Happy Father's Day to the awesome daddy who: taught me how to make "dead bugs and worms" (spaghetti with olives and mushrooms); put me in the garbage can at the ripe old age of one; made me write book reports in the summer to keep me sharp; instilled a love of Christ in my heart; made up goofy dances to make us laugh; taught us the value and importance of family; showed us how a man leads his family; brought out our competitive natures, and then showed us the importance of ... continue reading...
Whatcha Making for Father’s Day?
I am in LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE with this Father's Day menu from Cooking Light! I mean, who says it has to just be made for Father's Day? What about every other day of the year? :) ... continue reading...
Family Friday
How cute is this baby?! Wait, don't answer that because I already know - he's THE CUTEST! So first of all let me go ahead and say that I won't be doing any "official" update posts weekly anymore, BUT I will be doing Family Friday posts to talk about our weekly goings on. I love being able to look back at past posts and see how much Wes has grown and developed, which is exactly why I'll keep talking about life as a mommy. Plus it's kind of the most fun thing ever, being a mommy to this ... continue reading...
Brown Sugar Cookies with Sea Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate
Sigh. There are times that I wish I could just do things over again. Like the fact that I should have embraced my curly hair looooooooooong before I actually did. All of those bad yearbook photos and my poor, poor curling iron - it never expected to be used as a straightener. I also would probably not have pierced my bellybutton. I think I wore that thing for 2 years, got sick of it and just took it out. Now I have a random dot above my navel that is totally lame. And while ... continue reading...
Blog Love: Chocolate Cayenne Protein Snack Bites
Let's just start this post off with the obvious confession: these photos are not of chocolate bites. I'm sorry I'm not sorry though - they are phenomenal and it's probably a good thing that I didn't actually make the original recipe. If I had I have a feeling that I would have run out to buy more peanut butter and protein powder. And I might look a tad bit too similar to someone whose last name rhymes with 'marzenegger.' What do you mean 'marzenegger' isn't a ... continue reading...
The Land of Tea & Honey
Alright everyone, raise your hand if you loooooooooooooove tea? Because this Texas girl's got two hands reaching for the sky right about now! I don't know about y'all, but iced tea in the summer is pretty much the next best thing to water, only probably better because, well, it tastes like iced tea. I love me a big glass of water, but it's never gonna be tea, you know? The other day I received these fabulous samples of Lipton's new Tea & Honey collection to try and I have ... continue reading...
Asian Marinated Sock-Eye Salmon
Let's talk salmon y'all. I remember growing up and not eating a ton of fish until around the time that I was in high school and salmon had just come out of the super-food closet and was being touted as the best thing since sliced bread. So one day my mom picked some up, sprinkled it with Cajun seasoning and grilled that baby up - and we were in love. We had salmon once a week and fought over the leftovers, and I tried eating more fish - and succeeded. I was successful. At eating ... continue reading...
Grilled Chicken Couscous Salad with Red Wine Chipotle Vinaigrette
I only have one photo for you guys today, mainly because...well, because I ate alllllllllllllll of this salad (with a smidge of help from Nate) before I decided to take some time to actually photograph any more of it. And when I say I ate it, I mean I literally ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mixed it into big fat green salads. Ate it straight out of the container with a spoon. In fact, as far as spoons were concerned there really weren't any clean spoons in our house for ... continue reading...
Chicken & Rice to Celebrate Dad!
Next Sunday is going to be Nate's first Father's Day (well, first human Father's Day - we totally have been celebrating for the past 5 years because of Bunker and Keira. Furbabies count!) and I am seriously so excited to celebrate and show him what a fantastic dad and husband he is. I remember growing up we used to always try to make my dad's favorite dishes all day so that we could really feast and enjoy the day with him, and his favorite was his grandmother's chicken and rice recipe. It's ... continue reading...
Three Months Old!
WOW - how did we end up here? I mean, I suppose I know how so no need to go into the birds and bees in the comments section, but 3 months has absolutely flown by. I never really believed it until I looked down one day to realize that my sweet baby boy is growing like crazy and has quite the little personality! The weeks are passing so quickly; it's hard to believe that around this time last year is when we were about to find out that I was pregnant with him. It seems like such an eternity ... continue reading...
Champion Bras ROCK!
I'm not usually a snob about things, especially clothes. Old T-shirt from college intramural flag football everyday of the week? Don't mind if I do. Workout clothes are the new black, you know. And what about the fact that even though I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to clothes that I love, I wear pretty much the same thing every time I leave the house. Hey, whatever - I'm a new mom. That makes it OK, right? I can just see Stacey and Clinton showing up to our front ... continue reading...
Italian Sausage and Spinach Stuffed Shells + GLAD Freezerware
Man alive have I got a super simple and ridiculously yummy recipe for you guys today, and the great news is that it's freezable and reheatable and all that jazz. Trust me, you want this. I don't know why but I never have actually made stuff shells before. We used to make manicotti in our family for things like Mother's Day and I would literally sit there and eat the filling while my parents did all the work. It's just so stinking delicious! And yet I have never made it on my ... continue reading...
