This Texas heat has just been RUDE the past few days. I know, I know…I live in Texas. Texas is HOT. Get over it or move. Truth is I love Texas and Texas is my home. That doesn’t mean I get accustomed to or like the heat that always comes with the Texas summers. Add …
Nesting, Cooking, and Goodbyes
It’s only Wednesday. I feel like this week should already be over! I have done a lot this week though at the same time, it seems like I’ve done nothing. I blame it on full force nesting and stressing. I spent Monday moving our furniture around in our front room to try to make it …
5 Ingredients or Less, Quick and Easy Dishes
I love EASY dishes for dinner. I don’t like to go for dishes that call for pages of ingredients. Simple. That’s what this Mama wants. With 3 littles running around and needing me I just don’t have time for elaborate meals (and even with all the coffee I rarely have the energy for that). If …
Freezer Meal Prep Day 2
Day 2 would best be called Misadventures in Meal Prep! It was a disaster. Okay, disaster might be a strong word, but a lot went wrong. At the end of my prep on Saturday I realized I was 1 bag short of chicken so I had ordered some fresh chicken (it was $1.99/lb vs $2.33/lb). …
Freezer Meal Prep Day 1
Saturday was the perfect day to meal prep! My husband and I made a plan for him to watch the kiddos so I could get everything done. I love to meal prep freezer meals because I love just taking something out of the deep freeze, throw it in the microwave or InstaPot and go about …
Meal Prep Preparation
Picture a day that has been a hot mess day (almost every day in our house especially with everyone home and having been cooped up since March). All you want to do is take a few minutes to sit down but it’s 4 pm and you know you have to start getting dinner ready to …
Saturday Pizza Night
One of my favorite things to do when I was growing up was cooking with my Mom. She taught me a lot of things and I still harbor a love of cooking. I mostly love to do baking (you know, sweets, desserts, all those things I can’t have while I’m pregnant because Gestational Diabetes). I …
Patriotic Recipe Ideas
Good morning! I got up WAY too early this morning. I will need ALL the coffee today. Oh wait, I’m pregnant so I can only have 2 cups…I may not make it through the day. Last night my daughter and I stayed up and watched our local fireworks show…from the comfort of our bed! Our …
Simple and Delicious Tacos
What is better than tacos? It’s probably a toss up in our house between tacos and nachos to be honest. We could live on tacos or nachos! Add in a night with a quesadilla and we’d have it made. Who doesn’t love tacos? They are pretty simple to make, they’re good for a crowd, and …
Gardening with Kids
I don’t know about your kids, but if I’m doing something or trying to do something, the kids HAVE to be with me or they are going to DIE if they aren’t with me. Sometimes it can be so frustrating. Why? Because I know I could get things done so much faster if I just …
