Dark chocolate and cherry peanut butter oat bites make the perfect snack! These crunchy little morsels are perfectly sweetened with dark chocolate and dried cherries.

Tuna and Avocado Stuffed Tomatoes make a lighter lunch packed full of nutrients! I think I may have mentioned once or twice now that I’m seeing a nutritionist.

So excited that the party is back this week! I moved to a new server last week after four months of H-E-L-L on my old server and I am loving it! Guess what? My site doesn’t just randomly go offline anymore, I’m not being throttled, it’s all good! I feel like a huge weight has [...]
Perfectly delicious Chocolate Toffee No Bake Cookies made with Heath baking bits for those hot summer days! I thought summer had arrived early this year.

Allergies. Ugghh. They seem to get worse every year around here! This year we had winds like you wouldn’t believe that have extended the usual allergy season – not fun. In addition to the extra tissue that we stock up on during allergy season I like to remind the boys – daily, if necessary – [...]
Flashback: Chris and I are on our way to visit his parents in the Bay Area. We’re relatively new parents. Reece is just a few months old. About halfway through our trip (about 45 minutes in) we hear some gurgling from the back. And it’s not the gurgling that comes from that sweet baby mouth. [...]
Strawberry & Cream Cheese Muffins are perfect for breakfast any day of the week! I had every intention of making some blueberry muffins for this weekend. My Target always carries blueberries – always. Checked in twice this week and nada. Even went by my local farmer’s market store and they didn’t have blueberries either. What’s [...]
My boys are really into superheroes. Like, REALLY into superheros. I’m sure many of you moms with little boys can totally relate here :) We have everything – masks, capes, toys, figures, and they still can’t get enough! Reece had an Avengers party for his last birthday and of course my boys were super heroes [...]
Strawberry Lime Agua Fresca is the perfect refreshing drink for a hot summer day! I love making up punches and other special beverages when we have parties or guests over.

Slow Cooker Carnitas recipe that is muy bueno! Reece has picked a really bad trait that apparently runs in my family. He gets it from my sister Melissa. She’s the only other person I know that does this. When he eats certain meat, he tucks it into his cheek. He’ll take bite after bite, chewing [...]

Easy homemade flour tortillas that you can whip up at home! If you asked any member of my family what their favorite type of cuisine was…every single person would answer “Mexican!” We like it anyway we can get it: burritos, tacos, flautas, enchiladas, fajitas, quesadillas…hungry yet??
