Fall is coming fast, and even here in Florida I’ve been noticing a (very slight) drop in temperatures lately. That, in combination with being halfway through September, fall produce starting to appear on produce shelves in grocery stores, and football taking over television screens across America gets me so excited. I love fall! Now, I’ll…
Sargento Cheese Tasting Date Night
Time around these parts is a luxury, which is why date nights have (unfortunately) become few and far between. That said, we still love to take time together when we can and make the ordinary moments into something slightly more extraordinary. Recently, the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program and Sargento Natural Cheese allowed us to do just…
Things That Are Awesome
#1 – This man: AKA my husband. Who does things like have a pizza delivered to our house on a Friday night, because Friday nights are our pizza nights and this particular night I was home alone after being sick and exhausted all week while he was out at a concert in Orlando for his…
LJ & Blogs: Awkward BFFs
I have a confession. Blogging and I have an awkward relationship right now. I’ve tried all sorts of blogging and I think that’s led me to currently feeling like I don’t really know “how to blog”. When I first started blogging nearly three years ago, I blogged about all sorts of things – my daily…
Roasted Tomato, Cannellini & Goat Cheese Tart in a Quinoa Crust
I think by now, it’s pretty clear how gung-ho I am about fast and easy meals, particularly ones that can be made ahead of time. Sometimes, though, I like to walk into my kitchen and step away from the constraints of time and a busy life. I like to just take my time, create, and…
Veggie Bean Enchiladas
Good morning! We’re whirling away already over here – literally! I’ve got the dehydrator humming in the background with some kale chips. Can’t wait to see how they come out! I’m also going to be making some more dehydrated green bean and sweet potato chips later, too. One thing I’ve noticed since being diagnosed with…
Not-So-Chunky Monkey Smoothie
Quick! Stop what you’re doing and go make this smoothie right. this. instant! (Ok, don’t rush that much, I don’t need you tripping and falling on your face. Especially because I’m the kind of person who would laugh at that. I’m sorry?) Anyway, this smoothie is packed with easy, simple ingredients, tastes amazing, and is…
Back to School Reflections
Ready or not, it’s time to go back to school! Anyone else out there headed back to the ol’ university today? Kids being sent off to school? It’s that time of the year! Incidentally, this time of year always leaves me full of reflections, on my past, my present, and my goals for my future….
Banana Zucchini Bread
Some days are just plain weird. Ya feel me? It can be for absolutely no good reason at all, and that was me to a tee yesterday. Nothing to inherently make it a bad day – I got plenty of sleep the night before, work was active and super busy (which I actually love), I…
Weekend Lessons
When the power goes out and you live in a gated parking complex, it means you can’t get in or out. Hello Yahtzee by candlelight! Be proud to rock your inner nerd (on a back to school notebook spotted in Target – love it!) Styles always…
