make sure everyone is fed (including pets), and everything in between! I look at this photo above and it honestly looks like we have it all together, but if I look closer, we had... Continue Reading →
I needed a new spin on our usual taco night at the house, so I decided to try this! It still involved the same ingredients we would use to make our regular tacos. I know every family makes their tacos a little bit different, or has a different variety of toppings! So feel free to... Continue Reading →
Well Happy Wednesday. What was supposed to be a little trip to the city with the kids, to make some returns and search for some house things, ended up turning into, well; just keep reading. We started the day with our usual breakfast at home. I packed a bag while the kids ate. Then we... Continue Reading →
