As I sit here writing this, it’s 55 degrees and sunny out. I am itching to get outside but have too much to do inside. Don’t you hate that? We have the perfect little library in our neighborhood. It’s small, cozy, clean and the kids beg to go there every week. Since it’s so close…
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Mug Cake for Two
Hey friends! How was your weekend? We didn’t do much- a little work for me and the hubs, a lot of fighting for the kids- they are at that age where they just annoy the heck out of each other and it’s so frustrating! and some binge watching of Homeland for us (the series we’ve…
Migas {Tex-Mex}
Fact- it’s hard to make scrambled eggs look pretty in pictures. I’m obviously craving all things Mexican these days. Ever since our Mexican food extravaganza on Christmas eve I can’t get enough. I never really talked about our holidays, but they were wonderful. The hubs had off the whole two weeks from work and it was…
Molasses Cookies
I always thought it would be fun to host one of those Holiday cookie exchanges where guests bring dozens of one kind of cookie and swap them with the other guests so that each person goes home with a nice variety. However, somehow it’s 8 days away until Christmas and I am not sure organizing one…
Fire-Roasted Tomato Vegetable Soup
You know those times when you have NO food in the house or at least so it seems. You just stand there staring in the pantry, opening and closing the refrigerator and freezer door waiting for something to jump out at you. And nothing really does, because you don’t have time to defrost the meat,…
Baked Taco Dip + Giveaway
Thanks to Mezzetta for sponsoring this post. Traditions….they’re wonderful aren’t they? Now that I have kids of my own I’ve tried to create some of my family’s own holiday traditions. Of course food plays a big role in that. There are so many wonderful memories associated with food. I love to think back at my childhood…
Baked Sweet Potato Chunks with Oregano
Hello and Happy Friday! I love going to others peoples’ houses for dinner because you just never know when you’ll be introduced to something that you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. So my friend and I used to coordinate dinners while our husbands were out of town for work and I went over to her…
Black Bean and Veggie Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Potty training. That basically sums up our weekend. This is my third kiddo going through potty training and I’ll have to say it is going really well! We talked about it with him for several weeks before and told him when he turned 3, we wouldn’t be using diapers anymore. I think all that preparation paid off,…
Carrot Soup {Vegan, Gluten Free}
Sometimes eating healthy food that you know is good for you makes it taste even better. I kind of feel that way about this soup. I mean it’s not a cheeseburger, but it makes me feel good and healthy. That’s pretty important in my opinion! I get carrots in my CSA box every week. Giant…
Pumpkin Cream Cheese
I was at Target the other day….can we just pause for a moment and talk about how great Target is? No, we don’t even have to, it’s just known to all. I love that I can go and get toiletries, cute clothes and a few groceries if needed. It’s my happy place…as long as I…
