For some reason I thought it was a great idea to clump a lot of traveling together– a 16 hour road trip to Colorado, a quick two day trip to Santa Cruz, followed by red-eye flights from coast to coast. All while 7 months pregnant 🙂 Excuse me if I’m slightly crabby, emotional, and whiny….
Salad, Soups & Sides
Mango Chicken Quinoa Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing
This salad reminds me of the short time we spent in San Juan back in February. We had an afternoon before our cruise ship departed just to walk around the town. We wandered into an open courtyard area where there were a few giant mango trees and two men using these long stick-like hooks…
Watermelon Arugula Salad
I tell you what, unpacking an entire house is a beast. I thought we dejunked before we moved, but we still have so much stuff. And so many boxes. And all of that stuff is wrapped up in so.much.paper! See…mountains of paper. And this is only from a few boxes. But, we are making progress….
Orange Cranberry Superfood Salad {with Orange-Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette}
Happy Monday friends! Only four more days of hotel living! I’m anxious to get back into a normal eating routine of prepping and cooking my own meals. I’ve been “vacation eating” for the last ten days and I think my body hates me. Last week however, I made this super simple, superfood salad for…
Chicken BLT Salad with Parmesan Crusted Fried Avocados
Well, we made it to San Diego!! We’re living in a hotel for a couple of weeks until our house is ready to move into, but we’re here. It feels like we are just on vacation. It’s hard to believe we actually live here now. I wonder if it will ever not feel like a vacation?…
MIRACLE WHIP Kale & Apple Potato Salad
This post is sponsored by Kraft Foods. All opinions are my own. Memorial Day is just around the corner! Which means, it’s time for barbecues and back yard parties! We’ll most likely spend the day getting ready to move, but we will be enjoying good food at some point! I love Memorial Day because it…
Roasted Red Pepper & Cauliflower Quinoa
I’m just coming off of a girls weekend in Moab, Utah and it was just what this mama needed- hiking, laying at the pool, great food, jeeping, chick flicks, pedicures, and lots and lots of girl talk. Kind of the perfect combination of girly/outdoorsy activities. I’d do it all again in a heart beat. …
5 Minute Creamy Tomato Soup
My little Miles is getting tubes in his ears this morning. For the last six months he has had ear infection after infection. We’ve been to the doctor’s over and over, he’s been on antibiotic after antibiotic and nothing has worked. The dang ear infection kept coming back. He went from being my happiest little…
Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes
This is hardly a recipe. It’s just the best and easiest (and my new favorite) way to cook sweet potatoes! I love throwing these in the crock pot on Sundays before we leave for church. We go to church from 1pm-4pm so by the time I get home my stomach is growling. Something about three…
Quick & Easy Cilantro Slaw
My friend Kelsey brought this Cilantro Slaw to a church get together a few weeks ago. She served it with BBQ pulled pork sandwiches and it was seriously, so, so good. I’ve never really been a big fan of coleslaw, or cabbage for that matter, but I couldn’t get over how good this was. …
