Simple, beautiful living.
It is FREEZING here so there is nothing like a hot bowl of soup. I made this quick chicken noodle soup before we had to run out for a basketball game. This is perfect for any busy weeknight! The rotisserie chicken is your best friend here. I sauteed one diced onion, about 1 cup of chopped carrots in olive oil. Salt and pepper. Add one
Having dinner as a family is something I love but it is a challenge to do. Especially as the kids get older. I don’t believe in complicated or fancy. That’s ok if that’s your thing, nothing against it. Simple is key for this mom. During the week when we are juggling sports and work schedules, easy dinners are my go-to. Here are a few easy
Comfort food at it’s best, Mac and Cheese! This was a ten-minute meal since I had a half a pound of elbow pasta from the other night. A few simple ingredients and dinner is ready! I love a little crunch so I put some in a ramekin and topped with seasoned panko crumbs and popped under the broiler for a few minutes. You can skip
I don’t know why exactly but homemade bread and crusts are intimidating to me. I always think they are too complicated or that it won’t turn out. (The exception is the No-Knead Bread), More often than not I use store bought dough but every now and then I think I should make my own, no more excuses! I got the recipe from Ms. Edie’s blog
I’ve been really trying to meal plan for the week so that dinners don’t seem so daunting. Coming up with ideas is half the battle for me. I use Pinterest and Food Network for most of my ideas. This is my version of Buffalo Chicken soup because I can never follow a recipe exactly.
I loved this recipe! So easy to put together! It went over big with the whole family. Might be a new family favorite. Normally, I bake my meatballs but frying them makes them SO good! Love the one or in this case, two pot dinners, can’t beat it. I got the recipe over at Life in Grace and changed it up a little :) My
We had a college visit last week and another this week which is exciting and a little scary. Honestly, I can’t imagine home without her every day. She’s my go-to when I need a little sanity. It makes my heart ache to think about it but I will manage as I always do. Being a mom has been the single greatest gift in my life. She
Who doesn’t love a simple recipe that is quick to pull together and delicious? This is a family favorite! Fettuccine Alfredo – Easy Weeknight Dinner. I did an organic version this weekend and it was super. One lb box fettuccine pasta from Whole Foods (love that place!). It may have replaced Trader Joe’s for me! Cook as directed on box. Half stick butter Pint-size carton half &
I love a good soup! It seems like Fall came overnight here. Nothing better than a cool sunny afternoon watching football and a pot of soup on the stove. This is a simple recipe that can be edited as you wish. Nearly every soup I make starts with onions and garlic! They are my go-to ingredients. Here’s what to do! Half a sweet onion chopped. A
Hello!! Long time no talk. I have the EASIEST dessert ever! This is perfect for summer when you don’t have time to fuss with dessert. This is perfect for summer when you don’t have time to fuss with dessert. It’s a cobbler style cake. I hate the name of it but it’s called Raspberry Dump Cake (or whatever filling you use).
