To finish out Crocktoberfest this week, I’m sharing our absolute FAVORITE recipe. It’s easy, it’s inexpensive to make, it’s good for you and it’s super quick to put together! It’s also hands down the best thing I’ve ever made in a crockpot. I know, that’s a pretty bold statement. I’m willing to own it. Try it for yourself and see, […]

An open letter to my 5 year old. Dear Daughter, Five is tough, I say it all the time. Usually with sarcasm during the onset of your latest catastrophic event.

Most people don’t exactly know what that is and assume it’s either to help lose weight or just means I can’t eat wheat bread. I actually had a few people say “well you can still eat white bread, right?” umm.. no. No […]

I mentioned last week that my little girl loves strawberries! (What’s not to love?) As a result we almost always have some in the refrigerator. One of my favorite things to do with them is make strawberry spinach salad. Yum. It’s light and a little sweet- perfect for a summer dinner or even a quick lunch. I love the simplicity […]

During the summer I love to make things for dinner that don’t heat up my house. I use the microwave, the grill and the crock pot to my full advantage! It’s already 90 something degrees outside- who wants to stand over a burner or crank an oven up to 350°? Not me! Especially since our air isn’t really all that […]

All our hard work […]
