Welcome to the (almost!) weekend! I know as the mornings have been getting colder and colder, it’s harder to get out of bed! Even with daylight savings time, my bed has been reluctant to let me go in the morning. Here are some things I have found that are actually worth getting out of bed … More TGIF – fun finds
To me, soup is a perfect meal. Unfortunately, not everyone in my family feels that way so soup night is few and far between! But, every once in awhile I put up with the complaining and just go ahead with soup – and this Winter Squash Soup was worth all the angst! Smitten Kitchen struck … More Winter Squash Soup
I know, taco salad seems so basic! It’s the meal you make when you have a bunch of random things in the fridge and you aren’t sure what to do with them. Taco salad can be simple, but it certainly does not need to be basic! The other night, we had friends over for dinner … More The Best Ever Taco Salad
“It’s Friday… any plan of being a productive member of society is officially thrown out the window.“Unknown If you haven’t jumped on the dry shampoo bandwagon yet- now is the time! Dry shampoo is one of my very best friends… it gives me the ability to sleep a few minutes longer and makes me feel … More TGIF- fun finds
Happy Friday!!!! I have been mildly obsessed with the Trader Joe’s Green Goddess dressing. If you haven’t tried it- you need to!!!

Oh Trader Joe’s… you handsome devil! You’ve gone and done it again…made me fall in love with you all over again!!!!! I was doing my usual TJ’s run this past week and spied these mozzarella and tomato sauce stuffed gnocchi in the freezer section. It was a new item and it looked so interesting. Upon … More Stuffed Gnocchi
Lasagna is one of those things that I feel is very personal to each family. These recipes have been passed down from generation to generation (or it is simply a box of Stouffer’s straight from the freezer!) and each recipe differs in such vastly different ways! Now, every family feels like their recipe for lasagna … More Vegetarian Lasagna – for the picky eaters
I’m embarrassed to admit, but more nights than not lately I’ve felt pressed for time when it comes to dinner. I remember- years ago- when Greg would be blessed with a full three course dinner almost every night that had a perfect proportion of protein to meat to carbs. Yeah, life has gotten in the … More Easy Little Dinner
Most of the time, I am pretty dang proud of the dinners I put together. They are well thought out, hit all the food groups, they just go well together. Sometimes, I am just too tired to work through all the intricacies of a perfect dinner. For those nights, I have come up with an … More Easy Veggie Dinner
