Thanksgiving is upon us and soon we will all be cascading down mountains of mashed potatoes and gravy culminating in a post-dinner tryptophan turkey coma. We all love Thanksgiving food, but there is always so many leftovers. I don’t know about everyone else, but I love looking for different ways to use my leftovers to […]
Classically Simple Green Bean Casserole
Can I just say that I have a major obsession with Thanksgiving food? Casseroles are some of my favorite dishes. Typically casseroles are super easy to make, and are a Thanksgiving staple. My husband’s favorite is the simple green bean casserole. Honestly, I should make this more often because it is so easy to make. […]
Simplify Weeknight Meals with Ling Ling Fried Rice
*This post was sponsored by Ling Ling, all opinions expressed in my post are my own.* Alright moms, time to get real. As much as I want to say that I make super healthy from scratch meals every night of the week to feed my family, that just is not true. Some nights, I am […]
Muffin Pan Caramel Apple Pies
For me, November is the month of food, which I am sure will be reflected here on the blog. By now you probably know all about my love for Fall and all things Fall related. While pumpkin spice is king, apple is still high up there. I wanted to make these muffin pan caramel apple […]
Cranberry & Bacon Wrapped Turkey Tenderloin
It is officially November and that means I can start craving a huge turkey dinner right? I have always wondered though, why do we seem to only really eat turkey during the Holidays?

Fish Tacos with Avocado and Cilantro Slaw
I am constantly on the hunt for quick and easy recipes for weeknight dinners. While I want to cook dinner for my family every night, sometimes it is just too time consuming to make a full on meal. Because I like simple and fast meals, I also like to find innovative ways to utilize foods […]
Mickey Mouse Cupcakes
My son recently turned one! We had planned this awesome Mickey mouse themed birthday for him complete with Mickey Mouse cupcakes. Alas, Hurricane Irma decided to show up and drown our plans for a party. As a native Floridian, I decided not to let a little rain get me down though. We still ended up making […]
Perfect Summer Sangria

Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
I may or may not have a slight obsession with Mexican food. Taco Tuesday is my favorite dinner of the week, and I am down to go to my local hole in the wall taco stand at any given time. That being said, I do like to change it up from week to week. This […]
