My toddler has a brand new trick, and it's pure evil I tell you. Sure, he has the most beautiful big blue eyes you've ever seen, and he says and does things that could melt your heart in less than a second. But when he does something bad, he seems to play all his crazy cards and milks it for all it's worth. Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

Sure, sure. Yeah, yeah. We've all probably had some version of this soup - and for good reason. It's killer! However, I think darling Karen  had honestly cracked the code to making this soup TOP NOTCH. Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

We feel so lucky to live so close to (most of) our dear families! We're able to be present in case they need anything (emergency or non-emergency), we have the best free-and-always-willing babysitters around, and we're also able to celebrate life's big moments together as a family. Especially new little babies! Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

As much as I really love the warmer weather we've been having here in Utah (in February/March - it's been awesome!), I was hoping soup season hadn't come to a complete halt. Luckily, I opened up my window this morning to the fresh smell of a beautifully rainy morning - and it hasn't stopped since.  Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

One of my favorite things to eat on the planet is a giant bowl of tortilla chips alongside some fresh salsa and a pile of guacamole. Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

For a while, starting back in November, our little gym in our apartment complex was on the fritz. I would wake up early before the boys were even out of bed, get dressed, drag my feet to the "gym room" across the parking lot, turn on the light, step on the treadmill, only to find...  Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

We've made this a couple times in the past month, and were completely blown away by it the first time. I knew I had to make another batch right away to take a freaking picture of it before we ate it all in one sitting AGAIN. Yes. All in one sitting.  Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

I'm back, friends! This weekend we took a small trip to Pendleton, Oregon for a funeral. As many of you know, making an 8-hour drive anywhere automatically jumps to 9-10 hours with a toddler... Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

This is kind of a silly little recipe, and I almost didn't share, but sometimes those simple dinners we try are the ones our family falls head-over-heels over. Sometimes I'd spend hours in the kitchen with high hopes of full bellies and my favorite "mmmMMMMMmm" Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

With the holidays (and December) in full swing, every day seems to get more and more busy. And on those super-jam-packed days, there's nothing more that I'd like to do than pick up a few hoagie sandwiches, a bake-at-home pizza, or even a pile of tacos. Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

So there was this time in my life when broccoli was the devil, and I still slept with night light. I couldn't stand broccoli. If my Mom made something with broccoli (especially a casserole), I just hated it. How could one small vegetable look so hideous and infect the flavor of an entire bed of what could have been the best dinner ever? One time she hid it in my favorite au gratin potatoes and I thought I needed to move out at the age of 10. It was an abomination, and I wasn't having any of it for a second.  Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

Happy Monday, everyone! That weekend blew by way too fast - and the funny thing is that I think we mostly just sat around relaxing the whole time. Still, it sped by. It was a good break, though, from our usually jam-packed weekends. I think spending time with my little family is what I'd rather be doing than anything else on the planet, so it was a win-win in my book.  Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

At the end of every single month (and he does a mid-way check, too), my husband goes through our finances. He opens up our online bank statement, goes through every purchase that was made with our debit card, Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

Whenever my husband and I go out to dinner, which isn't all that often but certainly does happen, my husband will order something with fish in it 100% of the time. Why? I don't like fish. I don't make fish. I don't serve him fish. I suck at fish. Poor guy! Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE

There are weeks when we try new recipes for dinner almost every single night, and then there are weeks like a couple weeks ago when we just chug along with the usual tacos, spaghetti, etc. And hey! There's nothing wrong with that, friends.  Read More About This Recipe:  CLICK HERE
