As the winter months approach, keeping our immune systems strong becomes a top priority—especially for families with little ones. As a mom myself, I started making theseT homemade immunity gummies to support the health of my little ones. And if we are being honest, myself too. We all know what kind of stuff our kids …
A mug of creamy, dairy free hot chocolate is the key to getting through these chilly, winter nights. Scratch that. It’s not even (technically) winter yet. I’ve got another 10 days before the official start of winter. But what it is, is a balmy 2°F as I write to you. The hubby and …
Football season is upon us! That means you need a good dip to serve up alongside your favorite team. Look no further, you’ve gotta try this Jalapeño Lime Almond Dip! Football season is all about football and appetizers. However, I’ve been feeling a bit left out. Over the last summer, I’ve struggled when it …
Today I am all about these Low Carb Baked Jicama Fries! Just the other day, I had the chance to walk through Trader Joe’s…WITHOUT ANY TIME CONSTRAINTS! If you’ve never been, this is one of those stores that’s fun to explore. They have unique, interesting finds, and the stock of their shelves is always …
It’s the end of the week here. You can always tell when the end of the work-week rolls in over here. The meals get faster and simpler as the days roll out. After all, who has motivation for elaborate dinners on a Thursday? If you know a person…send them my way! By simple, I mean …
Get your taste buds ready for one of my favorite summertime treats– Sweet Cinnamon Grilled Peaches! Summer is here. I need no excuse to whip my grill out any chance I get. I love a good burger, chicken kabobs, and even my fair share of grilled shrimp. Oh, and don’t forget the grilled broccoli …
I am a meatball girl you guys. Meatballs in my spaghetti, meatballs on my sub, meatballs appetizers; meatballs are my jam. Normally, you’ll be able to find a few bags in my freezer. You’ll even find a variety of homestyle, Italian, and vegan. I don’t discriminate with meatballs. But, I must admit, I don’t …
The first time I ever attempted cauliflower wings was about a year ago. My hubby and I were freshly back from our honeymoon where we made many “less-than-optimal” food choices. We were trying to get back on track with our eating patterns, but that can be hard to do. Especially at the end of football …
I may be a cool 27 years old, but sometimes it’s hard to grasp the concept that I’m an adult. Like for instance, I can no longer fly under the wings of my mother and let her take care of the dish to pass. Nope, I’m an adult. Gotta bring my own dish. You’d …
Ahhh so much inspiration behind these Baked Italian Slider Sandwiches. It is unofficially, officially National Sandwich Day. It’s the unofficial day of all things sandwich. Bring on the Reubens, po boys, and patty melts. Ugh, decisions, decisions, I tell you. Yes to the sandwiches! I have to admit, I’m not generally one to …
Oriental Peanut Chicken Roll-ups Welcome back you guys! I’m feeling fresh, relaxed and ready to get back at the blog. I got some much-needed girl time over the weekend. My friends from back home in Wisconsin came down to spend the weekend. I may have lived in Illinois for over a year now, but I’ve …
Our garden is literally coming out of our ears at this point. It is wildly out of control. The cherry tomatoes and squash have crawled out of our garden bed and taken over our deck. Literally, taken over! My deck is a scene straight out of the Tarzan movie. It’s been somewhat of a surprise …
It’s been a crazy couple days around here. After spending the last 10 days in vacation mode, the hubby and I are freshly back from our anniversary celebration and back to reality. Back to reality means back to routine and routine means taking care of the many piles of laundry, dishes and responsibilities left behind. …
Back home, my Fig and Goat Cheese Flatbread recipe may have gotten a few looks. I grew up in a very “meat and potatoes” household. While I can’t complain about a savory pot roast with a heaping pile of creamy mashed potatoes, my palette does crave some of the more creative flavors. If you’re not …
