My family doesn't care for seafood or spicy food, but sometimes I need to make something just for me. And this is a forever favorite. Next time you have an evening to yourself, or a like-minded friend coming over for casual conversation, give this dish a whirl. So much flavor, easy to make, but presents […]

Casual Friday: The Best of July & Buyers' Remorse

July was filled with highs and lows. It was the month that really felt like summer filled with eating outside and swimming and soaking in family time. But it was also the month our emotions got the best of us. To be honest, we experienced heavy feelings of buyers' remorse as we looked around, an entire year […]

Veggie Bowls with Fire Roasted Salsa

The battle to eat more vegetables is an uphill one, to say the least. Modern meals are centered around the protein (usually meat of some kind), starch (grain or potatoes), with a small portion of vegetables on the side. We're all familiar with those sad few spears of asparagus tucked next to our 12oz steak […]

Demo on our bathroom happened this week and it was so shocking to see the space after it was completely cleared. I actually gasped. It seems to have grown 10x! My sister was so sure there must have been a wall cheated out somewhere. Our minds just couldn't get around the fact that this huge, open space […]

Grilled Sugar Snap Peas and Mushrooms

The flavors of summer are lemon, garlic, fresh herbs, and whatever the grill adds during cooking. This dish takes all of those and applies them to fresh peas and mushrooms, and it's a winner. Make this dish to go alongside any grilled protein, or eat by itself as a light lunch. It just works and […]

Honey Mint Lemonade

I love lemonade, but I feel like most store-bought or restaurant-served options are too sweet, too sour, and/or make me more thirsty after drinking them than I was before. This is a simple lemonade that leans on natural sweeteners - honey and stevia powder - to make a refreshing and light drink perfect for summer […]
