If you’ve followed me for any amount of time on Instagram, you know I love cooking. You may also know that I make muffins A LOT. They’re a family favorite. The kids love them and it’s a great way to use up ingredients. I’m a ‘use up what you have’ and ‘have fun making brand…
We have found that weekly meal planning is the best way to save time, money, and energy. It’s the system that we as a family come back to time and time again! When life gets busy (with the holidays, school, or general 2020 madness), everything can get out of wack. But that’s the beauty of…
As the weather cools off and we get into the holiday season, this is my favorite time of year to be in the kitchen. But that doesn’t mean meal planning, especially during the workweek, is “fun.” I love cooking the meals, don’t always love planning the meals! If meal planning is overwhelming, I’ve got a…
Last weekend we celebrated my daughter’s birthday! When we asked her how she wanted to celebrate this year (birthdays are hard in a pandemic, am I right?), she stated she really wanted a unicorn cake. Of course!

The Fourth of July holiday is upon us and I’m needing a quick and easy dessert recipe! We’re in the middle of a crazy summer and closing on our new home this week while making sure our current house stays clean for showings. Yes, an easy and delicious Fourth of July themed dessert is exactly…
Who can believe we are entering Memorial Day weekend? We don’t have any big “going anywhere” plans but that’s been motivating me more and more to get creative with ways to celebrate within my home and little neighborhood. For me Memorial Day means hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, coleslaw, and baked beans. Really just the…
Who else is tired of cooking? Who else feels like they have never cooked as many meals or done as many dishes as you have in the last few months? It’s not just the cooking that’s overwhelming, it’s the meal planning and prep! With fewer trips to the grocery store, we have to be strategic…
