I mean…
Well my my, what a year this has been… Between wildfires, Covid and racism… 2020 has been a trip hasn’t it? I don’t know about you, but I am kind of ready for it to be over, but while I am still in it… I thought, why not pick the blog back up? Share some things I am loving right now and maybe some things that I am not. Not sure why I didn’t think about this until now, perhaps it is because no one really knows what the hell was/is happening in the world and are just now making some adjustments as we ease into this new “normal”. What…

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…

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…

Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in America and I would like to share some tips on how to get healthier and also provide some yummy recipes too!

Which is great for you! Ground flaxseed hides easily in all sorts of foods — yogurt parfaits,…

Quinoa Pizza Crust
I am always looking for ways to have pizza and not do too much damage to my waistline. The hubs practically lived on pizza before we met, so I do my best to try and make it for him every once in a while. We eat cauliflower crust pizza at my house probably once a week because it is easy to make and great for you, but it doesn’t have the same “crunch” as normal pizza does. You know what I am talking about… The crust crunch you get when you go into a townie pizza parlor and the crust smells and tastes like it as made of angel wings.…

Roasted White Sweet Potato Fries
So this weekend we got some serious snow. Not as serious as some of the other storms we have had, but the rate at which it came down was the problem. I tend to like snow, but when you have to clean it up? Not so much fun anymore. I still think is is beautiful and since Patrick and I live in the woods, it makes for some pretty amazing views. We also tend to find some interesting prints in our snow after a big one, not sure if it is the neighbors cat or a animals from the woods. Probably a bit of both right? Speaking of critters… I…

Pumpkin Spiced Latte
We are official one month away from my wedding. Well technically 29 days today… AH!! I would like to take a moment and thank caffeine for getting to me where I am now. Without it? I am not quite sure that I would be alive at this point. No joke. Something about Fall though…makes me happy. SO happy! I love leaves, the cool weather, the going back to school (even though I have been out of school for yeaaaars). Wasn’t going back to school so much fun! Well for like a week, but still the back to school shopping and all that jazz! I also love Halloween and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving…

Mojito
Sometimes a girl just needs a drink! You know those things called weekends where you take it easy and relax? I have no idea what that means…. I work hard on the weekends. I renovate, I work out, I clean, I mow the lawn, I meet with vendors for the wedding. Weekends are NOT for relaxing for me right now. Hope that changes after the wedding though! But for now, they are jammed packed. Full of getting things done, having meetings with vendors, trying to keep the yard up and renovating our guest bathroom (which will hopefully be the last thing we do until next year) and trying to have…
