Because as much as we all wish it was, life is not all about muffins, cookies, cakes, or even skinny treats. There has to be balance, and this week, that balance comes in orange, purple, and green. Like… Look at those colors! This was too beautiful not to share with you! I wish I could…

Summer Pasta Salad
Ah, summer. The best time of year for food, don’t you agree? I mean, fall is my favorite for tastes (duh), but summer is full of fruits and vegetables and they’re all CHEAP. Which is great for the belly, the body, and the wallet. What’s your favorite summer produce? We, the toddler especially, are loving…
Breakfast Enchilada Bake
Well, this is my first official post as the mom of two kids on the outside! Our second son arrived 3 days before his due date on Thursday last week, so we’re fully immersed in the two-under-two life for another month until Big Bro turns 2. So far, so good, though I’m certain our veteran…
Instant Pot Applesauce
I have a big huge complaint to file with the applesauce makers of the world. “No sugar added” applesauce that is CHUNKY is seriously hard to find, and it really shouldn’t be!

Instant Pot Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry
Holy moly, this month has been a whirlwind at our house! I haven’t shared a NEW recipe with you in 3 weeks because moving completely kicked our butts. Anyone else hate moving but then forget why you hate moving? It’s the unpacking. The unpacking is the absolute worst because now you have one million things…
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oatmeal

Instant Pot Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
You might have seen on Instagram or Facebook this past weekend that Santa brought me an InstantPot (affiliate link!) for Christmas. So far, I’ve used it a handful of times to make fairly basic things, but I want to get really comfortable with it in order to 1) actually utilize it properly 2) branch out in…
Piña Colada Coconut Macaroons
Well, I don’t really know about your neck of the woods, but ours, we got our first legitimate snow this past weekend. Probably only about 2-3 inches, but it was enough to mess up afternoon plans and left mostly just wet roads by the evening, but it came and went and left its pretty mark…
