Some perks of the job were free eye check ups, free contacts, and a discount on glasses. Unfortunately, I’ve always had good vision and…

Okay, is it browned butter or brown butter? I see it used differently all the time and really have no clue which is correct. In my head I think, “well the butter is browned so it should be called browned butter ____ ” ( for whatever it is you’ve made) right? Does it even matter? Whether it’s browned or brown,…
100 Days of Delight
I used to think being a stay at home mom would be the best and easiest job in the world. After three years of being on the job, I can say that it is the best job in the world (for me), but probably the hardest. And that’s okay, because I wouldn’t trade it any…

Hot Fudge Sundae Cocoa Krispie Treats
We are taking a last minute road-trip to visit my family in Colorado for the long weekend. The nine hour drive with a busy 11-month old who hates his car seat has me terrified. Any traveling tips? Sleepy drugs? Just kidding. But while I’m stuck in a car for the next ten hours someone please…
BBQ Chopped Chicken, Bacon & Apple Salad
Chopped salads are popping up all over the interweb. And every time I see one I think to myself, “Ooh I’ve got to make one!” I love chopped salads. Forkfuls of finely chopped romaine lettuce loaded with lots of yummy toppings and plenty of dressing are just the best kind of salads. Don’t you…

Lemon Pepper & Feta Roasted Asparagus
How do you like your asparagus? I almost always prefer it roasted, prepared with some extra virgin olive oil and a little salt and pepper. No matter how you like it, it’s a super easy and healthy side to serve and I just can’t get enough of it come spring time. This time I decided…
