Well… I knew I would have my hands full once Wyatt made his arrival, but I definitely underestimated how tired I would be with two little ones. Thank goodness for our AMAZING family bringing us food and the freezer meals that I prepared at the end of my pregnancy. I can’t lie, these past few weeks …
Second Birthday Goodies
I know I have been super behind on my blog posts lately… like not even posting a meal plan for last week or this week yet… but I wanted to share what was made for Adele’s second birthday party. She is obsessed with the show Sheriff Callie’s Wild West so naturally, that is the theme …
Slow Cooker Chicken Leg Quarters and Half Roasted Cauliflower Casserole
Thank goodness for the Crock Pot is all I have to say. It makes it almost impossible to mess up a meal. Everything always comes out juicy, tender and delicious. This rang true again with the chicken leg quarters that I made today. I based my recipe off of Briana Thomas’s recipe on her blog. …
Eggplant Parmesan
When I mentioned to Kyle that I was thinking of adding eggplant parmesan to our meal plan and he said, “I have never had that before” I knew that I had to make it! Kyle loved it and I know you will too! I have been all about using my sheet pans lately and I …
Jerk Chicken Dinner
This dinner made it to the top three of dinners I have made so far. The flavors played off of each other perfectly. I will actually be making this again soon so that I can share it with my parents. I know they will love it too! Once again I have put all of the …

Chicken Strips Two Ways
I try to be as real and honest as possible because life is never simple, especially when you are a parent. This has been a trying week both with my meal plan and with how I have been feeling at the end of this pregnancy. First I struggled with my broiler making my sheet pan steak, then …
Sheet Pan Steak
Tonight I decided to try something I have seen on Pinterest many times but had never made it for some reason: Sheet Pan Steak. Since this was the first time I have ever made this (and I’m not a professional chef :P), it did not go as smooth as I had hoped. I had read …
Chunky Garden Style Spaghetti Sauce
I felt that it was necessary to share a recipe that is all my own and not something I found somewhere on Pinterest. This recipe has taken a lot of experimenting to get it just perfect for our family. We like a spaghetti sauce with lots of textures; meaning CHUNKY. This is filled with ground …
One recipe, Two Meals
As I mentioned in my “About Me” section, I love to reinvent leftovers into something amazing. Last week we made Honey Spiced Glazed Chicken Thighs from The Nutmeg Nanny. This recipe is going to be a staple in our house! It has a nice kick with a well balanced sweetness from the honey glaze. Honey …
