For some reason I went CRAZY the other day and decided to tackle 5 recipes in one day. By 8pm I was like “what in the freaking hell was I thinking?”. What I was originally thinking is “oh Mark will be home by 4 that will give me pleantly of time to make 5 meals”. Was I… Continue reading 5 Freezer Meals and 4 Hours Later
Most of the time I feel like trying to figure out what to make for dinner is half the battle. Especially when I’m not in the mood to cook, shop…or even stand. Mark made his amazing guac last night (seriously, so yum) and it was about to be dead as doornails today, so I decided to… Continue reading Guacamole Chicken and Sweet Potato Fries
The other day I told Mark that we needed to start going on more dates. You know, get away from our child, spend a few hours together talking, eating and drinking, without a kid hanging on your leg? He liked this idea, but about 5 minutes after I suggested it, he decided to do something… Continue reading Date Night? No…Date Weekend.
I did it. I became a Blue Apron user. Okay, not really, I just got a coupon in the mail for a bajillion percent off so I had to try it. Otherwise, I’d be freaking stupid. I’ve been wanting to try this out for a while because everyone does it. Yes EVERYONE. And no, I’m not… Continue reading Product Review: Blue Apron
I made these for my child. Then my husband came home and tried to consume an entire cookie sheet of them. This is my constant battle. Trying to prevent my husband from eating all my child’s food. He ate a bite and asked, “What is this? It’s amazing!!!”. My answer…butter. No seriously, there are 2 sticks… Continue reading Crispy Cheese Wafers
I realize how hard it is to cook dinner now with a child clinging to my leg. Seriously, I invented a new game today. It’s called Scuttle. Cooper grabs onto my legs and shoves his head in between my knees and then I just start scurrying around the kitchen. This buys me about 1.5 minutes… Continue reading Mac and Cheese with Broccoli, Bacon and Chicken
Today was Mark’s first day back at work after a 2 week leave period. Is it a joke that they come back from deployment, and then have to go back to work? Like here’s your husband back, but wait now we are taking him back again. Ummm no. So this is the reason I love to… Continue reading King Ranch Chicken
The best part of military life it that you meet the most amazing people. It forces you to make friends in a flash, and they are usually the most welcoming people. Just this last week alone I’ve meet 4 different moms and their children at the park and beach. Sure, they aren’t all life long friendships,… Continue reading Color Block
The first morning Mark was home he asked what we should make for breakfast. I don’t remember the last time I “made” breakfast. Usually I munch on fruit while I’m feeding, changing and playing with my child. I don’t “make” myself breakfast anymore. Enter Mark. Now I have someone to help with my kid and… Continue reading 2 Great Breakfast Ideas and a Spin on the Classic Mimosa
