This salad was made for my husband and me…he likes all things burger and meat related, and I like all things salad and lettuce related. He is like a grizzly bear and I am a rabbit. This salad was a cinch to throw together. Basically just take a cheeseburger, separate all the elements, dice them up, and throw… Continue reading Cheeseburger Salad
If you know anything about me, you’d know I’m dealthy scared of salad dressing. I mean what is that thick, white, creamy mixture. Seriously though, what are the ingredients? Well, I looked, and the first ingredient is cellulite. Yes, cellulite. This is why I never use the stuff. Because I’d rather not have patches of… Continue reading The BEST Salad Dressing Ever
I watch a ton of cooking shows. Like way too many. Like I probably need to stop. Pioneer Woman is one of my top 3 favorite shows. She makes me want to move to Oklahoma and live on a cattle ranch. Until winter hits, then I’d wanna get the hell outta there. Usually I just roast baby… Continue reading Roasted Carrots with Vinaigrette
I don’t really have a cool story to this post other than Mark and I napped with Cooper for over 2 hours today which I don’t think I have ever done in my life. IT WAS AMAZING. We are gonna do it every weekend now. Oh, and while I was mid-cooking, Cooper walked into the… Continue reading Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken, Creamed Corn and Mashed Potatoes

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
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
