It’s Thanksgiving week! The boys have the whole week off from school so we’re in Arizona spending the holiday with my brother and his family. I haven’t cooked a lick of Thanksgiving food this year. Not even a real pie (these mini pies don’t really count, even though they are cute + fun!)
Main Dishes
Easy Banana Maple Muffins
My kids still haven’t adjusted to Daylights savings yet. Tell me I’m not alone here? Most mornings begin at 5:30am with at least one of them awake…and it’s painful. I always say I can handle anything after six am, but before that??? It’s just brutal. BRUTAL! And makes for a really long day. To think…

White Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Banana Bread
When it doesn’t feel quite like fall outside, you do everything you can to make it feel like fall inside. Like–run your a/c a little more than neccessary just so you can curl up with a blanket and drink something warm while you watch a show. Or burn several leaves candles at once all the live-long day. And…
Cheesy “Bat” Pasta Dippers
If it’s cheesy and we can pretend it looks like some sort of animal or creature, and they get to eat it with their fingers, the chances my kids will actually EAT their dinner drastically increases!! So telling them these were spooky bats got them really excited to eat the other day. They proceeded…
Chicken Paillard with Apple Cider Farro
Oh hey it’s dinner! We’ve been a little busy the last several days…celebrating birthdays, spending a day at Legoland, and Brett and I sneaking off for a little staycation at the beach! I haven’t cooked a real meal in what feels like forever! Brett was the one to make this Chicken Paillard with Apple Cider…
Ham & Cheese Egg Roll Ups
Oh Monday….I kind of wish you weren’t here already. I had far to much fun with my boys this weekend in LA skipping bed times, eating too much junk food, and cheering on the Cougars. But man, we’re all tired and wish we had a day to SLEEP. In a mother’s dreams right? But yay…
{Game Day} Sticky Japanese Chicken Wings + Zucchini Chips from Plated
These wings are comin’ in hot at ya just in time for game day this weekend!! These aren’t your traditional wings but they’re packed with asian flavor and some kick. As long as they’ve got some kick, we’re all good right? They’re saucy, sticky, and finger-lickin’ good.
Chocolate Chip Pancakes
I promised there would still be food here! These Chocolate Chip Pancakes are inspired by our (okay, my) favorite pancakes at the Original Pancake House. I always order them from the kids menu for “one of the boys” with full intentions to eat them all by myself.
