...getting real about the way we live, love, and eat...
These days, I’m all for any meal that I can prep and have on the table in ten minutes or less… Finding meals like this to create however can sometimes be a challenge (unless you just really love PB&Js as much as my husband). Thus, I was super happy when my mom reminded the otherContinue Reading …
It’s official, ya’ll. I’m officially into trimester numero deux of this little thing called pregnancy… and the joy in my heart grows every day. But, before I get ahead of myself – I still need to recap all of the swoops and swerves of the first trimester for you fine, oh-so-very-patient folks. So here goes.Continue Reading …
Friends, it has been a while. …and I could share a million words and thank you’s for sticking with me through these “quiet times”… because really, you guys are just wonderful. I feel SO incredibly blessed to have the readers I have, whom though I have never met many of you, I consider friends (bigContinue Reading …
*I’ve been guest posting it up this week – and have to say that the recipe I created for this post might quite possibly be the new family favorite. Make sure to check out the full post at MAM! I have a confession to make. Before my real food days, I was a die-hard boxedContinue Reading …
To this day, one of my favorite movies is the Disney classic “Snow White”… …and not because of the handsome prince or the romance of “true love’s kiss,” but because of the joy I feel in my heart when I see Snow White take the dwarves’ drab, dirty little cottage and turn it into aContinue Reading …
While I write a little “love story” about each month – I feel like it’s even more appropriate than ever in review of a month that is all about celebrating love! In my little piece of the world, February has been a month full of love, laughter, and bipolar weather (one day it was 70Continue Reading …
If things have been a little quiet around here lately… it’s because I’ve been immensely under the weather. Like nose running, throat sore/itching, sinuses/lips/face swollen, body-congesting, cough-inciting, stomach-cramping, hives-causing, asthma inducing, can-somebody-please-put-me-out-of-my-misery sick. All because of a stupid orange. Picture this: The sun is streaming down through the trees as a light breeze caresses yourContinue Reading …
Have you ever taken a bite of something that seems to literally wake up your taste buds? Vibrant in color, texture, and flavor… this salad will do just that with every perfectly loaded forkful (my favorite thing about chopped salads is you can get a little bit of everything in each bite)…not to mention theContinue Reading …
There’s nothing like creating a little something sweet for that sweet someone in your life. Since my handsome man and I don’t get to celebrate Valentine’s day on the actual holiday this year, we’ve been trying to do a variety of sweet things for each other in the days surrounding. We’re hoping to have ourContinue Reading …
My handsome husband and I are potato people. I guess you could even call us Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head. We like the flavor, texture, versatility, and fills-me-up goodness… but perhaps most of all, I love that they are budget friendly. Among the many things I have learned on my journey to becoming a realContinue Reading …
