My goal for Saturdays is to blog. And whether it’s one post or a couple I save up – I enjoy writing and want to write for fun and not always for work. Food Meal planning is a struggle and so is keeping our food budget in check. It’s constant work in progress and I … More Currently
Martha Stewart’s Instagram account is amazing and ALWAYS makes me hungry. I’m constantly saving her posts to make a meal later. This breakfast casserole is a recent example and a big hit at Easter. I find breakfast food much less stressful to make than anything else and often host brunch when we have company so … More A Brunch Must
Do you follow Martha Stewart on Instagram? It will definitely make you hungry. I’m constantly taking screenshots of recipes to try later. This Pull-Apart Bread was my most recent attempt and it turned out far better than I imagined. I don’t make bread and I’m always intimidated by any recipe that includes yeast but since … More Easy Pull-Apart Garlic Bread & 5 Pasta Recipes to Make With It
Nothing says budget quite like Ramen but in addition to being affordable this make-shift recipe is delicious, includes protein and even vegetables (which is needed in our house). The meat portion is based on Damn Delicious’ Korean Beef Bowl but I changed it up a little. Since most of these ingredients are staples of our … More Korean Beef Casserole
It’s hard to believe Christmas is only days away! Where does the year go? Here a few things I’m enjoying/admiring these days. Maroon 5 is hands down my favorite band and while my attention is inevitably focused on Adam Levine, I heard PJ Morton had a Christmas album on NPR and will be playing it … More Fast Four
There was a rare warm day not too long ago and we got our family photos taken at a nearby park and I LOVE them! Danny takes such great pictures of other people, it’s nice that we have some good photos of our own. Other things I’m currently up to…. Excited to get organized for the … More Currently
I am always reluctant to try slow-cooker recipes. Too many early failures have made me very leery of getting soggy foods. BUT since I am short on time and ideas these days, I decided to try a Swedish meatball recipe and it was a big win! I altered the original slightly and it made a … More Slow-Cooker Swedish Meatballs
I’ve got a few shows I’m trying to watch this fall and a new addition is Single Parents. I love Leighton Meester from her Gossip Girl days (Chuck & Blair were a ‘table number’ at our wedding reception) and am thrilled that the show is genuinely great. The cast fits together perfectly and the show … More Fast Four
Our neighbors had their first baby last week and I decided to bring them a meal as a welcome treat. The country is so divided and depressing, I wanted to make an effort to put some unity vibes in the universe. I hope that maybe if we all make efforts in small ways we can … More An Easy Meal For A New Mom
We had a great summer but I’ll admit I’m ready for a change in season. Our days at the pool, eating popsicles on the porch and twilight walks were wonderful but our a/c could use a break and I miss sweaters (I won’t miss boots and winter jackets though). Now that Lucas is older, I … More September Checklist
