This past weekend was our special two-on-one with Miss V and we had a blast! Like last time with P, we catered the weekend to what she likes best of all, like building legos, doing our nails, playing at the park, and baking. We watched tv in the hot tub and stayed up late with hot cocoa. I’ve had this carrot cake recipe bookmarked literally since the day it was published back in 2018. Which may sound insane to some (slash most) people, but I think there are others out there like me…are you guys… Read more >

Oops, I made it again… I hope you sang that a la Britney. This cornbread stuffing was such a huge hit the first time, I had to make it again. SO GOOD. And while we are on the subject of repeats…here are a few things that have graced the blog plenty of times before, that I’ve enjoyed yet again recently. First, buttery english muffins. I’m committed enough to call this my fall/winter breakfast of choice. Also, the farro and kale salad. Meredith cheese was on sale last week so you KNOW I stocked up. It’s… Read more >

I’m sorry I didn’t do leftovers justice here on the blog, but we didn’t have too many! I gave the kids pumpkin pie for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving because that’s kinda what you do right?

He lives for my mom’s lima and green bean casserole! Anyway, I did have a bunch of the potato and cauli mash to use up (which, if you recall, wasn’t a… Read more >

I kinda fell out of the habit of blogging for a second there…blame it on getting back into the swing of the real world and dragging my feet during the process. I started the day with a cinnamon raisin english muffin and butter. For lunch I made a Brussels sprout saute and then added cheese and almonds on top. These almonds are THE BEST you will ever taste. They are perfectly coated in olive oil and (lots of) salt and I just can’t get enough of them. For dinner we had steak, risotto and sautéed… Read more >

If you know, you know. And if you don’t…allow me to explain. If you are in the know, you get an email from Nugget every Wednesday with a code for something deeply discounted that you can use the following Friday or Saturday. Many times it’s not something I care about or am interested in, but they do have some awesome ones. My personal favorite is when they do 50% off bulk bins. I go to town on those days. The second best is $1 chocolate bars. They rotate brands – in the past they have… Read more >
