Family, Fun, Food, and Home Design
A meat and cheese tray is my go to for any size gathering. They are so versatile and can be scaled up or down for any size budget or amount of people. I did one at our Christmas party last year and do them often, even if we just have another family over for a [...]
We love going to The Yard House. My husband and I love the food and beer selection, the girls love the special treats that come with the kids meal. I decided to recreate their recipe but make them into easy Halloween Rice Krispie Treats, perfect for all of the Halloween activities we have coming up [...]
I have a bit of a cookbook addition. So when my girlfriends were raving about The Whole Smiths Good Food cookbook, I had high expectations. I spent a week cooking lots of different recipes from it, I wanted to be sure that I could give my authentic opinion on it based on all the content, [...]
Another week done of the Whole30 challenge. I have mixed emotions about it. A lot of the changes that we've made have gotten easier. Pulling together a full breakfast, adjusting my coffee to a non-sweetened creamer (don't get me wrong, I still miss my Ripple Vanilla creamer), not having mac and cheese as an easy [...]

This post contains affiliate links. Pistachio Delight dessert was a childhood favorite in our house. I still get texts from old friends asking me for my mom's recipe. Just like my chili and chicken soup, this dessert is super nostalgic for me, it's a great treat to bring for an Easter or Mother's Day brunch, [...]
Cheesy stuffed meatloaf is one of my family's favorite dinners. Growing up, our comfort foods where soup and chili but meatloaf was always a good comforting meal. I know I've stumbled on something good when even my Mom calls me to make sure she's making my recipe right. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when [...]
This post contains affiliate links but they are all products that I use in my daily life. One of the things that I think my husband and I have gotten pretty good at is meal planning. He likes having the week planned out and I like having a full fridge - especially now that I'm [...]
