Take a stroll with me through one of my favorite Arkansas farmer's market, and then check out the easiest way EVER to share and enjoy the bounty with these ricotta pies! Since cooking seasonally and locally is ripe with inspiration, I decide that sharing these late-summer treats is an even better way to spend my time and money. Ricotta pies are simple and versatile, and they make a fantastic canvas to showcase beautiful produce. It starts with a simple store-bought puff pastry, whole milk ... continue reading...

My friends! How's it going? How was your week? I gotta say, mine has been up and down. It's been relatively good but A is still working on beating this ear infection with a fever AND I think he might be teething his two-year molars already. OY. He's so flipping adorable, though, even when he doesn't feel well. And momma's not mad about the snuggles, amen? Question: have y'all ever made banana ice cream? Like out of frozen bananas? I've seen so many things lately featuring "nice ... continue reading...
An Adventure to Lake Ouachita
Friends, Nate and I have been bit by the lake bug. I've said it about a billion and a half times, but I'll say it again: we LOVE water. We love being around it, being on it, being in it, and teaching our boys to do the same. There have been studies done showing that exposure to blue space (bodies of water) over green space can boost mental health, and y'all? I can attest to that. I love green space - hiking, running, rolling in the grass, gardening - but there really is no relaxation like the ... continue reading...
Healthy Brownie Smoothie
Happy Monday y'all! I'm just checking in today with an increeeeeeeeeeeeeeedible smoothie for you. First let's talk about this little annoyance, shall we? I really really really hate when people say that healthy versions of things are just the same as the non-healthy version. Case in point: spaghetti squash. Now I can get behind spaghetti squash - it's good, has great texture, is a nice way to change up the weeknight dinner routine. But it does NOT taste like spaghetti, and is not ... continue reading...

And so it begins, my friends. Last weekend was fantastic, lovely, beautiful. Then we got home and voila! Everyone's sick and my poor sweet baby has a double ear infection that's actually a pretty bad one :( I just am praying that this isn't a sign of things to come this fall/winter. ALTHOUGH I will tell you guys what the doctor we saw told me. APPARENTLY there is a thing you can buy on Amazon called an ear check (this is the one he suggested) that can help you determine if you need ... continue reading...
What a Food Blogger Eats: Spicy Glazed Pork with Peppers and Pineapple
WELL HELLO! I realize I posted yesterday, but totally didn't Monday and Tuesday and feel like I'm so behind! When we got back from Branson we all came down with a cold - first W, then Nate, then A, now me. Now I'm pretty sure A has an ear infection so there's that. P.S. a word on ear infections: I never ever would have thought that I would pray for my babies to have ear infections but there's something a little easier to rest with when you find out they have one. There's medicine ... continue reading...
Exploring Our Own Backyard in Branson, Missouri
This post is sponsored by the Branson Convention & Visitor's Bureau and The Women Bloggers. All opinions are my own. Right now W has the book that was written by Laura Bush and Jenna Bush Hager, Our Great Big Backyard, and has since become obsessed with geography and adventure. If you know me at all this is humorous because I'm horrible at geography (if I haven't been somewhere then I have no idea where it actually is in the grand scheme of the world) and so my poor, unknowing little ... continue reading...

WHO IS EXCITED ABOUT FALL?!?! I'm so stoked I can't even let myself talk about it too much because I know this fickle Arkansas weather will only be playing games with my heart. BUT STILL. I can't wait. See, for me it's not about the pumpkin spice and scarves (although I do like those things) but just having the chance to get outside more without feeling like I'm going to die of a heat stroke. I miss pushing my boys up and down these crazy hills in the stroller, going to any ... continue reading...
Sesame Zucchini Noodle Salad
You'll notice in the recipe portion of this post that this is meant to serve two people. This is laughable for several reasons: It's too good to share. Double the recipe. It's all veggies and healthy stuff, so you can eat to your heart's content. Double the recipe. Because it's healthy and because it's too good to share, you'll want to at least quadruple it if you're sharing with more than one person. I just like to tell the truth, y'all! Really though? This is ... continue reading...
Honey Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes
Say hello to the first way I've ever eaten JUST tomatoes, ever. Granted they're deeply roasted with some simply amazing flavors, but still - it's a first I'm happy to embrace. Especially when I took these pictures and then promptly devoured the entire pan. I'm not even mad. That's amazing! (name that movie) See, it all started because my cherry tomato plant died from the weeks of hellishly hot temperatures July delivered. My eyes were bigger than my recipe at the ... continue reading...

I'm not trying to instigate anything here, but WHAT IS UP with the Olympics announcers this year?! How many dumb things will they say (or report)? I just can't even. And I don't actually want to talk about it. I just can't... In other news YAY for the weekend! This week has flown by for me after we got back from our trip last week. I'm going to eventually get some photos together and share all about it because we had a BLAST and I would totally recommend all of the things we ... continue reading...
Balsamic Glazed Pecans
I'm going to be completely cliche here and ask you guys: who else is watching the Olympics obsessively? Raise your hands high with me because I SURE AM! Like to the point where I'm leaving the TV on all day long because the way I see it this is a learning opportunity for my kids. Learn how to swim fast. Learn how to do hard things. Learn how to overcome adversity and be amazing instead. While I'm sure they will actually have to pay attention for the Olympic lessons to ... continue reading...
