Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
Have you ever seen the episode of 'The Office' where Michael burns his foot on a George Foreman grill because he likes the smell of bacon when he wakes up and stepped on it? It seems so unrealistic that it's funny. Too bad that pretty much happened to me on Saturday. No, it wasn't a… Continue reading Green Chile Deviled Eggs
I've been feeling a bit under the weather this weekend, but have pushed through to make sure I meal prepped for the week. If I don't meal prep, I'm absolutely lost. There's also NO way I can cook on the weekdays. I'm usually pretty pooped after work and there's no way I can slave over… Continue reading Creamy Pesto Chicken Skillet

I love cauliflower just straight off the head and dipped in ranch---even dipped in nothing… Continue reading Cauliflower Antipasto

All the recipes I researched and thought of before I went grocery shopping last week just happened to be a stuffed version of something or other. But hey,… Continue reading Taco & Pepper Jack Stuffed Bell Peppers
A friend of mine posed this question on Facebook a few weeks ago, and it really struck a chord with me: Why has getting gas become such a burdensome chore? It's the one of the easiest things we do as adults. Heck, with technology over the last two decades, we barely even have to get… Continue reading Mini Pepper Party Poppers
