As a kid, my mom cooked for us a lot. I never realized that people really ate dinner out until I was older. I just assumed that eating at a restaurant was a special occasion and it was a once-in-awhile thing. My mom is a good cook and I have always enjoyed a lot of … More Egg Puff Casserole
Have you guys noticed that there’s a new kid in town? By kid – I mean a new Beyond Meat product, and by town I do mean your local grocery store! I was at my Albertson’s last week and found the Beyond Meat 1-lb. ground beef and was so excited (I might have jumped for … More Best Ever Smothered Wet Burritos
Happy Friday!!!! I have been mildly obsessed with the Trader Joe’s Green Goddess dressing. If you haven’t tried it- you need to!!! It is so fresh tasting, so amazing, and it goes with any sort of salad. You can find it in the perishable foods section (near the lettuce) and it makes me actually want … More TGIF- fun finds
It’s football season, so that means football snacks and beer. And if we are talking beer, the obvious choice of snack is a giant, salty, delicious pretzel. Full disclosure- I would have made these pretzels whether it was football season or not! It’s just kinda nice to have a solid reason to make such amazing … More Cheesy Pretzel Bites
The lemon pudding from last week was so delicious and so easy to make – that I decided I needed to keep up with this cool-dessert-warm-weather train and try my hand at butterscotch pudding. (Side note: Greg’s favorite flavor is butterscotch, so this was an easy choice!) I visited one of my tried and true … More Butterscotch Pudding
My tomato plants have really begun producing some gorgeous little red gems, and I knew I had to do something epic with them. What’s the point of growing tomatoes if you can’t showcase them to their finest?!? I knew homemade salsa would be a perfect way to celebrate my tomatoes, time and again, so I … More Homemade Salsa
The cookie bonanza last week made Greg happy- but also made him crave even more cookies! This time he asked for some basic peanut butter cookies and I was happy to oblige! I didn’t have a go-to peanut butter cookie recipe that I love, so I spent some time searching for one. I found a … More Peanut Butter Cookies
Happy Friday! Although it is past Labor Day- it still feels like summer is in full force here. I can’t help but start to take part in the fall traditions (like the PSL from Starbucks!) it’s my favorite season… To help kick off fall- my dear friend Jill had me over for a girls night … More TGIF- fun finds
I never realized there was such a thing as a beer waffle. I’ve made beer bread, knew that the yeast in the beer worked well in baked goods, but never put two-and-two together to realize a beer waffle is what my life was missing! I was browsing through my new favorite blog, Brown-Eyed Baker, and … More Beer Waffles with Cinnamon Caramel Apples
Lemons are perfection. They can be sweetened in desserts or used in savory dishes. They are tart, exciting, and they always remind me of warm weather. I think one of my favorite flavors in the whole wide world is that of a lemon. So, with that in mind, I knew I wanted to do some … More Lemon Pudding
