I wait all winter long for the first warm sunny day when I can finally light up the grill. Yes, I probably do more of the grilling than my husband does, hehe. And seriously WHY does EVERYTHING literally EVERYTHING taste one thousand times better when it’s grilled?!? And after my watching my bestie buy her FIRST […] Read more…
Making energy bites for the week has become a part of my Sunday meal prep. Half of my Sunday afternoon is spent in the kitchen, but it’s so worth it when I have breakfast, lunch, and snacks prepped for the entire week. My husband and I typically both eat energy bites rather than a granola […] Read more…

So I used to always buy the generic marinara sauce at the grocery store because it was cheap and made for a quick and easy dinner. My husband enjoys spending time in the kitchen as well […] Read more…
The Oscars are on tonight and when I think of movies I think popcorn. My husband and I do not go to the movie theatre together very often, but when we do we definitely get some of that buttery goodness. In college we used to sneak microwave popcorn in our purses and hit the local […] Read more…
This morning I woke up to about 8+ inches of snow on the ground and it was 16 degrees out, BRRR. Luckily school was cancelled last night so we got to enjoy a nice sleep in. Every time we have a snow day my husband usually asks for a nice breakfast in the morning, so […] Read more…
My absolute favorite night of the work week is Taco Tuesday because I LOVE anything Mexican. We always make some sort of Mexican dish using any meat (chicken, turkey, pork, beef, or fish), Mexican spices (especially chili powder and cumin), fresh vegetables, and I either pair with tortillas, sweet potatoes, rice, or quinoa with our […] Read more…
