It's been a while since I've done a post like this, and I figured it was time! I love hearing what other moms recommend when it comes to feeding their family, so I wanted to share with you what we've been enjoying! I usually keep a list of meal ideas and recipes on my free Evernote account (my FAVORITE note-taking service, because it syncs between your phone and computer). Some of our recent favorite meals also come from a quick screenshot I took when someone else shared a meal idea on … [Read more...]
BBQ Ranch Pork Nachos
It's been quite some time since I've last shared a recipe! But that doesn't mean I haven't been enjoying cooking! I always enjoy finding new recipes and cooking fun meals for my family. I used to share recipes here more frequently but time sure flies when you have two little ones, and I haven't been actively creating new recipes of my own for a while...until recently!

But it turns out, I just needed to experiment a lot, … [Read more...]
Recipes We’ve Been Loving Lately (+ a peek at what we’re trying this week!)
Maybe it's pregnancy, nesting, or it's just a new fun "hobby," but I've been really into finding new recipes recently! Some of them have been healthy and some have been...well, not healthy, but definitely still delicious! :) Bjorn was gone for a month this summer for army, and that's when I got a bit carried away with desserts! Hypothetically, it's a little dangerous for me as a pregnant mama to sit home alone with my daughter and a huge batch of raspberry dark chocolate cookies. … [Read more...]
Easy Shepherd’s Pie
What?! Another recipe so soon? :) Yep! This is a favorite meal in our family. I actually have to try hard not to make it once a week, because I really don't want us to get tired of it! :) If you're in the market for an easy supper recipe that's full of flavor (and nutritious veggies!), then you'll have to try this out. Shepherd's pie is another type of hot dish or casserole, and this meal is definitely one to have ready in your arsenal when your family is hungry and it's time for something … [Read more...]
