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: Pumpkin apple bread.

November 6, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

When you have a kid that just doesn’t have the ability to leave a pumpkin behind… you have to improvise. And given just how many pie pumpkins I’ve had to buy this year because of my whole “well, we can leave it out for decoration for a little bit, then cook it” leave nothing to […]

Tasty Tuesday: Quick Apple Bread.

October 30, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

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: Finally, Home Chef reviewed.

February 20, 2018.Reading time 8 minutes.

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 […]

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.

May 23, 2017.Reading time 12 minutes.

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 […]

Why Not Wednesday: Protein Granola Bars

August 31, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

I have forever been on a mission to make myself a better snack. One where I don’t have to give (re: compromise) too much, if anything at all. Remember my protein hockey pucks? Yeah, those babies steered me off the path of making my own snacks for a bit. I think I finally ended up […]
