A few years ago, my husband and I went to Florida. We were going to be staying in a friend’s condo for free, which was an amazing deal! However, when we arrived, it wasn’t everything we expected. Apparently there had been some miscommunication between the owner and family members about who was caring for the condo. It was… a disappointment …
If you read my recent recipe for Apple Walnut Spice Muffins, you will know that I have a bunch of Granny Smith apples to get through before they go bad. Not only did I recently discover that my husband doesn’t enjoy green apples, but I also discovered he has never had a turnover! What?! Crazy talk, I know. I’m not …
Let’s talk about food fails for a minute. I cook a lot. I bake a lot. However, I would never claim to be a chef or a “good” cook. I like things that are easy and that are delicious. I like to feel good about what I’m making and what I’m eating. This also means experimenting with different recipes, ingredients, …
My husband loves all food. You know when you order food at a restaurant and they bring it out on lettuce or with a lettuce garnish? Yeah, he eats the lettuce. I love that he loves all food. He always tells me how great any dish I make tastes and will eat up every bite. There is hardly ever any …
Winter is finally here in Michigan. Sad face. I have really enjoyed the mild, 40 degree, no jacket days. I didn’t miss the snow or the car doors freezing shut or not being able to breath when you walk outside. But I knew it couldn’t last forever. Now we are at highs of 15 degrees and snow every day. The …
My husband and I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day. We have too many other anniversaries to celebrate. We will usually spend the day together, maybe throw a quick “Happy V-day around.” But nothing out of the ordinary. However, I wanted to make a special Valentine’s Day treat because… well, I’m pregnant and I need cookies. So really they were for …
I have thing for rice. Or noodles. Whichever. I love them. Or bread. Or potatoes. Maybe I actually just have thing for carbs? My husband thinks I am such a weirdo, but I could literally sit down and eat a whole bowl of rice/noodles and butter. Super unhealthy, but super delicious! So anytime I can add rice to a meal, …
I’m just going to say it. I hate cauliflower. I don’t like the smell or the taste or the texture. I don’t even really like the color. I don’t know why, but I’ve always had an aversion to cauliflower. But my husband loves it. He is a really good vegetarian because he loves all vegetables. Me? I’m like a child… …
I love potatoes and I love ranch. So this recipe is one of my favorites. Maybe even THE favorite. You take some delicious red skin potatoes and throw a little Ranch seasoning on them and boom! Party in your mouth! My husband and I lived with his mom for a few years before we got married and bought our own …
Happy World Nutella Day! For today’s recipe, I decided to take my favorite peanut butter banana bread recipe (since my freezer is overflowing with bananas) and add a little punch of Nutella for World Nutella Day! I will start by saying that one of the reasons I love this banana bread recipe is because it is mostly healthy and packed …
