When I was doing Whole30, I got really good at reading labels and it opened up my eyes. Even my seasonings and dried herb mixes had a ton of ingredients I couldn’t understand or pronounced. I made this taco seasoning back in March and this week I made my second batch. It’s great with […]
I feel so productive when I make dinner in a slow cooker. It feels good knowing dinner is cooking itself. I’m working towards making at least a few crock pot meals several times a month, to include it in my Sunday meal prep. Lately though, I’ve been preparing the ingredients right before bed and letting […]
I made this almond crusted salmon twice during the month I did Whole 30. I bought 2 Costco size salmon, that was easily about 10 servings each. I bake it all at once and then portion and freeze half of it. I love salmon and usually bake/grill them with just a simple oil, salt & […]
I’ve always set aside time during the week to prep food ahead of time. This just makes my week less stressful and keeps my sanity. I do this most weeks, all year. But while on Whole30, planning ahead becomes very necessary (it was mandatory for me) in order to stay compliant throughout the week. I […]
This past week was a stressful one. The hubby was traveling for work conference, baby was sick and I had major deadlines at work. I had to leave work on time in order to pick up the little man at day care on time. Every minute spent at work had to be super efficient with […]

I love mini foods and always try to look for “mini” dishes to make whenever I’m hosting a party. I’m the type of person that likes to have a taste here and there, but don’t want to eat a full serving because then I will get full fast and won’t be able to taste the […]
On Friday evenings, the mood around the house is more relax than the rest of the week. We are getting ready for the weekend and we take more time preparing our dinner. As I mentioned before, it has been a good fishing season for Chris so our fish supply is abundant. We have a full […]
I can already tell that this blueberry crisp will be my go-to summer dessert. I’ve made it several times now, I’ve made it for company and served with a side of ice cream. I’ve also made it as our breakfast for the week. I found this recipe from the Bread and Wine: […]
I spent the afternoon with my niece, taking pictures of her frolicking in the garden. I love taking pictures, a ton of pictures. It’s even better when the subject is so much fun to play with. My sister dressed her up really cute. I wish I had outfits like my niece when I was little. […]
Last weekend, we drove up to Mammoth (one of my favorite places to go and relax) and spent a few days relaxing at a beautiful cabin surrounded by majestic mountains and fresh air. We go to Mammoth every year, twice this year, and this year’s second trip couldn’t have come at a better time. There […]
It’s a jolly Monday around here, my stiff neck is gone and my perky attitude is back. After sleeping pillow-less on Friday night, it felt so much better on Saturday morning. It’s a new day and a new week, one day closer to our wedding 🙂 I greeted the day with delicious and thick pancakes. […]
We are going on vacation and heading south of the border! Be… Right… Back… See you next week 🙂
