Big news today…we found a babysitter! Finding a babysitter is like choosing a spouse. Am I right, or am I right? Like how do you even go about finding one? And then trusting them on top of that? Like “here is my baby don’t kill it” They are literally in charge of keeping your child… Continue reading Ranch Chicken Casserole and a Babysitter
If someone would have told me 5 years ago that I would be married, have a 6 month old baby and be bringing a picnic dinner aboard a Navy ship for my husband right now I would have been like… “who are you?”. 20 year old Sophia – who was going to college, working as a waitress and… Continue reading Dinner aboard a Navy Ship
Mark and I are a tad obsessed with making the perfect breakfast potatoes. You know the ones you get in that awesome “hole in a wall” diner? Somehow those dudes always seem to get it right. Their potatoes are nice and golden brown and crispy with the perfect seasoning. Then you come home and try and… Continue reading Seafood Grill and Crispy Potatoes
I’m pretty sure we have all been there. You’re bored, you find yourself scrolling down your Facebook newsfeed, you are bombarded with those buzzed (or whatever) food videos, and you think to yourself “Gahhhh I HAVE to make that”. But then you never do. Enter Sophia. My goal the next few weeks is to make those recipes. I… Continue reading Baked Pesto Chicken
We just got back from an overnight stay in Savannah, Georgia. Which was freaking awesome. I always think traveling with the baby is this big extravagant thing. Just a heads up…I have been known to over exaggerate – but I think it makes life more fun. Anyways, traveling with the babe is so easy. He loves… Continue reading Nachos Baby
I was running around shopping all day, so once I got home I had no energy to cook an extravagant dinner. I was just about to pull the trigger and order take out when I was like, wait…I can totally just make a pizza myself. I had to run to the store though. So maybe it… Continue reading Homemade Pizza Night
Originally I was just going to make chicken tacos for dinner. But Mark suggested grilling up some fish as well, and when you live in freaking Florida – you have to do the fish thing. He even went to the fresh fish market to get the good stuff. I know, he’s good. Marks best friend… Continue reading Fish and Chicken Tacos
Almost every single morning I wake up with Mark at 5 am to make his lunch…and some breakfast for us too. But then I stopped and realized…the baby isn’t even awake at this hour, so why the hell am I awake?! Now, I try to pre-make (and freeze), as many breakfast/lunch items as I can. All at a… Continue reading Zucchini and Bean Burritos
Days like today, when I am doing the single parent thing because Mark is working so much, I pull out my handy dandy Crock Pot. Basically, the Crock Pot equals love. The amount of time you save alone makes you want to throw a dance party in your kitchen. That, on top of all the flavors marinating… Continue reading Crock Pot Ramen Noodles
Have you ever been in the check out at target with an “on the verge of a breaking down baby” in front of you? Yeah, that was me today. Before that, I went to get my eyebrows done – with the baby in tow – and he started being fussy so eventually I had him bouncing… Continue reading Chorizo and Kale Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
