Happy day of LOVE everyone! I hope you get pampered and eat a lot of chocolate! Are you guys going out tonight or dining in? We’re sticking with our tradition of hanging with the kids, putting them to bed, and then making dinner together. Ask me if I’ve cooked dinner for my family once this…
Raspberry Oreo Milkshake
We got home from our seven day cruise on Sunday. It was the best vacation ever (pictures to come!) I already miss the sunshine, the beautiful beaches, and the hot sand on my feet. The best part though, was feeling like I was dating my husband again…every single day. Getting all fancied up for dinner…having…
Midnight Oreo Cake
So on Sunday I turned 30. GASP! I know, I just look so much younger, right? I might be a little more devastated {or down-right depressed} about turning 30, but I celebrated my birthday in St. Thomas lounging on the beach with my husband and some of our good friends! We’re vacationing on a cruise…

Oh you guys. This is the perfect little treat to make for you and your lovey dovey on Valentine’s Day! Or you can make it just for you:) This Chocolate M&M Skookie is rich, loaded with chocolate chips and M&M’s, a little bit like a cookie and a little bit like a cake. With…
Turkey Bacon Wrapped Avocado Bites
If you need a last minute healthier appetizer for the Super Bowl, I’ve got it for you! Chunks of avocado lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, wrapped in turkey bacon, and broiled to hot and crispy perfection. Sounds like a winner no? You can of course use real bacon. But we opt for turkey…

Salmon Fajita Boats with Tomatillo Vinaigrette Dressing
One week from today Brett and I will be on our way to the sunny beaches of the Southern Caribbean. We’re going on our first cruise– our first vacation away for more than three days. We’ll be gone an entire week. As much as I love my kiddos, this momma needs a break vacation. I’m…
Minty Green Apple Green Smoothie
I told you we’ve been drinking tons of green smoothies lately. My little boys are even drinking them, even asking for them in the morning or at night for a treat. This isn’t normal for my picky eaters, most days it’s a battle to get them to eat their fruit and veggies. So any time…
Skinny Mini Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins
These cute little muffins are kind of amazing! You’ll never know they’re made with better-for-you-ingredients (that’s what I mean by skinny) They’re sweetened with honey, all-natural peanut butter, and almond milk. Almond milk by itself is too sweet for me to drink, but it’s perfect in these muffins because it adds a little more sweetness and…
Slow Cooker Green Chile Chicken & Quinoa Chili
The other day on facebook I asked you what kind of recipes you’d like to see on ST&M this year. I know I can’t please everyone, and I want to stay true to the recipes I like to make for my family (and recipes I actually eat), but I do want to make things you…
