I hope you all had a restful and meaningful Memorial Day Weekend! I was going to have this incredible post about our awesome camping experience in Lake Arrowhead this weekend – but, let’s just say this isn’t that post. We had a little change of plans along the way…. Both Greg and I had heard … More Memorial Day (change of plans)
I am learning to love the lentils. Honestly,I only had tried one lentil dish – ever- before becoming vegetarian . But now, times have changed! I have learned through my vegetarian adventures that the lentil is amazing versatile. It gives you a hearty meat-like texture but (duh!) without the meat! So, when I stumbled upon … More Lentil Ragu
Happy Friday! My sister-in-law, Jessica posted the easiest pumpkin bread on her blog, Budgeting with Boys recently. It is a four ingredient bread (well, five – I added pecans!) and it was super quick to whip up on Saturday morning. I think the family enjoyed some fresh made bread! Oscar is still a champ on … More TGIF- fun finds
Like most of America, I fell in love with the reclaimed wood trend when Fixer Upper really took off a few years ago. The way that Joanna Gaines could make reclaimed wood look so modern and clean in the right setting… it makes my heart sing! I have wanted to incorporate this trend into my … More Reclaimed Wood Love…
Remember how I said there are two types of people in the world – those who think salad is a full dinner and those who don’t? Well, the same applies for soup. I LOVE SOUP!!! I haven’t always loved it, but in recent years I have a new found affinity for soup. I love serving … More Creamy Sweet Corn Soup
Jackfruit…hmmmm…it’s an interesting one. Looking at vegetarian blogs and websites, it seems to be all the rage. Cooks are using it as a meat replacement in A LOT of things. But, looking at the fruit itself – well, it’s kinda scary! I have seen a lot of recipes for bar-b-que pulled “pork” sandwiches made with … More Bar-b-que Jackfruit
I thought this Monday called for a little something sweet! My amazing neighbors (Tim & Ellen – I’m talking about you!) have access to some of the best lemons in the world. They are HUGE and tasty and everything a good lemon should be! Recently, a large bag of lemons was left on my front … More Lemon Bars
It’s Friday – and halfway through May! The end of the school year is almost here!!!! I decided that I wanted to take up a new hobby recently, and embroidery was the winner! I know – it sounds like such an old lady endeavor! But, what I found out is that embroidery has gotten a … More TGIF- fun finds
I have been killing it in the reading game lately! After a few months of being crazy busy and not picking up a book for fun, I am now gorging myself on all the books I have missed! Being a child of the 80’s and my teen years spent in the 90’s – I was … More Good Reads
A good fish taco is hard to pass up. The fried fish, the crunchy cabbage, and – of course- the sauce! I find that the sauce is what makes the taco. If the creamy goodness isn’t, well, good, it can ruin the whole fish taco experience! I wanted to recreate my panko crusted fish sticks … More Baja Sauce (for fish tacos)
