We're in the final countdown, guys! Christmas is 5 days away and I literally started AND finished my shopping TODAY. I wish I was kidding, but all I can say is TGFA (Thank God For Amazon). I don't always procrastinate so hard, it just took me a little longer than usual to get into the Christmas spirit this year. But once I got going, I was unstoppable ;) Can't wait to see everyone open their gifts in just a few short days! Anyway, although I was a little behind the ball in the gift department, I've been thinking about the[...]

Crock Pot/ Instant Pot
CrockPot season is here in full force! I actually use my CrockPot pretty consistently all year long, but now that is has cooled off, and it is pitch black by the time I get home from work (making it feel like dinner should have been served hours ago), that puppy basically has a permanent spot on our counter!

Gluten-free and Paleo-friendly winner of a recipe from Iowa Girl Eats, I now have the ingredient l[...]
We had a day of Fall here in San Diego! It went from 100º on Saturday, to a beautiful, crisp Sunday, with the temps maxing out around 75º. Now that's what I'm talking about!

We also had plans to have friends over later to watch football, so I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to make the season's first batch of chili. I looked around th[...]
I think I made it a full 2 weeks without posting a Mexican cuisine recipe! It was tough, but I got through it...by eating a bunch of Mexican food! #cantstopwontstop I couldn't hold on to this recipe any longer...it was just TOO delicious not to share! It involves a few of my favorite flavors including, but not limited to, Green Chile enchilada sauce, sweet potatoes, easy shredded chicken, and CHEESE. This healthified, grain free, layered "stack" will be perfect for any crowd, any night of the week! Ingredients: T[...]
I strongly believe that everyone needs a kick-butt spaghetti sauce recipe in their cooking arsenal. I can distinctly remember my aunt’s sauce simmering on the stove whenever my family would arrive in town to stay with her as a kid. Clutch move, as we all got hungry at different times and that sauce just bubbled away until we were ready to eat. My oldest brother nailed his recipe at an early age, sometime in his high school years. This came in very handy when my mom declared we were on our own for dinner! After many[...]
