I tried to grow some herbs in a few pots at the beginning of the summer. They died after two weeks. Even though I sometimes wish I had a garden to tend to and fresh veggies I could just run out back and pick for dinner, the reality of it is, it too would probably…
Healthy
Almond-Crusted Tilapia
Look who finally made some dinner. I know, my husband was shocked too. I’m slowly finding my way back into the kitchen- and not just to make dessert. Newborns are tiring. So are two year olds. A newborn plus a two year old is really really tiring. But I’m surviving, and they are…

Turkey Taco Burgers with Green Chile Sour Cream
One of my favorite blogger’s Katie, from Yes, I want Cake lost her sweet mother on Mother’s Day. My heart breaks for her. If you read Katie’s blog, you’ve read about her adventures in food and fitness, but also in motherhood. The joy and excitement she finds in being a mom is inspiring and makes me…
Philly Cheese Steak Romaine Boats
My husband and I love a good Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. We don’t eat them often so when we do, we splurge and get them loaded with cream cheese or cheese whiz. And we savor every single bite. We went to one our favorite Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich shops over the weekend with Brett’s…
Tomato Basil Quinoa Salad
I’ve scheduled my c-section for June 12th, so unless this baby does a little flip and is no longer breech, I’ve got five weeks left of pregnancy! I will admit having another boy has made prepping for this baby really easy…. I haven’t been shopping for baby clothes once! Just baby shoes. But Owen…
Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwiches
After putting Owen to bed the other night, I went outside and sat on our balcony to read for a little bit. I could hardly focus on my book because our neighbors were out grilling and that “BBQ smell” overcame me (you know that smell, right?). That smell not only makes me hungry (even if I’ve already…
Pineapple-Lime Yogurt Pops
After enjoying really warm and summer-like weather this weekend, I’m convinced I never want to be pregnant during the hot summer months. It would be miserable! I’m certain I’d live off of Popsicles, otter pops, and sno-cones. I’m so glad this baby is coming at the beginning of June! We spent Saturday…
Black Bean Sloppy Joes
I was browsing magazines while waiting at a doctor’s appointment a couple of weeks ago and came upon these Black Bean Sloppy Joes. I pretty much love anything with black beans, and secretly love sloppy joes, so I couldn’t wait to give them a try. I quickly made a…
Strawberry & Broccoli Orzo Pasta Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette
I know strawberries and broccoli don’t seem like they’d pair well, but I loved them together in this pasta salad. The strawberries provide the perfect touch of sweetness and the broccoli gives it a nice bite of crunch. Tossed together with orzo pasta, slivered almonds and a zesty lemon poppy seed vinaigrette, this chilled pasta salad…
