We don't eat dairy in our house very often. But when we do, its on a pizza 🙂 When we first did a round of Whole 30, pizza was obviously out of our dinner rotation. Which is sad because I was just starting to be on a first name basis with everyone at our local [...]
Anyone else feel just a little bit relieved when you're husband's favorite football team isn't playing in the Superbowl? Don't get me wrong, I always hope for the Seahawks to win every week and make it to the big game but the couple of times they have made it, my husband has literally been a [...]
We officially have a crawling baby! Which means, my life is about to get a little more hectic. As of yesterday, Landon is on the move and ever since then he does not want to be confined in any way, not in the bouncer, not in the playpen. Just wants to be able to move [...]
I was really feeling that 70°F weather yesterday! And now...back to rain. I can't wait for more consistently sunny weather. I have so many projects I want to do outside, particularly, finally finishing the back deck. However, that requires paint, so I need to wait for a stretch of at least a few dry days. [...]
Happy 4th of July weekend!! With a 3 day weekend this year, I'm sure a lot of you are celebrating with friends and family and indulging in food and fun filled BBQs so I thought I'd compile a few of my favorite past recipes that we continue to go back to again and again, especially [...]
I was actually about to blog something different but saw photos of this frittata and realized I never shared it! Crisis averted 🙂 I made this as part of Easter dinner and it was delicious. Makes a great side dish or appetizer for a spring dinner party. On another note, my friend, J Soltman Photography, and [...]
This last weekend we celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday by throwing her a surprise party. It was so much fun to get all the family together for an evening of food, drinks and fun! I've never managed to actually pull off a surprise, to keep it a secret and all, but I'd say this was successful. [...]
It has been almost a month since my last post and I have missed you all SO MUCH!!!! Why is it when you get off track with your normal routine, it seems like such an undertaking to get everything back on track? The last 2 months have been...insane (does that sound too dramatic?). Yes, insane. [...]
Lately, I have been dreaming about getting away on vacation. Work is so crazy right now that its not going to happen anytime soon, but a girl can dream. Some of our favorite vacations were in Mexico and my absolute favorite thing to eat down there is fresh shrimp ceviche. After our last trip to [...]
I'm sitting here planning my calendar for the month of November...yes...November. #1 - I can't believe it is that close to Starbucks breaking out the red cups and holiday music playing in stores. #2 - I have some REALLY GREAT stuff planned for the month of November!!! I almost can't wait to share it with [...]
I got a text from my friend Nancy one day saying I had to try these shrimp. Nancy loves herself some shrimp, she is always trying different marinades and recipes on them when we go over for dinner. So when she told me I HAD to try this Bobby Flay recipe, I knew it must [...]
I spent most of the first day of summer cooking up a DELICIOUS 4 course meal yesterday and I have to say, I loved every single course! The appetizer was these little crostini with Camembert cheese and a fig spread. They were so flavorful but yet so quick and easy to prepare, a perfect appetizer for [...]
