With the 4th of July just around the corner, I have the perfect summer get-together recipe for you! I know some people can have some pretty strong feelings when it comes to what kind of BBQ sauce they prefer. There's Kansas City Style, Texan, North Carolinian, and many more I'm sure. Me? I really don't care either way as long as it's tasty and there isn't high fructose corn syrup and maltodextrin in the ingredient list! (Sounds snooty, I know...what can I say?) I am a bit of an ingredient snob, but I do care what goes[...]

Who doesn't love pizza? Travis loves pizza almost as much as he loves nachos (that's saying something) so he get's pretty cranky if we go too long without a bonafide pizza night. So, we (I) go to great lengths around our house to make sure "we" are getting our pizza cravings satisfied. From cauliflower crust, to gluten-free flour blends, to these Pizza Stuffed Bell Peppers, we will do what it takes to make sure we aren't missing out on the amazing flavors of pizza (even though I mostly avoid gluten)! We typically reserve[...]
Who's excited for the Super Bowl this weekend!? I genuinely consider Super Bowl Sunday to be a legitimate holiday at our house. Regardless of who is playing, I get giddy with excitement the days leading up to the big event. When Travis and I were living that long-distance relationship life, being able to spend that "holiday" together was something I looked forward to most. There's a lot to love about Super Bowl Sunday. First, I enjoy getting the chance to learn more about the teams and their players. There are always such[...]
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[...]
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! This CrockPot (or Instant Pot) Italian Sausages and Peppers is another one of those reoccurring meals in our house. Gluten-free and Paleo-friendly winner of a recipe from Iowa Girl Eats, I now have the ingredient l[...]
I mentioned in my post a few weeks ago about our amazing trip to Denver that we went to a Diner, Drive-ins and Dives' featured restaurant called Sam's No. 3 for breakfast. (Apparently they go through 60 gallons of Green Chili/day...that is a little staggering but I am not the least bit surprised!) I had been there once before, and since our hotel was a block away, I was bound and determined to make it there the morning of my friend's wedding. Why was it so important that we cram breakfast into an already richly sched[...]
This low carb, paleo, whole 3o friendly meal is a fun way to use up more of that summer squash without much effort! We are back to the daily routine after an awesome week on the east coast. I always feel so fulfilled after getting to spend quality time with some of my closest girl friends. A lot of the people I love are spread all over the country, which is a bummer, but it also makes these visits that much sweeter! Plus, my friends make some really cute kids and it is so fun seeing the difference a year makes in their[...]
