I finally did it. I got over the “ick” of Mexican food that the stomach bug I caught in Cabo and morning sickness did to me. Kyle’s very happy about this since he’s been in taco withdrawal. Taco Night!! The prep for each ingredient was minimal. home-made baked taco shells (new method!) vegetarian refried beans lettuce Sabra guacamole Sabra salsa mexi-rice First up, the taco shells. I can’t remember where I heard about this trick, but it stuck with me and I knew I had to give it a shot. Pre heat oven to 375… Read more >

This weekend Kyle and I flew/drove to Lake Almanor for a couples getaway. Our friends have a baby on the way, so we were celebrating that – but instead of a girly shower with cheesy games we relaxed, drank and enjoyed our peaceful vacation with friends. The hosts own an amazing cabin that I couldn’t even being to describe. Not only does it have tons of bedrooms, a TV den and game room, a huge living room with an equally huge outside deck, a bocce ball court, horseshoe and corn hole set ups, and… Read more >

After a week of saving money on home-cooked meals a la plan, I opted to splurge for the weekend. Lazy me. I was working though, so it was my treat. I snacked on chex and chocolate crunchfuls.

I had such a chaotic day at work, and the weird part was it was totally stress free and enjoyable. For breakfast I had three leftover pancakes from earlier in the week (I always make extra for work and then end up eating half the extras, which leaves me with a measly portion to take to work). Luckily I had banana bread muffins too. My lunch was leftover Caprese Caesar pasta salad. AKA my favorite dish on the face of the Earth. We had this for dinner the previous night. I can’t… Read more >

I’ll be working night shift…which may give me a view of fireworks…maybe not. But I took it upon myself to celebrate a day early with red raspberry studded pancakes. Topped in maple syrup (because you don’t need much when there are raspberries oozing from your hot cakes). So good! What are you doing on this patriotic holiday? Hope it involves frozen treats. And watermelon. 🙂 If you’re a huge procrastinator, you might still be searching for some recipe ideas for the 4th of July festivities. And if you’re already set, then consider… Read more >
