2016 and Life
My life has been, let’s just say…busy since the beginning of the year. I turned 31 this year. Lots of new starts, new adventures, new challenges and many changes. I have been neglecting the blog a lot this year, ever since I got married really and it has made me sad. My blog has always been a large part of me, and who I am. Something that I identify with. I have made a pact to myself to get back into it and pay more attention to my blog, even if that means I am just sharing pictures now and again. Which is mainly what this blog is going to…

Winter Brussel Sprouts & Onion Sauté
Happy December! Seriously where in the world has this year gone? I apologize for my lack of posts this year… I have had a lot of change happening. Good change I think, but change none the less. My new job is going well, it is SO new to me, but thankfully I work with a lot of really supportive people. It is nice to know that people are there to work with you and not against you. Changing jobs has literally turned my life upside down..my schedule has changed, I have had many personal struggles and new hurdles to try and conquer this year. To say the least. Changes is…

Candy Corn Cookies
BOO! Did I scare you? Happy Halloween friends! Well, the day before, but all the same. I have been on a little bit of a hiatus because I started a new job and I am trying to get my new schedule figured out. Different hours, long hours, which is good. I an really enjoying the challenge, but it takes some time getting used it. I try to practice having patience with myself with getting back into my routines, but let’s be honest… I don’t really possess patience 😛 It was time for a move in my old job, not much room for growth and now I am with a company…

Snickerdoodles {Paleo}
Confession… I love cookies. and cinnamon. But mostly cookies. I mean this is my second cookie post this week. Dogs and cats living together…MASS HYSTERIA! (name that movie and I’ll be your friend forever 😉 ) Enough about cookies… I am super excited today because I am headed to see one of best friends in the WHOOOLE world! Chrissy! WOOHOO! I love this girl so much. She actually just came to visit me but she’s got a big birthday coming up and I am SO excited to celebrate with her. Heading down to the Philly area to see some old friends and check out the old stomping ground and hang…

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie? I haven’t met one person, What’s not to like? Chocolate, cookie, dough… I always remember being SO excited coming home to warm cookies on the counter. I was SUPER picky when I was little, so I was lucky enough to have a mom that would always leave out the chocolate chips of a couple of the cookies. Every now and again she still does it, even though I’m 30 😉 There is always the great debate on how a cookie texture should be. I am on the side of chewy gooey on the inside with a crispy crunch on the outside. I am…

Mushroom PepperJack Bison Burgers w/ Zucchini Chips
It’s Burger Month!! #burgermonth Kita over at Girl Carnivore has an amazing line up for 30+ bloggers that are all posting burgers for the month of August.

Check this girl out. Her recipes are EPIC! Of course, it being burger month I had to come up with something worthy of the event. To me having burgers in the summer is a must. Growing up in Kansas City (Kansas NOT Missouri), you…

Homemade Salsa
Holy August Batman! Is anyone else’s garden exploding? Mine is! Every day I am bringing in more tomatoes, squash, peppers, herbs… I mean don’t get me wrong, I love having fresh vegetables and herbs right outside my door, but good lord. There could be a small farm stand at the end of my driveway and I could STILL have too much. Makes for a happy coworkers and lots of ideas for a food blogger 😉 All kidding aside I really do enjoy having a garden. It keeps me busy and I love knowing where my food comes from. Clearly anyone who knows me, knows that I am all about eating…

Grilled Corn
Hey! So remember how I used to be a food blogger?! Holy shit. Meeee too! Life has gotten in the way quite a bit. Once upon a time… Before I owned a house… Became a wife… Got a puppy… Worked full-time… I could regularly do, just that. Lately, it has been quite the struggle. Now that Patrick travels pretty much every month, a lot of the responsibility of the house falls on me. And that’s okay. It is part of it, but it definitely doesn’t leave a lot of free time for me. I am fine with being alone. I have never been one of those people that is afraid…

Teddy Treats (Doggie Treats)
It has started my friends. I am one of “those” dog people. I am one of “those” dog Moms. You know what though? I am good with it! I have waited SO SO long to have a dog that I am not even remotely ashamed to admit that my doggie is important to me. SUPER important! And we have only had him 3 weeks. It seems like a lifetime, but in a good way. Teddy still doesn’t sleep all the way through the night. He wakes up about every 3-4 hours needing to go outside, but at least he tells us he needs to! We are keeping him in our…

Homemade Crockpot Applesauce
So hey! Happy Cinco de Mayo! I don’t have a fancy Mexican inspired dish for you, unless you want to count the cinnamon. But technically I think it needs to accompany chocolate to be considered “Mexican inspired”. We are having a Taco Tuesday to celebrate, but I want to talk Apples. Do you ever have so many apples that you don’t know what to do with them all? We always have apples in our house, because I could literally eat one just about every single day! Patrick and I live close to so many amazing orchards that it is hard not to have them all the time. However, sometimes we…

Paleo Banana Bread
Meet Teddy! My cuddly little ball of fur that I welcomed into my home on April 18th! This little nugget was born on February 23rd 2015, and at 9 weeks old he is already 12lbs! He is going to be a monster 🙂 It has been quite an adjustment the past few days. Teddy has been giving us a run for our money, but that is ok! I am loving every second. Mornings look like this now… He is constantly underfoot. ESPECIALLY when I am in the kitchen. Which, let’s be honest…is all the time. If I’m not sleeping, at the gym, or eating…I am in the kitchen making something…
