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 Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry

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…
Zesty Cucumber Salad

And maybe there’s a turkey involved, but if you’re not the one in charge of that, there is plentyyyy…
Traditional Bread Stuffing
It’s officially official, friends. We have less than a week until that wonderful holiday that’s all about eating and spending time with family and friends and being so gosh darn thankful for everything we have that we must eat and drink until our eyes fall out. Right? Isn’t that how it works? I don’t know…
Baked Turkey & Cheese Sliders
If there is one thing I have come to appreciate more than ever these days, it’s quick-prep meals. I mean, not that I’ve ever been a huge fan of laboring over a hot stove or oven to get a meal on the table, but ever since our toddler learned to walk and ask “dis?”, we…
