Since we moved it's been a little slow-going getting back into the swing of cooking, especially healthy meals that contain things like vegetables and salad. Balanced eating took a detour for a few weeks while Wes and I lived out of a suitcase and Nate lived with a friend in Colorado while all of our stuff lived in a Penske truck behind a Springhill Suites. But now. Now we're in a house that has all of our stuff, a new fridge and a kitchen that's about twice as big as our old one. ... continue reading...
Cake & Frosting Cookies
True story: these cookies have 3 ingredients. The end. I mean guys, 3 whole entire ingredients. That means after about 2 minutes of mixing and 10 minutes of baking you have fresh hot fudgy awesome cookies that will make everyone around you jump for joy. Or, you know, from a sugar high. Whatever. They're jumping though, and it's because of you! This recipe stemmed from a donation to the Heather's Dish household of both a box of cake mix and a tub of ... continue reading...
Authentic Texas Crockpot Chili
Word on the street is that the minute we left Colorado, Fall happened and decided not to follow us to Little Rock. I don't know why it didn't follow us, but I have a feeling that's just something I'll have to get used to. Or maybe 80-degree temperatures actually IS Fall around here? At least the leaves are changing. And it actually rains here. I'll take it ;) Anyway, yesterday it was supposed to be cooler and rainy, so I made chili. Not just any chili ... continue reading...
Birthday Weekend Happenings
Thanks so much for all of your sweet birthday wishes and comments on my birthday post! I love that getting older means really being able to reflect on life and things that are important - so much better than just worrying if I'm going to get the pink Caboodle that I want, ya know? This past weekend was fantastic, and FILLED with amazing food and lots of fun. We kicked off my birthday weekend with lunch at Zaza Fine Salad & Wood Fired Pizza: First of all, the salads ... continue reading...
Things I’ve Learned in 29 Years
Today I turn 29 years old, and I can honestly say that I'm happier in life now than I ever have been. It's funny that each stage of life that I've ever lived in has always felt like the best, and then a year down the road I find that I'm much happier and much more comfortable in who I am. Sure, I get nostalgic sometimes and wish that things were like the good ol' days, but 99.8% of the time I'm truly happy in where I'm at right now. I remember a while back Joy the Baker had a ... continue reading...
Barilla Microwaveable Meals: My Moving Lifesaver
OK so first of all, like I said in the video: thanks for putting up with the iPhone and my shaky recording abilities. We'll blame it on the fact that I was hungry and that I'm still in the unpacking process for the rest of my life - too bad one day I'll have to stop using that excuse! Anyway, earlier in September I came home from our lake vacation to find a big fat package of Barilla microwaveable meals on our doorstep. It's funny, I feel like I only ever get packages in the mail ... continue reading...
Mexican Skillet Casserole
Back in the day - you know, 4 weeks ago - when my life wasn't turned upside down I was just a busy mom trying to take care of my sweet baby, work from home, keep things sort of clean and make a healthy and delicious meal all in one whole day. I mean really, what sort of crazy person can accomplish that? I'd like to meet that person and glean from them the secret to doing it all. Or maybe not. Because then what would you do? Nevermind. As much as I love cooking ... continue reading...
We Made It!
And now we're working on the frenzy of unpacking and taking care of a baby. Which basically means we're taking care of a baby and taking our time with the unpacking part :) This is my view as of now: So far in Little Rock I haven't worn any makeup, I have about 10 cardboard cuts on my hands, have averaged about 4-5 hours of sleep a night and have spent more time making sure that Wes and the dogs aren't freaking out than I have unpacking. It's been crazy. However, since ... continue reading...
Fall Lovin’
Hey, guess what? It's FALL. And I have to admit that after reading a bajillion posts about fall over the past few days I'm a little more than stoked about the regular pumpkin spice lattes, scarves, frosty mornings and falling leaves that come with this autumnal changing of the guard. I think the best way to celebrate would be to list out my favorite things from fall and some of my favorite links lately! FALL LOVES Pumpkin spice lattes (adoy) - but try making ... continue reading...
Bless Your Heart
Thanks for all of your sweet comments about our big move! We are really truly excited about it and I can't wait to explore a new city. I promise to write all about our new adventures in Little Rock - I think I see lots of kayaking, hiking, and camping coming our way! For the moment Wes and I are in Lubbock with my parents, so we've been going to all of our favorite places to hang and eat. One of my favorites ever is Bless Your Heart - I remember eating there on and off in high school, ... continue reading...
Life, Lately
Oh, hey there. You know, I didn't blog for a day and I feel like I've been missing you guys my entire life. Like I mentioned on Friday, life has been a little more insane than normal and I told you I'd share. So let's grab ourselves a cup of coffee and a comfy couch and chat about things. Here's the problem - I'm just not sure where to start. I guess at the beginning, right? Four years ago Nate and I moved out to Colorado to help plant a church. That's not something I talk ... continue reading...
Family Friday
Wes is going to be so happy that I showed y'all these pictures someday. Really. He'll be glad - he won't know it, but he'll be glad :) There are some pretty big changes happening in our neck of the woods these days, and I'm thinking I'll be sharing in detail on Monday when I've gotten more than a few hours of sleep and have had time to shower and do things like, oh I don't know, sit for more than 20 minutes at a time. To say this past week has been crazy would be an ... continue reading...
