It’s been a while since our last Kid’s Cook Monday post. With the end of summer, a little bit of traveling, and some crazy cold that kept me on the couch for a week, I haven’t spent much time in the kitchen. I woke up feeling better this morning, so I decided to go with my new energy and get some cooking and cleaning done. After cranking out a few…
I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately. Overwhelmed in a good way, with many fun and rewarding opportunities coming my way, but stressed nonetheless. Even though I am not the most organized person (I think I just heard my husband snort at that)…ok, I am the owner of multiple piles in our house…anyways, too much disorganization sends my stress level into overdrive. Thankfully yesterday was Sunday, the perfect day to…
Do you like coffee? I have a bit of an obsession with the stuff. I don’t care if it’s 100 degrees at eight in the morning, I want a hot cup of coffee! In the afternoons though, iced coffee is the way to go. Throw a little soy or coconut milk in there, mix it with some ice, and I am set. When I found out the theme of this…
I’ve never been a big sandwich person. Not that I don’t enjoy a good sandwich, but I don’t want to eat one every day. And salads are great, but they can get old after a while too.

Yesterday was busy. Lots of painting going on. And lacing. And potty training. Don’t worry, I didn’t take pictures of that. With all of our projects going on, and my pledge to get back to the gym, I needed something easy for dinner. I don’t know why, but I have never used my crockpot to it’s full potential. I think it’s because when I first started cooking, the only crockpot…
One of my favorite things about Instagram is following other foodies. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only crazy person who takes pictures of what I’m eating. Last week, the talented Jenny of Picky Palate shared a photo of a strawberry, goat cheese, and pecan salad she was about to eat at a restaurant. I had some goat cheese chilling in my fridge, so with inspiration from Jenny,…
It’s Recipe Redux time again! Last month the challenge was grilling. This month we are sharing summer drink recipes. To be honest, I had a hard time coming up with a summer drink idea. That’s probably because I tend to drink water, water, and more water in the summer. I don’t get very fancy with my water except to put a slice of cucumber in the glass every once in…
