We’re doing all kinds of different today, because I have a very important public service announcement. And that is: If you are a parent, even or maybe especially of young children, take a kid-free vacation with your spouse or partner. Please. That’s exactly what Matt and I did a few weeks ago to celebrate his…

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
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…

But if you’re on the east coast, you, like I, are gearing up for a doozy of a snowstorm that should be dumping quite a bit…
Cheesy Enchilada Quinoa Casserole
It’s been a little bit since I shared a savory meal recipe on my blog, and with cooler weather gracing our evenings as fall rolls right on in, I’m thinking it’s time to spice things up and keep it cozy around here! A few weeks ago, my food dreams came true and I found myself with…
Buffalo Chicken Chili
Well this is different, yeah? I don’t have too many savory recipes on my blog, but they’re definitely there… Hidden between cookies and candy and Puppy Chow and even some healthier desserts. The reason behind that is… Dessert is my specialty. I have never been much of a cook (in the 4 years I lived by myself, I…
