Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! I gave myself a little time off from the blog to just enjoy time with my family and to be honest, be a little lazy. But now it’s back to the grind. Back to school. And back to the blog! Before I dive into the New…

Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze
This week is turning out to be another cold, rainy one. Rain is the new snow for us, so I think it’s time I buy an umbrella. The last couple of times I’ve taken Owen to preschool have been impeccably timed with a down poor of rain. Which means, I hauled the baby, Miles, and…
Brown Butter Brown Sugar Pecan Coffee Cake
The combination of brown butter with brown sugar in this Brown Butter Brown Sugar Pecan Coffee cake is perfection! And it’s loaded with both. There’s brown butter and brown sugar in the batter of the cake, and there’s a cinnamon-pecan brown butter brown sugar topping that gets sprinkled in the cake and on top of…
Slow Cooker Chicken Tinga
Spicy, flavorful chicken tinga cooked in the slow cooker. Perfect to add to any Mexican dish for a quick weeknight meal! This Slow Cooker Chicken Tinga is perfect to make on a busy weeknight (oh, hello holiday season!) Once the meat is done you can use it to make tacos, lettuce wraps, quesadillas, or even…
Bacon Grilled Cheese Croutons and DOLE Garden Soups
Crispy and cheesy, these bacon grilled cheese croutons are a fun addition to soup! This post is sponsored by DOLE Garden Soups and the Mom It Forward Network. All opinions are my own. It’s been a rainy, cold week here in San Diego. We’ve been bundled up in long sleeves and sweats all week long…
Almond Joy Protein Shake
I thought I’d take a quick break from the dessert madness and share one of my favorite protein shakes! Because even though I’ve been pumpin’ sugary treats out of my kitchen like no other lately, it’s not the only thing I’ve been eating. Ironically though, this protein shake tastes just like dessert. It’s made…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins
We are spending the week in Arizona for Thanksgiving. It’s a full house with lots of little kiddos playing, having fun, and causing a little ruckus:) (the best way to spend a holiday!!) These super Pumpkin Pancake Muffins are perfect for a week like this when feeding everyone can be a little crazy. You can…
Easy Oven Broiled Nachos
I’ve been eating these oven broiled nachos since I was a kid. In my family it was a Sunday tradition. After church we’d come home and make a giant batch to eat while we watched a movie together (or whatever football game happened to be on.) It’s now a tradition Brett and I have carried…
Sweet Potato Pie Pancakes
This post is sponsored by Wholesome Sweeteners, all opinions are my own. I made you a delicious stack of pancakes that tastes just like Sweet Potato Pie! Pie for breakfast you guys! Who’s in?? Sweet potato pancakes topped with a marshmallow cream glaze, cinnamon-toasted pecans, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Pancakes just don’t get…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Quinoa
The craziest part of my day is always from about 4:30pm to 6:00pm (an hour or so before my husband gets home from work). It’s that time right before dinner, when everything (and everyone) falls apart at our house. I’m trying to feed the baby, trying to play referee, and trying to make dinner…
