Did you think that I had forgotten all about my best friend Chrissy (Teigen) since I had begun my quest for healthy eating???? No worries – I still love her and crave her recipes all the freaking time! This past week I was getting really bored with lunches. Leftovers are ok – but it just … More Tangy Herb Sesame Slaw
Cheese enchiladas are a gift from the gods. I became obsessed with them when I was very young when my family would trek (probably weekly!) to the greatest hole-in-the-wall establishment in the Bay Area. Casa Lupe was run by a local family and had the greatest enchiladas of my life. I haven’t lived in the … More Homemade Enchiladas
IT’S SPRING BREAK!!!! I’m excited – can you tell???? I was making my weekly Trader Joe’s run, when I found this little gem. It is a new item at my TJ’s and I knew I had to try it. A low-fat high protein ice cream – yes please! The Swell Ice Cream has an amazing … More TGIF- fun finds
One of my favorite easy lunch places is The Habit. As far as I know, this is a mostly Southern California – a few in the North- place that is amazing. They are known for their burgers, but their salads are super delicious as well. We headed over there for lunch recently and I found … More Barbecue Pizza
It’s department meeting time – and I knew, with a week to go until Spring Break, I had to make something amazing and wonderful to power us through the next week. I like basing cupcakes off of candy bar flavors (I mean, they are proven, well-made flavor matches!) so this month I tackled, Snickers. I … More Snickers Cupcakes
World… please meet Oscar Mayer, the weiner dog! Yes, we are now a two-dog family (if you can count this little ball of fluff an actual dog!) Lily has been alone in the dog world since our previous dog, Cadence, died in December. Since our first dog, Greg and I have always had a second … More Introducing… Oscar Mayer (the weiner dog)
Being so close to Spring Break (1 week!) I’ve pretty much given up on life. I know I’m not alone…right?!?! I’m lacking creativity on dinners and quite frankly I’d be fine with eating cereal every night- if it weren’t for the family. I used to love eating chicken wrap sandwiches back when I ate all … More Dinner (or lunch) on the Fly
Lily’s smile is as big as mine…It’s Friday!!! My amazing sister-in-law (and mom to the two cutest nephews on the planet!) has posted a great banana bread recipe on her blog, Budgeting with Boys. I know banana bread was a huge part of my brother’s and my childhood, so I’m not surprised that Jess makes … More TGIF – fun finds
Just stop for one single moment. Look at that amazing caramel-y deliciousness that is dripping off the buttery short bread crust and coating those adorable pecan pieces. Honestly, I should stop the blog post here. No more needs to be said. This needs to be in your belly! Ok, I love talking way too much … More Pecan Bars
I’ve loved reading since I was a kid. In an effort to get my sister and me to read more as kids, my parents used to pay us to read books. That quickly stopped when I would spend hours each day reading – then demanding money from my poor mom and dad. Although reading is … More Good Reads
