We got back from Tahoe and I haven’t found the time to go shopping because Kyle’s out of town so we are living off the freezer and pantry. It’s fine. I’m fine. We are all fine. Fancy stuff going on over here… Luckily I have alllll of this chocolate (and more!) to keep me fulfilled in a different way. I will make it to the store eventually, but I still have so many old meals to catch up on posting anyway. Like these two meals from Run Fast Cook Fast Eat Slow. First I made… Read more >

Remember back in this post when I shared all the different grain & green bowl combo ideas that I could come up with off the top of my head? Creating hippie bowls is like a sixth sense I have.

It’s a forgiving recipe when it comes to liquid sweeteners. My fam says every loaf is better than the last 😛 Next up, lunch. The key ingredients to building a southwestern salad… Read more >

Just out of curiosity, what meal is your favorite? And dessert doesn’t count. Otherwise that would obviously be my answer. I think I would have to say dinner because it’s the one I look forward to planning out and the one I put the most effort into preparing for the whole family.

But I feel like the anticipation for what I have… Read more >
