I didn’t really know what to think when I agreed to review these pants… They are so NOT me.  At all.  But they looked mega comfy and I knew my sister would want them if I didn’t like them.  She’ll still probably “borrow” them quite a bit, but I have to say, I’m kinda in love with their comfort.  I mean helloooo they have a stretchy waistband.  Awesome.

I made these for a pre-trick or treating get together so naturally I… Read more >

I feel like I need more vegetables in my life.   This past week was just SO dang packed with candy and sugar and (leftover birthday) treats.  Oof. Here are the dinners I made. Taco salad.  Again.  Can’t get over how simple the salsa + chicken in the crockpot is.  And it makes perfectly shredded flavorful chicken that pulls apart in seconds.  At least there was lettuce.  Chips were plentiful as well.
