If you’re from the South, you might be wondering what in the Sam Hill kielbasa is and how you’re supposed to pronounce it! Most of the people I know in East Tennessee call this “smoked sausage.” Up North, in Ohio and the surrounding states, where most of my extended family lives and where I wasContinue reading “Turkey Kielbasa One-Skillet Dinner”

Porch Tiered Pots & Sign DIY
My rental home has an interesting layout. The kitchen door of the house is, by the blueprint, a side door. The front door is in the living room. However, the family who built the house was rather clever. The best view faces away from the road and driveway, so they positioned the house to purposefullyContinue reading “Porch Tiered Pots & Sign DIY”

If you’re familiar with my blog or you follow me on social media, you know I have a long-standing and loving relationship with Italian foods. I love tomato sauce, noodles, Italian sausage, Italian bread – I love it! My boyfriend is going to feel totally played when he reads this week’s blog – because he’sContinue reading “Homemade Lasagna”
Top 5 Parent’s Choice Baby Products to Use
Y’all – I am living that single mom life. Technically, I co-parent with my son’s father, but we’re fairly separate about it overall (save for updates on milestones and obviously sharing wellness/medical information), and I’m living life at the present with multiple jobs and lots of bills on one set of shoulders. I’ve gotten prettyContinue reading “Top 5 Parent’s Choice Baby Products to Use”
One-Dish Mexican Chicken
I love chicken, and I LOVE Mexican food. Right now, with COVID-19 precautions and stay-at-home mandates, I am seriously missing the comforts of my favorite local Mexican restaurants.

Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
A hot bowl of soup may seem like a winter food to many, but I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t think that food has to be limited to seasons. I can eat ice cream in the middle of winter with a hoodie on while I binge watch Netflix. I can drink a mug ofContinue reading “Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup”
Homemade Meatballs
I am a huge fan of all foods Italianate! I love meatballs – in pasta, in a sub, as an appetizer. So I decided to try homemade meatballs recently. I was terribly nervous because everyone says that meatballs are so similar to meatloaf – and, confession: I’ve never made a good meatloaf. They always fallContinue reading “Homemade Meatballs”
Affordable Closet Organization
We all have a spot in our houses (or many, many spots) that is a total DISASTER ZONE. I’ll be honest – I have two personalities when it comes to cleaning and organization. #1 – The slob my parents saw while raising me. The Barbie graveyard in the basement playroom, the dirty clothes heaps, theContinue reading “Affordable Closet Organization”

With COVID-19, I know a lot of you are at home – whether you’re temporarily without income or working remotely, either way, you are likely getting a lot more facetime with your little ones. If you’re a stay-at-home mom regularly, your facetime has shifted to less out-of-home adventures, which probably feels a little limiting. Personally,Continue reading “5 Things to Do at Home with Your Toddler”
One-Pan Chicken & Veggie Recipe
Growing up, my family almost always had dinner around the table. My mom would make dinner at least five times a week (if not more), and we would sit around her round wooden table and eat. More importantly, we would fellowship. We would catch up about each of our days, joke, and laugh. Several monthsContinue reading “One-Pan Chicken & Veggie Recipe”
