I hope everyone had a scrumptious Thanksgiving! Ours was filled with family time, yummy food, and bingo. On Saturday we had an unexpected surprise…my sister-in-law gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! So we have been a little preoccupied with that 🙂 Also, just to put a ripple in the recipes I post on here,Continue reading “Happy Thanksgiving!”

Cranberry Upside-Down Coffee Cake
Source: The Craving Chronicles Baking is not my strong point. I have made several pound cakes that never want to leave the pan, and come out looking like a hot mess. They always taste delicious and that somehow makes up for the lack of presentation! I came across this recipe on Pinterest and thought itContinue reading “Cranberry Upside-Down Coffee Cake”
Just Could Not Wait
I know the rule is to start decorating for Christmas AFTER Thanksgiving, but I just could not wait to start decorating our new house for Christmas! So, I broke the rules and started decorating…a few days ago. I found these garland balls and bought some little ornaments, do-dads, and fake poinsettia flowers at a craftContinue reading “Just Could Not Wait”
Honey-Lime Chicken Enchiladas
Honey-Lime Chicken EnchiladasSource: The Sisters Cafe Lately, Nate and I have been working opposite schedules…he works 2pm-12:30am and I work 8am-5pm. During our first year of marriage, I would actually wait up until he got off so I could catch up with him. Now, not so much…I am just too tired from my job andContinue reading “Honey-Lime Chicken Enchiladas”
Roasted Asparagus & Penne with a White Wine Cream Sauce
I threw this recipe together on Friday night. I was at work thinking about what I wanted for dinner and this just popped into my head. This dish is a little fancier than my other recipes so far, and I accidentally made it vegetarian… but hey, you don’t always need meat! It would be perfectContinue reading “Roasted Asparagus & Penne with a White Wine Cream Sauce”
A Fun Saturday…OFF!
Not including our vacation back in September, I can’t remember that last day off Nate and I had together. All of the days off we have had in the past, we have always had to ask for. So you can imagine my excitement Thursday night when Nate told me chef gave him SATURDAY off! AllContinue reading “A Fun Saturday…OFF!”
Peachy Pineapple Corn Salsa
I can not believe it is November and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. After putting up and cleaning up the Halloween decorations I thought, why do we spend so much time decorating our homes, only to take it all down in what feels like days later? So, I am going to start decorating forContinue reading “Peachy Pineapple Corn Salsa”
Pea Soup
When Nate and I are on extreme opposite schedules, I will try to stay up and eat dinner with him. But sometimes no matter how hard I try, I can’t keep my eyes open. So when this happens I leave a dish prepared for him to just pop in the microwave to reheat. Also, IContinue reading “Pea Soup”
White Lasagna
Who doesn’t like lasagna? You can make it as simple or as complicated as you like, and it always tastes amazing. Not to mention the aroma of cheese and tomato sauce baking in the oven is worth every minute. But sometimes, you need to stray away from the norm and mix it up a little. Continue reading “White Lasagna”
Movember…
It is Wednesday, so I thought we could all use a laugh. Whatta catch 😉 So yesterday started Movember. What is Movember? My husband put it best on his facebook: Attention, friends. For those of you savvy to “no shave November” I suggest you try Movember this year. Lose the beard and grow a beautifulContinue reading “Movember…”
