Tasty Tuesday: (Protein) Chocolate oat cookies.

April 9, 2019.Reading time 2 minutes.

There’s a backstory to the reason why I’ve gotten back on the “make your own protein, good for you snacks” train, but really, I know I just scroll by most of the “backstories” on other recipe posts, and not to mention – I’ve seen the abundance of memes popping up lately saying: Just get to […]

Tasty Tuesday: Cinnamon Raisin muffins, uh, I mean bread.

November 27, 2018.Reading time 6 minutes.

I don’t even know who I am anymore. There. I said it. I baked. AGAIN. Like I said, I don’t know who I am. It all started with about a hundred of those little tiny raisin boxes floating around my son’s snack basket (he’s been a raisin fiend for the past month), and shifted one […]

Tasty Tuesday: Quick Apple Bread.

I always feel like I need to preface ANY blog entry I do that is baking related: I’m not a baker. I’m still trying to work on it. Give me cooking any day, but baking – I can surely leave it behind. This past Sunday was definitely a clear reminder as to why. The night […]

Fall Tastes Tuesday: Chocolate Chip Pumpkin (Cake) Cookies.

September 25, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

It was still well over 90°F outside, with humidity percentages that made the air feel like a lead weight upon your chest, when we brought our first pumpkin of 2018 home from the store. One of our “larger” grocery stores supports our local farmers in a big way – which is pretty much one of […]

Tasty Tuesday: Double Chocolate PB Protein Cookies.

March 20, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

Why, oh why does everything in the world have coconut in some shape or form in it nowadays? I swear it’s the hardest allergy to navigate in the “coconut solves everything!” mindset of today. I’ve had to change lotions and sunscreens a million times, because by the time I find one coconut free, after I […]

Tasty Tuesday: Finally, Home Chef reviewed.

Oh, Home Chef. Where do I even start? If you’re following me on Instagram, you saw my stories the week our first Home Chef box arrived. And I’m also sure that you have an idea of exactly where this blog post is going to go… But, for those that don’t, or if you have a […]

Summer time. Although the weather here these past few days would have you feeling otherwise, it’s still the season of Summer, and it’s slowly winding down. Just a few weeks until the calendar turns to the Autumn season and it becomes all things spice, pumpkin – and crockpot. It wasn’t until this year that I […]

Happy Accident: Hello Fresh.

July 28, 2017.Reading time 8 minutes.

We had our annual summer break last week, and summer decided to finally make its landing at the same time. Ten glorious days, nine of them sun-filled and balmy. The last thing that I wanted to do was shop, and even more lastly, plan dinner. I figured that I’d just wing the week and if […]

“Hello”, Tasty Tuesday.

I’ve fallen off the wagon. I’ve taken a tumble out of my seat and right over the side of the wagon, hitting the ground as that wagon keeps rolling on by. What wagon have I fallen off of? Well… a few to be honest here. Blogging for starters. The small amount of time I have […]

Cooking on the fly. Why I scrapped meal planning.

January 6, 2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

My job schedule varies from season to season, but through my ease of being adaptable, I’ve still been able to stay pretty on schedule for each passing day. With the different seasons, I know which hours I’ll be in office and which hours I’ll be out and at events. That part never changes. However, each […]
