“Busy” does not even begin to describe my lifestyle these days. Between homeschooling, running two businesses, and treating an autoimmune disease, I am always on the go. When I shop for my family, healthy snacks that we can eat on the run are a must. Healthy and convenient don’t always go hand in hand, and most of the time there is a lot of prep work involved. Thankfully, that is not the case with Chomps Snack Sticks! …
It’s that time again. Time to celebrate the birth of my baby girls. I can not believe another year has come and gone. This time of year is always bittersweet for Momma. I wish I could bottle them up and keep them little forever. At the same time, I really look forward to these parties. Giving my princesses a special day just for them brings me so much joy!…
Cheddar Bay Biscuits. They are pretty much the number one reason I ever wanted to go to Red Lobster. Unless it happened to be that special time of the year for endless shrimp. Josh and I look forward to that all year long. I can stuff my face with some coconut shrimp and pina colada sauce. Oh Lordy. Of course….good things sometimes must come to an end. Thus I can no longer indulge in basket after basket of fluffy, buttery, cheesy biscuits from Red Lobster….
Brownies are my biggest weakness. Not just any brownies, though. I won’t blink an eye for your betty crocker box mix. Okay maybe I will. But It’s the homemade goodness that really gets me. The chewy, gooey, fudgy brownies that stick to your fingertips and the roof of your mouth. Fresh from the pan and chased with a cold glass of milk. THOSE brownies. Are my weakness. It doesn’t matter if I have been dieting for 29 days and I am 8 hours away from meeting my goal….you take a pan of homemade brownies out of the oven and that’s the end of me….
Taco Tuesdays are my favorite day of the work week. I always make tacos once a week because 1. They are tasty, 2. They are easy, 3. They are tasty, 4. They are inexpensive, and 5. They are tasty. There are infinite ways to make a taco, so I never get tired of them. Whether it’s beef tacos, pork tacos, fish tacos, chicken tacos, spaghetti tacos, I love them all. These tacos, however…these are the best….
This weekend we celebrated the birth of my two favorite little piggies. Lacie turned two in July, and Lyla will be 5 in October. Luckily for me, most of my mom friends have little ones both of their ages, so I decided to meet in the middle and do a combined party this year. Seeing as the two of them absolutely adore Peppa Pig, I knew I had to deliver the cutest little Peppa Party ever. These girls were thrilled….
We have been living in 100 degree weather here for the past few weeks. Ice cream is a must. My husband knows that the ways to my heart are number one, food; and number two, kitchen appliances. You can keep your cards and flowers, I will sit in my pantry and gaze lovingly at the plethora of waffle irons, rice cookers, crock pots, and spiral slicers. My favorite handy machine is the ice cream maker attatchment that I got for my birthday….
I was born into a very close knit family. Not just my immediate family, my entire extended family. Since before I can remember, the whole family would get together for every little occasion. Every holiday, birthday, graduation, or just because. It never made sense to me when kids in school talked about never doing anything with their families. I just couldn’t wrap my head around that. Because I am 100% certain that if families didn’t exist, and I had to choose who I would spend my life growing up with, these people are the ones I would choose every. single. time. My family is my tribe….
The two substances in this world that have the power to make everything better happen to be chocolate, and bacon. So what happens when you put those two things together? The most delicious bite of food you have ever eaten. BOOM! Dipping things in chocolate is basically the easiest way to a happy Valentine’s day. Dipping bacon in chocolate is like dipping amazeballs into awesomesauce….
