Sweet Potato Buttermilk Drop Biscuits

Happy Friday guys! Some of you are out celebrating Black Friday and boldly going where I am still afraid to go: deep discounted sales where there are angry, hungry, caffeine-induced anxious crowds of people. More power to you; I think I'll just live vicariously through you on that one. ;)   If you're like me, though, you're sitting in your kitchen wondering how in the world you're going to outdo that amazing Thanksgiving dinner you had yesterday. You're probably thinking something ... continue reading...

Give Thanks

I'm going to be honest here: I hope you're not reading this on Thanksgiving. Unless maybe you just need a break to be alone for a few minutes, in which case I totally get it. But I hope you're getting to spend time with people you love, giving thanks in all circumstances for the incredible blessings you have. This year I have so very much to be thankful for, so I thought it would be fun to list it out and look back on it in years to come! God. I know that seems obvious, but I can't get over ... continue reading...

Blueberry Coconut Biscotti

First of all, did y'all see my Facebook and Twitter announcement that I was on a radio show? Monday afternoon I had the privilege of chatting with Dr. Deb Carlin about blogging and life - you can listen to the show by clicking here!   Second, can we take a quick poll? Who has set up their house for Christmas yet? We've been easing into it over here; Sunday I hung up our advent calendar and have been working hard on my first-ever Christmas wreaths since. I finally finished 'em up last ... continue reading...

San Diego: A Trip to Remember, Part 2

THIS TRIP WAS SPONSORED IN PART BY BUMBLE BEE TUNA. Actually Day 1 (travel, check-in, La Jolla, meeting new friends, salt air, seal smell, 5-o-clock traffic, workout, meeting jackie, dinner, bed) Ah, San Diego. I can't help but look back at these pictures and smell the briny salt air, taste the fantastic food and be reminded of God's goodness and answer to prayer. There are so many amazing things that happened, little nuances of regular life that made a big difference in the way I live ... continue reading...

Silky Vegan Pumpkin Soup with Fresh Apples and Toasted Pecans

I don't know about y'all, but I for one am completely in love with Jessi's theme for November, In the Thick of It. As a working mom, wife, leader, writer and overall sinful perfectionist I find myself in the thick of it daily, working hard for myself and then realizing, daily, that God's grace is what I need more than anything. Lately I have resorted to dealing with stress and anxiety via snacking constantly, sleeping instead of exercising, and otherwise not taking care of myself well. I'm ... continue reading...

Just Something Pretty

Happy Friday y'all! I hope your day has started off with an adequate amount of your favorite morning beverage (another cup of coffee and I'll be there...), smiles, hugs and love. That's cheesy, I know, but I do actually hope that for you!   At our house we're still a little blurry-eyed and sleepy, but I wanted to pop in with a pretty picture from my San Diego trip last weekend (I have the rest of those posts coming shortly!) and a list of the fantastic giveaways that are still up and ... continue reading...

A Post All About Butter + A GIVEAWAY

UPDATE: COMMENTS ON THIS ENTRY ARE NOW CLOSED AND THE WINNER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY PRIVATE SELECTION FOR KROGER, BUT AS ALWAYS ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. I remember the first time I ever actually liked steak: it was on my dad's birthday, and my mom made steak with a blue cheese and walnut compound butter that was smothered all over the top. As a kid I just didn't love steak - probably a flavor thing - but the moment that butter met the meat I was smitten ... continue reading...

Flourless Peppermint Mocha Cakes in Jars

I've made no secret of the fact that I once worked for Starbucks but a little-known story that I'm sharing JUST WITH Y'ALL for today (feel special yet?!) is that the first time I tried a peppermint mocha I almost died of happiness. I know how to make a mean white chocolate mocha, gingerbread latter, or eggnog steamer, but that doesn't mean those are my go-to drinks. I like things a little less sweet, a little more coffee-y. Basically I'm that annoying person who really loves the flavor of coffee ... continue reading...

Creamy Fiesta Corn Fettuccine Alfredo with Del Monte®

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED AND COMMENTS HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. THE WINNER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED; THANK YOU FOR ENTERING! When it comes to eating well around our house I like creating fun meals with fresh ingredients. Don't worry, we love us some pizza (every Friday!) and chicken wings and cookies, but for the most part we really try to eat well. That being said, I know I'm not the only one who has a hard time during the winter months getting great produce into our bodies. Sometimes a family just ... continue reading...

Seared Garlic Butter Pierogi with Creamy Dill Dip

It's no secret I love cooking. Not only am I lucky enough to do it for a living, but I am lucky enough to have a family who loves to cook and eat just as much as I do.   I know, how much more awesome could a girl's life get, right?   While Wes is still too young to stay interested in cooking for long there are so many times that he just wants to sit and watch what I'm doing in the kitchen. It makes me so happy to know that he cares and is interested in it because I'm hoping down the ... continue reading...
