When Dominic and I started dating he had one request of me … and I paraphrase, “Please learn how to make tuna melts like, um, the girl before you.” Yes, in our early dating days he thought it would be a good pointer to guide my cooking to be more like his former girlfriend. At […]
Today’s post is sponsored by Nestle Toll House and this delightfull new product <—- take a peek and don’t be alarmed if your mouth starts watering! Friday evening we snuck away to the coast. To all you non-Northwest people it probably sounds crazy to visit the ocean in the middle of December, but hey, it’s cold at […]

Today Dominic and I are starting the 21 Day Fix. I’m hesitant to even say so, because, well, what if I quit? Or eat an entire bag of chocolate covered sea salt almonds? Or order a pepperoni pizza as midnight nears? It’s out there in the universe now. For 21 days I’ll be all whole foods, […]

I live and die by my slower cooker in the Fall and Winter. It’s just so cozy to pop a meal in to cook while I go about my day. Especially with our homeschool preschool and high school pick up routine. Planning a slow cooker meal insures a hot dinner. Otherwise, that isn’t always a […]
Look at me, following through on promises — the recipe I mentioned yesterday! I have quite the history with beef. You see, for 23 years I hated it. Burgers made me gag. Steaks were out of the question. Meatloaf was my worst nightmare. Beef and I just didn’t mix. Then I got pregnant and all […]
It may be in the 80s this week, but I’ve got my mind on Fall. So much so that before the day warms up I’ve been sipping cozy beverages. But not just plain ol’ coffee, something much, much better. Think on this for a minute … SILK SOY. LAVENDER. MOCHA. Yes, oh yes. I promise […]
