One of the keys to keeping our sanity during the work week is meal prep. This includes breakfast. For a while I was making egg sandwiches, then switched to breakfast wraps, and am now obsessed with breakfast bowls ever since our Whole30 challenge. I can eat the same breakfast every day but I try to …

Coming in hot with another recipe using the crockpot hack! The kids were out of school yesterday for Teacher Workday and I attempted to catch up on work from home, leaving me very little time to cook any sort of meal that involved more than dumping a few ingredients into a crockpot. So early yesterday …
We made it to our very last week of Whole30! Thank goodness. As much as we love this diet we are definitely starting to fall off the bandwagon a bit (ahem, weekends). Once this week is over I think we’ll transition to the paleo diet! We have been really happy with our results though. We …
We just completed week 2 of Whole30 and have never felt better. Also, I cannot thank you all enough for the insane amount of emails I received with amazing recipes and tips. If you haven’t already, I highly suggest peeking at my Whole30 pin board as I’ve tried to collect all of the recipes that …
If you’re not doing Whole30, you may want to skip this post (even though these recipes are amazing even if you’re not doing Whole30). I literally scour the internet for HOURS to meal plan each week on this diet and have found posts like this extremely helpful. So today I’m sharing the meals we ate …
I love to bake on Sunday afternoons. And sometimes I’ll let Caroline skip her nap to help me whip up some treats. Today we made Smores Chocolate Chip Cookies. And then we ate them all…while Thomas napped. Straight out of the oven these mini treats are sooooo warm and ooooeyy gooooey. It’s hard to stop …
Last night I whipped up some Asian Chicken Noodle Soup. Before we get into the details I have to mention that if you don’t often cook Asian dishes this one may be a bit of an “investment” for your first batch. I didn’t own many of these ingredients and was a little sticker shocked as …
A few weekends ago I had a craving for white chicken enchiladas. I didn’t have a go-to recipe to make but I have been lucky enough to have two friends bring me their homemade white chicken enchiladas on various occasions. Both meals were amazing so naturally I texted them both, got their recipes and combined …
Scallops are on sale at the Harris Teeter this week so a few nights ago I scooped up a pound for dinner and waited for the kids to go to bed so Matt and I didn’t have to share them with our two little people. After a quick Pinterest search I found the perfect scallops …
Another topic requested by y’all — kid-friendly meals! Before I share some of our go-to meals for our kids, I have to make a few announcements/disclaimers:1. Our kids go through waves of being good eaters and super picky. So while these are some of our favorite meals to make on the fly, just know there …
Earlier today I had some of my favorite ladies over for lunch! I wanted to prepare something simple ahead of time so I decided to toss a salad together, thaw some Trader Joes cheesecake bites and chill a few bottles of rose. The salad was a big hit so I thought I’d share it with …
The annual Valentine Bake Sale at the kiddos’ school is tomorrow and we made Valentine Muddy Buddies, or Puppy Chow, depending on what you call them! Last year I blew off the bake sale (but NOT the year before) so I felt I needed to contribute this time. Caroline insists on helping in the kitchen …
