We are officially moved into our new house! Boxes are everywhere and we can’t find anything, but we are already enjoying our new city. I got to sneak away to the farmer’s market on Saturday, and it was incredible. It was exactly how I always imagined a farmer’s market should be based on how they…

No Bake Cereal Bars
Hopefully this is the last recipe that comes from our Air Bnb kitchen. We are counting down the days until we get to move into our new house next weekend! There are a few things I have loved about our little stint in our home away from home. There is a beautiful park close to…
Easy Pork and Spinach Meatballs
Growing up, we were exclusively a meat sauce house. That means the only meatballs I ever had were the ones from the school cafeteria that had undoubtedly been frozen and thawed, then stewed for hours waiting for school children. Don’t get me wrong, my mom’s meat sauce is delicious, especially in the past few years….
Crispy Skillet Potatoes
Life has been extra turbulent lately. My little family is moving across the country in an effort to live our biggest lives, even when it’s scary. My husband’s new job is one that we hope will bring him more joy over the course of his life and contribute to the overall happiness of our family….
Travel Food
We are heading out on a big adventure tomorrow. The car is packed, the stops are planned, now all that’s left is the food! A 17 hour drive takes planning and careful consideration of how to entertain a baby and a toddler. This is the breakdown of what I’m bringing. First up: breakfast. We made…
Grandaddy’s Oat Bran Muffins
I have learned countless things from my dad. How to “box out” in basketball comes to the top of my mind. Other life lessons include always making sure my spatula is clean when flipping pancakes, leaving a campsite better than I found it, peanut butter both sides of bread when making a sandwich, and, my…
Review of Kerbey Lane Gluten Free Pancake Mix
We are in the middle of moving, so I have not been in the kitchen as often as I like to. One thing that has been a saving grace is trying out some new gluten free, dairy free mixes. It’s an easy cooking activity for me and my toddler, while keeping to clean up to…
Peaches, Berries, and Cream Popsicles
Summer has officially hit here in Houston. This means two things: First, if we don’t go outside before 10AM, we don’t go outside. Second, it’s popsicle season! If you haven’t made your own popsicles before, it can be intimidating, but I promise it’s just as easy as making a smoothie. You simply put that smoothie…
Review of Pamela’s Chocolate Cake Mix
We had a very busy weekend…again. Preparing a house to put it on the market is more of an ordeal than I ever imagined. Especially when you’ve put off painting projects for two years. My husband and I worked incredibly hard this weekend, trying to get it in tip top shape, and we are still…
Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies
If you are not a breakfast cookie convert, prepare to be. These carrot cake breakfast cookies are a great way to shake up the never ending cycle of oatmeal at our house. Eloise is on a peanut butter oatmeal kick lately. I like to keep changing things up when I can, so that there aren’t…
Snack Tray Lunches
Weather has been warm and beautiful lately, and we have been enjoying outside lunches as much as possible these days. The easiest way to make this happen has been snack tray lunches. What is a snack tray lunch you ask? It’s where I pile all the leftovers and odds and ends from the fridge onto…
Instant Pot Carnitas
Have you ever eaten a dish at a restaurant and thought, “I wish I could make that”. This is exactly what happened last weekend. We had a lovely weekend spending time with my husband’s brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. We don’t get to see them all that often, and it makes it extra sweet to see…
