    Chicken Taco Recipe

    I’m just going to cut to the chase tonight. I made chicken tacos, and they were good. Not only were they good, they were super easy. So of course I wanted to share them with you! I know I’ve confessed my love affair with Pinterest before. And thanks to Pinterest, I have a slew of recipes to try. Some are more involved, but this one could not be easier. I found this chicken taco recipe on Pinterest. The recipe calls[...]

    You Are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine

    It’s amazing what a little sunshine can do for the soul. Today, we went to the park for the first time since last fall, and it was glorious. We had a very mild winter this year, but even so, being cooped up in the house or bundled up in coats and mittens isn’t my definition of fun. Ben’s coat this year wasn’t all that thick or padded, but he still could hardly put his arms to his side. Is anyone[...]

    Happy birthday, Mom!

    I’m a very lucky girl. I happen to have one of the best families in the world. How is that for a bold claim? Having a wonderful family is an easy thing to take for granted, because it’s just how it’s always been for me. I’ve always had great parents and a great brother. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins? They’re all great. And when I got married 10 years ago, I added my in-laws to the list of my fabulous family.[...]

    Hasselback Potato Recipe

    I love Pinterest. And if you hang around long enough, you’ll see just how big of an obsession it’s become for me. It’s infecting every area of my life. Although, the word ‘infecting’ sounds like a bad thing, and Pinterest is a good thing. A very, very good thing. How about it’s inspiring me in every area of my life? Yeah, that’s better. Tonight I was wanting to try something new for dinner to go with the steaks Greg picked[...]

    Chicken Pesto Panini Sandwich Recipe

    I’ve never been much of a sandwich person. I mean, I don’t hate them or anything, but to me, a sandwich is the epitome of an average meal. You’ll find me eating a sandwich when I’m starving and either A) don’t have time for anything else, or B) am too lazy to make anything else So how in the world did I go from being “ehh” about sandwiches to being obsessed with one? It all started when I ran to[...]

Home Projects and Staycation Fun

For those of you who were concerned…yes, I am still alive. I know everyone was frantic with worry. You’d think after I just resurrected this blog three months ago that I wouldn’t be so quick to go MIA again, would you? At least I was missing for just over a month this time instead of a year. Progress, right? Hopefully soon I’ll get down the fine art of staying busy with my little man during the day and not being[...]
