Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
We're now less than a month away from our nearly two week long vacation. I. Cannot. Wait. I am seriously in need of a good decompress time. Work has been hectic and my allergies have been wreaking havoc on my body. Rob and I will drive the 20+ hours to my parents in Montana, attend… Continue reading Summer Squash Frittata
It's been so long since I've had a sweet dessert. Scratch that. It's been just a few days. But it feels like forever. I've never been a person with a sweet tooth. When it comes to breakfast, I choose savory over sweet things like pancakes, waffles, and French toast every time. Desserts are great, but… Continue reading Triple Berry Oatmeal Bars

How come nobody has thought of an easier way? Sure, you can cheat by adding a little bit of sugar, but it's still… Continue reading French Onion Pork Chops
Mondays. Ugh, Mondays. Like an itch you just can't shake, Mondays always hang over you. You know they're coming, you know they'll never go away, and yet every week by Friday you forget their existence. And then BAM! Sunday night rolls around and Monday is coming for you. I slept horribly last night, waking up… Continue reading Baked Mushroom Chicken & Rice
