I'm not mad about it at all!  I had every intention of posting this recipe on Friday, so that you could get your ducks in a row to make it to enjoy over this holiday week[...]

10 Tips to Get Back on Track After Vacation

Posted In: Lifestyle | Travel
We got back from our AMAZING trip to Glacier National Park late Sunday night and jumped RIGHT back into reality Monday morning. (Because, adulating.) We did as much as we could squeeze in during the 3 quick days we were there, including lots of sightseeing, hikes, bike rides, and of course, more than our fair share of eating!  I plan to tell ya all about[...]

Travis and I are about to take off on a fun adventure to Glacier National Park in Montana! I wanted to do something extra special for his 30th birthday, and after pressing him for a couple of weeks on what he wanted, he finally revealed that he really wanted to take a trip to Glacier Park to check off a bucket list item and start off his 30's on a high no[...]

Well, Travis's 30th birthday has come and gone, but the celebrating continues in our house this week! Our puppies are turning 2 tomorrow, and we are those people making a "thing" about it. Partly because...why not? Those that know us know that our doggies are very much at the center of our lives right now, so we (I) feel the need to spoil them and make[...]

Plus, I have found that Mexican food is easily adaptable for a[...]

Travis and I drove out to Tucson, Arizona last Thursday and had a great weekend visiting his family and celebrating the marriage of some great friends that Travis met in college.

By always having these items on hand, I can rest assured knowing that I can whip up a healthy, hearty meal on a whim, any time! Knowing what staples I n[...]

Pizza Stuffed Bell Peppers

Posted In: Pork | Recipes
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 Stuf[...]
