Out of all of the desserts available to us in the world – and, yes, I know there are a lot – I consider myself a true fan of two: ice cream and cookies. My parents got my husband and me an ice cream machine for Christmas, so maybe, after we’ve had some time toContinue reading “Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cake-Batter Cookies”

Oregano-Buttered Eye of Round Steaks
I love a steak dinner. Ya girl isn’t one to go out to a nice meal and skip the steak to look like a lady with a salad. No, no, no. I like a nice steak. But let’s be real: I’m not buying filets for weekly dinners at home. I can’t afford that, and evenContinue reading “Oregano-Buttered Eye of Round Steaks”
Pumpkin Patch Cake Activity
It’s October, and that means it’s time for PUMPKINS! Do y’all love fall? I love the cooler weather, the crewneck sweatshirts, the natural colors, and the vegetation, including pumpkins. I wanted an activity to welcome the autumn season but that would be both appealing and appropriate for my little one. He loves to bake (heContinue reading “Pumpkin Patch Cake Activity”
Kickin’ Chicken & Veggie Pasta
I have been really wanting some pasta – but something different. Today, I decided to get a little creative with dinner. (Thank goodness it turned out okay because what else was I going to share on the blog today?!) I want to share a slightly spicy, veggie-heavy, light-sauced chicken and pasta recipe with you! You’llContinue reading “Kickin’ Chicken & Veggie Pasta”
A Sweet Summer Strawberry & Apple Salad
Here’s the truth, y’all. I want to be someone who LOVES healthy food. But I am really someone who loves almost ALL food. I wish I craved salads, but I think that’ll only happen if I’m ever dealing with scurvy. I say that, but I actually love fresh fruit and vegetables. I just need toContinue reading “A Sweet Summer Strawberry & Apple Salad”
Easy Loaded Mashed Potatoes
Y’all, easy recipes are my FAVORITE. Let’s make it taste homemade, but EASY. (Anybody remember the Staples “easy button?”) One dish that I can save some time on is mashed potatoes. Sure, you might be like “duh, instant,” but here’s the deal – I don’t like instant mashed potatoes. I like homemade, creamy, lumpy mashedContinue reading “Easy Loaded Mashed Potatoes”
Simple At-Home Charcuterie Board
People say charcuterie boards are just grown-up lunchables… and as a true 90’s kid, I am 100% okay with that! Before I jump into how I make my at-home charcuterie boards, let’s get one thing straight – the pronunciation! In every conversation where these come up, people STRUGGLE to figure out how they’re supposed toContinue reading “Simple At-Home Charcuterie Board”
Cheese & Barbecue Smothered Chicken
I’ve recently pulled one of my old recipes back out to the forefront of my kitchen. My cheese + barbecue smothered chicken was a dish I made often when I moved into my first apartment and then was married to my first husband. I hit a rut recently, making a lot of the same dishesContinue reading “Cheese & Barbecue Smothered Chicken”
Mexican Rice Bowls
I’ve been making these Mexican Rice Bowls for dinner often for over a year now – and I have no idea why I haven’t shared my super easy recipe! If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook (and you should), you may have even seen these featured in a photo post, but I haven’t everContinue reading “Mexican Rice Bowls”
Pizza Crescent Rolls
We are a pizza roll family in my house. Maybe it’s because Jake and I are both 90’s kids and they’re nostalgic – or maybe it’s because we’re snack-lovin’ people… But no matter what the cause is, we’re a snacking crew when it comes to streaming shows or watching a game, and my easy crescentContinue reading “Pizza Crescent Rolls”
