I hope you checked out the balsamic spaghetti recipe I posted a couple days ago. I had some extra burrata left from that dish so I whipped up a quick appetizer and it was really lovely. Super easy, super fresh, light and again.. just lovely! Try it!
Summer Lovin: Chimichurri Grilled Chicken
23 March 2023
Want to talk about recipes that will be on repeat all summer long?! This one right here! Goodness it was so fresh and mighty. And bright and flavorful! The recipe calls for tomatoes in the couscous but we switched it up. We wanted some grilled veggies so we tossed the tomatoes and asparagus in a grill basket and then added it as a side. Solid decision!
Balsamic Spaghetti + Burrata
22 March 2023
Man.. this one was a homerun! It was so fantastic!! Plus we made fresh Italian bread and dipping oil. Really exceeded my expectations. Had that balsamic that we love but also a touch of heat. Really, really wonderful and a perfect addition to Italian Sunday!
Soft & lovely chocolate chip cookies
21 March 2023
New cookie recipe! I've tried so many and this is by far the softest, if that's your style.. try this! Really really fantastic. I ended up making these into cookie sandwiches the next day and they were really just over the top wonderful!
Kate lost her FIRST tooth!
20 March 2023
Big excitement in our house last week--Kate lost her first tooth! We actually didn't realize one was loose until her dentist appt last month. She's been wiggling it ever since. Brian let her know there would be blood involved so she stopped messing with it so much and it just fell out while at school last week. She was too thrilled!
Jalapeno Pork + Cilantro Rice
16 March 2023
We made this meal last weekend and it was packed with flavor! We ended up cooking the pork in the cast iron and it had a really great crust. The cilantro rice was really really great. We've made different versions in the past but I think this is the most perfect one and I know I'll make it again!
I fly like paper, get high like planes
15 March 2023
Unless you went to college in the middle 2000s, you might not love my title here. But it's all I can think about when Brian talks about this drink. His new favorite, a paper plane. Check it out below!
Better than Boxed Brownies
14 March 2023
I made some really wonderful brownies this weekend! I asked the kiddos (including Brian) if they wanted cookies or brownies and it was unanimous. I wanted to try out this new recipe and it did not disappoint. It was so fantastical and magical! :)
Wye Mountain Daffodils
13 March 2023
This past weekend we went to Wye Mountain to check out the daffodil festival. We hit it right before it started raining. It was terribly cold and overcast but we still managed to have a good time and get some quality time out of the house. Win!
Grilled Lamb
12 March 2023
We grabbed these lamb chops at Costco a couple weeks ago and man, they were really wonderful. They were perfectly seasoned, perfectly grilled and just really perfect all around. We served with roasted carrots and a mustard sauce, yum. Try these!!
Boujie Grilled Cheese
I know I've posted about grilled cheese sandwiches on here before. I've never been a fan until I figure out how to make GOOD grilled cheese! Outside of the fantastic and delish one from Starbucks-- that's almost my very favorite. But my actual favorite is mine and now the one above. I grabbed some unexpected cheddar shredded cheese from trader joes and used it mixed with yellow sharp cheddar and BAM. Heavenly! Warmed up some canned tomato soup, added some seasonings and then made some quick croutons with homemade bread... BAM BAM again. Try it!
Fat Tuesday 2023
11 March 2023
We had a blast at the annual Mardi-party at Trinity Episcopal! Can't believe this will be our last year at the girls school. We love this one. Might have to go back just because!
Sea Salted Caramel Brownies
10 March 2023
OKAY if you want something super wonderful and fantastic and rich and just really wonderfully perfect. You are in the right spot. This caramel brownie is everything I never knew I needed. And I need another one right now.
Jambalaya by BJ
09 March 2023
We love this dish! I'm already wishing we had it again. Brian puts his own spin and cooks it in a dutch oven on the stove and skips that oven business that I've listed below. This past time we roasted some okra to go with it and BAM. So delish. Try it!
LR Central Cheer Clinic
08 March 2023
Kate participated in the Little Rock Central High School cheer clinic a couple weeks ago. They spent a Saturday morning practicing and then performed at the basketball game the following weekend. It was so cute and Kate was so excited to perform. She's still chanting "TIGERS!" from time to time. And that picture above it just my fav.
