Banana muffins. They've been done a bajillion times, and for good reason: they are pretty much always fabulous and they use up black bananas. Y'all know I speak the truth here: black bananas are pretty much the most annoying thing a kitchen can have. They attract fruit flies (blech!) and they're kind of squishy and just a little sketch. But banana muffins are the savior of the black banana. You can never make banana muffins with regular ol' sorta ripe bananas - it's ... continue reading...
Grace’s Sweet Life
A few weeks ago I received a copy of Grace's Sweet Life to review, and I have to say that I am SO glad to have it! Honestly it's one of the coolest cookbooks I've seen, completely dedicated to homemade Italian desserts. Besides the fact that the entire book is filled with incredible, delectable sweet treats, Grace's story is incredibly inspiring. She was born in Belgium, grew up in Ontario (where she now lives) and started her beautiful website in 2010 after overcoming an injury ... continue reading...
Blog Love: Root Beer Pulled Pork
Well guys, it's official. It's been literally like 4 days since I last showered. I realize that's pathetic on so many levels and proooooooobably the most pathetic part about it (besides the fact that I just publicly announced it on the WORLD WIDE WEB) is that it's not for lack of time. NO SIRREE. The lack of showering? Yeah it's because I'm way too busy letting my crock pot cook all of our meals and obsessively watching the fire reports on TV. And the Olympic trials. And ... continue reading...
Strawberry Shortcake for Two
Mmmmmmmmmk raise your hand if you love strawberry shortcake? I'm assuming that if you've made your way to this blog then it's likely that you're raising your hand - and that's what I want to see! Fist bumps all around. Strawberry shortcake is totally one of those things that sounds a little too fancy for me to make. Why? No idea. Maybe because a lot of times in life people have purchased a store-bought pound cake and topped it with strawberries and cream. And y'all? I ... continue reading...
Summer Peachberry Salad with Creamy Yogurt Poppyseed Dressing
I think it's probably a marketing rule that if you add the word "berry" to the end of anything it's an automatic hit. Which, you know, is why I decided to call this a peachberry salad. I figure we all need more salad in our lives, and I'm not above employing marketing tricks to get that to happen. Plus the dressing makes it feel totally naughty when it's really just a nice, healthy colorful salad. Tricks, y'all. I'm not above them! You guys, I know I've harped on this for ... continue reading...
She Reads Truth: The Surrendered Life
I have to put this out there: my life is being changed as we speak and I want that to happen to you too! Have you seen or heard of the She Reads Truth site, hashtags or Instagrams? It's a group of incredible women all digging into the Bible together to learn more about submitting their hearts and lives to Christ. And in short, it's amazing. The best part is that you don't have to have a blog to join in. Here's how to get started: Download the YouVersion app on your smart ... continue reading...
Saturday, Waffle Saturday
Please pardon my terrible play on theBloody Sunday lyrics. I just finished working out like a madwoman and I think I left some of my brain in the upstairs living room... Let's just get this out there: I'm not a big waffle eater. I don't really love sweet breakfasts (although I usually eat oatmeal anyway). If I'm springing for a really stellar breakfast and I can pick anything I want, I'm going for biscuits and gravy with eggs and hashbrowns every.single.time. It's how I roll - ... continue reading...
Family Friday
This week has been one of the most fun of mommyhood thus far! Our little nugget is developing more and more personality every day, and I love that I'm able to witness him grow literally by the hour! Here's a little listing of what's happening with Wes: He's grabbing his feet! Still haven't made their way to his mouth yet, but he's noticed them and has started grabbing hold of them. He's holding his head up big time now! Still kind of screams the whole time, but he's doing it. ... continue reading...
Loaded Cheeseburger Eggrolls
I don't know if y'all noticed, but I'm kind of obsessed with eggrolls lately. Need some proof? It's just something about that all-in-one bite that you get when you stuff one of those silly wrappers with oodles of awesome food. Plus you can totally make anything you want with them! Case in point: cheeseburgers. I love me some cheeseburgers, especially on the grill and especially in the summer. The only thing is that you only really ever have room for just one burger, which means that ... continue reading...
Blog Love: Thai Crunch Chicken Salad
I don't know why but I've always been a little bit terrified of making Asian food. Something about the spices and the soy and the fact that I still can't figure out how to cook rice to perfection in this darn altitude. Can I just say that rice packaging companies should have high altitude instructions on the rice bag? PUHLEASE. But one thing I CAN do lately is make a big fat salad and eat the heck out of it. Now if you've been reading this blog for a while ... continue reading...
Old Bay Salmon Cake Sliders
Here's something I never ever got before: sliders. Well, I say that I never GOT them, but the truth is that I totally love them. Clear as mud, right? That's what I thought. I'm so good with words... Here's what I'm trying to say: I love me some sliders. They totally go with the whole "if they're smaller you can eat more of them" concept that I'm completely smitten with. BUT when we go out and eat and sliders are available I never ever get them! Why? I got ... continue reading...
Baked Turkey Ricotta Meatballs
This weekend was WILD y'all. That's right, totally wild. I did crazy things like GO TO PARTIES and STAYED UP WAY PAST MY BEDTIME and CAME THISCLOSE TO DRINKING A VODKA TONIC. This all makes me sound sort of lame, right? Well let's just put it all in perspective real quick: we went to a going-away party for some very good friends of ours and took Weston with us. I had every intention of having a beer or two and then I forgot a vital part of Wes's bottle that keeps it from leaking ... continue reading...
