This gorgeous smoothie is a staple in my house! The color is a win for the kids, and the fiber is a win for me! I love that they can get such a burst of antioxidants from the load of blueberries that gets chucked in there, and the seeds give some great fats and fiber….

Mini Blackberry Scones
These mini scones are the perfect little baking project to make with the kids out of school this week. They are no more difficult than biscuits, but they seem festive and fancy. I love using frozen blackberries for these, as they are much cheaper and the flavor is great. Mini Blackberry Scones Ingredients 3 Tablespoons…
Roasted Broccoli and Chicken Alfredo
I love the decadence of Alfredo sauce. I have fond memories of going to Olive Garden with my mom and diving into a bowl of cheesy, saucy pasta. It was not something we typically cooked at home growing up, but I have found it is one of the easiest restaurant quality meals to recreate at…

I didn’t want them to go to waste, so I found a creative solution. We made Blueberry Applesauce! It was delicious. The apples pared down the…

Chimichurri Steak
Here’s the thing. I love having people over. I do not love that I usually get over excited and end up spending most of my time rushing around the kitchen trying to make the 8 dishes I planned to wow my guests. I grew up in a Southern home where you show your love in…
