Holy Macaroni is this Creamy Gouda Cauliflower Mac N’ Cheese good. I’ve played around with healthy macaroni and cheese before. Some good, some not so good. But, this one is definitely near the top. This one is even better than good. It could probably even fool you as the unhealthy version. Blame it on …
Okay you guys, I officially had a moment of weakness. I’m talking one of those “bored” eating moments. This past week I’ve been craving all the sweets in my free time. Give me all the chocolate. I am on day eight of isolation. The hubby has been on a fishing trip with the boys. Meaning, …
It’s Friday. Where are you going to go? What are you going to eat? These are staple, Friday night questions. The weekday grind has finally come to an end and it’s time to let loose. For me, Friday nights have always meant a fish fry. If you remember, I grew up in Wisconsin. Meaning …
As much as I like to cook, I don’t always have time to throw an elaborate dinner together. I’m sure you can related. Everyone needs a few quick and easy recipes up their sleeve. I’m talking about those delicious recipes that come in clutch to save the day. Especially when life happens to the …
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 …
Over the last few months, I’ve been dying to get my hands on an Instant Pot. If you’ve been on Pinterest, you’ve probably heard they are all the rage. Yep, me too. Basically, it’s a little wonder pot that can do it all. It acts as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, …
One of my resolutions for the upcoming year is to waste less food. I’m the kind of person who has sensory overload at the grocery store and ends up buying million things. You bet I would have stocked up on nearly every fruit and veggie on sale that day. Unfortunately, it’s hard for two people …
Do you ever get a bit nostalgic thinking about food as a child. Maybe some of your favorite meals shared with family. Or maybe even the food you had to choke down before you could leave the dinner table. For a long time, I wouldn’t be caught dead with pork chops in my grocery …
Goodness, what a whirlwind week! I can’t believe Christmas has come and gone. Every year I’m left feeling like the few days of Christmas were a dream. So much work goes into prepping for the holidays and here it has just come and gone. My Christmas this year ended up being shortened a bit. …
Welcome back! Hope you all are enjoying the week and that it hasn’t gotten too crazy. We are officially on the home stretch before Christmas. In between getting all the presents ready, planning a weekend of travel, and packing, it’s been a challenge to meal prep. I’ve been struggling to keep up with the breakfast, …
I tell you, it’s just been one of those days. Please tell me you all have Mondays like this. Thought I was off to a good start this morning. Woke up feeling refreshed. Had my lunch all packed and ready to go. I felt like I was on a roll. Normally, I start work at …
I’m generally a pretty boring person when it comes to cocktails. If you were to talk to my friends, my drink order is pretty predictable. Themed cocktails, fruity punches, and beer samplers don’t typically take the cake. You’d think since I started off working as a bartender, I would be into all different things. …
I always talk about how I’m not much of a breakfast person. I’m perfectly content with some fruit and Greek yogurt or a bowl of overnight oats. Just a no-fuss breakfast kind of gal. But today was a new day. Since I worked this past weekend at the hospital, I have a couple extra days …
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I was at a loss for what to do with my forbidden rice. And if you don’t follow me on Instagram, you should! Either way, I finally took the time to play and it paid off. I actually had zero intention of doing …
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 …
