This weekend was finally COLD you guys! I shouldn’t say finally because I wasn’t looking forward to it. The 60 degree weather we’ve been having here in NC has been such a tease. I’m so ready for spring, and flowers, and hikes and green! But, since it’s going to be cold for a couple of […]
I spend most days like this. Tangled up with you in sheets of exhaustion. Watching your eyes get heavy as you fall asleep at my breast. Knowing I shouldn’t let you, that I should pick you up and take you to your crib. Knowing full well that this has become a habit. But, also knowing […]
Hey guys! I know I usually post recipes on Sundays BUT we went on that hike last weekend so I was giddy about getting that post up first. But don’t fret! I’ve got a good recipe that I’m sharing today with you all! One thing I love about winter, and I mean the ONE thing, […]
The weather this weekend has been amazing! It was such a teaser because it felt so much like spring with the 60 degree temperatures. We decided to take advantage of it and traveled to the nearest mountains. What I will miss most about Knoxville is being so close to the Smokey’s, but the Greensboro area […]
New years resolutions can be such a let down. You make promises to yourself that you keep for maybe a month and then you see that hamburger you just cannot resist. The guilt you feel as you wipe away the greased evidence from your cheek and suddenly you hate yourself. Yeah, I am NOT about […]
Growing up, Christmas was my favorite holiday. I loved baking cookies for Santa, getting to open one of our gifts on Christmas Eve night and then waking up at 4:00 AM with anticipation to see if Santa had actually come. Then high school came and I moved in with my grandparents. Suddenly, Christmas wasn’t as […]
Is anyone else obsessed with spaghetti squash as much as my husband is? JK, I’m pretty obsessed too. We have made a bunch of different dishes with this hearty vegetable. It’s another great substitute for pasta (like my previous recipe). And since it is the new year when the goal is usually to get healthier, […]
Looking for some comfort food during a cold winter day but not wanting to sacrifice the calories? This sweet potato lasagna is your answer! Hearing the word “lasagna” used to freak me out. Not the word itself but it just sounded so intimidating to cook…and to eat. Pretty much anything Italian sounds intimidating. But, I […]
When I was pregnant with my daughter, people would always ask, “are you having a boy or a girl?”. When I revealed that the little life inside of me was a girl, I was so surprised by some of the responses I would get. People would say, “oh no, you’re in trouble!”, or “oh, I’m […]
Bacon makes everything better, don’t you agree? When I was pregnant I CRAVED me some crispy BLT sandwiches. What better way to switch up this classic sandwich and turn it into a dip? This savory dip is a family favorite. I started making it a couple of years ago and it is always requested any […]
