A quick trip to Kansas was in store for Rob & I this last weekend. Rob's best friend was getting married, so we drove up on Friday to make it to the rehearsal and wedding on Saturday. Though we didn't stay for long, it was nice to take a few days off and go somewhere,… Continue reading Spinach & Mushroom Breakfast Pie

Sausage & Peppers with Zucchini Noodles
I think I've probably slept for 12 hours over the last day. I don't know why I've been so tired. Maybe all the stress from last week? I was supposed to do a million things when I woke up this morning, but instead took a nap. Right after I woke up. Makes sense, right? I… Continue reading Sausage & Peppers with Zucchini Noodles
Key Lime Powerbars
Woo. It has been one heck of a week. If you haven't been keeping up in the news (both national and local), Oklahoma teachers walked out of the classroom on Monday and have not been back since. Instead, roughly 30,000 of them are congregating at the state capitol, pushing for lawmakers to restore funding to… Continue reading Key Lime Powerbars
Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
I've been on this kick lately of eating comfort foods. Filling casseroles, meat and potatoes, and barbecue. Maybe it's because I know those meals won't be appetizing once summer rolls around, or maybe it's just a random craving I've been experiencing. Who knows. I've really started to enjoy shepherd's pie for dinner, though. I made… Continue reading Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
Maple-Pecan Sweet Potato Slices
You know how everyone says you gain 15 pounds during your first semester in college? The "freshman fifteen"? Why did nobody warn me about the "honeymoon fifteen"?! I've seriously gained 15 pounds since our wedding. Granted, the holidays were thrown in right after our wedding in October, so that didn't help any. I'm now absolutely… Continue reading Maple-Pecan Sweet Potato Slices
Sesame Chicken Chopped Salad
Let me tell you about my first week of 2018. Well, first we have to go back to last year. Dec. 31st, 2017. I wake up with a pain in my gut at about 1 in the morning. I traipse into the bathroom and stay there for approximately an hour and a half. I was… Continue reading Sesame Chicken Chopped Salad
Chicken & Veggie Skillet Dinner
Sometimes, all you want for dinner is something that you can make with one pan and one pan only. There's nothing worse than preparing a recipe and finding out you have to use 10 different pots, pans, bowls, and plates. Where's the fun in that?! You'll spend the rest of your evening doing dishes instead… Continue reading Chicken & Veggie Skillet Dinner
Roasted Veggie Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
Sometimes, you just need a kick in the butt to get motivated. I haven't been up-and-at-'em when it comes to cooking lately, and I've been slacking on my healthy habits. No more. It's time to take 2017 by the horns and make it our bi---oh, well you get the gist. In a fit of passion,… Continue reading Roasted Veggie Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
Chicken Satay Lettuce Wraps
I have a soft spot in my heart for lettuce wraps. I know, they sound gross. Nothing can compete with a regular 'ol sandwich, right? Wrong! Lettuce wraps are insanely delicious when they're prepared correctly. My favorite are these Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps which I make for lunch a lot around here: I made this new… Continue reading Chicken Satay Lettuce Wraps
Chorizo & Sweet Potato Soup
Happy New Year's Eve! I've never been a huge fan of NYE (probably because I don't really drink), but it feels refreshing to have a new beginning. 2016 hasn't been particularly excruciating for me as it has to many around the world, but it wasn't the most pleasant either. I'm definitely glad to see it… Continue reading Chorizo & Sweet Potato Soup
