Pasta Carbonora

Let's talk real quick about this amazing dish of pasta above. For the millionth time, I'm not a photographer and this was 10000x better than the picture looks. The egg on top set it over the TOP and this one has us going back for more every single time.

Thanksgiving Fun - 2019

I guess I've got to post about Thanksgiving before I can get to my scheduled Christmas posts. Poor Thanksgiving, you are even getting snubbed in my blog. But seriously, we had a great Thanksgiving. We spent a few days in El Dorado with the Hale Family and enjoyed every minute of it.

Fall Babes

Seriously can't get enough of these cute little sisters in their pumpkin bubbles. And yes-- I am so late posting this. Hoping to play a little catch up in the coming month. But back to the sweetness. I love these pictures so much. Kate's faces are priceless. And Emmy is just happy to be near sister. Love!

Wednesday is Spaghetti Day

I don't think I actually made this on Wednesday but my mom was just asking me about the book, "Wednesday is Spaghetti Day" so I figured I would title my post that. I've talked many times on my blog how I love Italian food and Brian does not. We instituted "Italian Sunday" at our house but that died after about 5 weeks.

Slow Cooker Chicken al Pastor Tacos

If you read my NYC FOOD blog post, you know that the Chicken al Pastor tacos at Oxomoco were Brian's favorite bite of our whole trip. Which got me thinking-- should we try to make these or just leave it alone and not make horrible tacos and squash the wonder memories of yum. Obviously I went with the first option or we wouldn't be here.

Perfect Little Weekend

This weekend was seriously the best. We had such a great time. I ended up doing something I'm totally against and said I would never do.... we decorated the house for Christmas. I do have a couple reasons for this. 1. Thanksgiving is late this year. 2. We're out of town this week, I go to Boston the next, when the heck would I get it done?! 3. KIDS!!! And ultimately the kids won. Kate is at the age where she realizes what is going on and I wanted her to be able to enjoy the Christmas joy for as long as possible. AND Brian came home Friday and said, "hey, let's go get our tree tomorrow." So that kind of helped.

Emmy Durl - Month 6

Emily you are six months! Six whole perfect, precious months with our sweet, adorable, perfect little girl. I don't know how we got so lucky to have such a wonderful, chill baby but we do. And you are the perfect piece to our little family of four. Half of a year with you has been the absolute best. And it's so perfect how the months just keep getting sweeter.

NYC Trip - The Food

When we started talking about taking a trip, we both decided that we wanted a more chill trip where we could go to some really nice restaurants, eat good food and not feel like we were "tourists." So naturally, we landed on New York City! And Brian immediately started planning where we would eat. Since food was such a large part of this trip, Brian and I decided it would be best to divide up my posts by food and non-food :) So here... eat your heart out!!

Halloween Treats for School

I'll admit-- I really do love making little creative treats for Kate's class. And now that Emily is also going to school, I'm sure I'll be making some for her friends soon. Luckily I can recycle all my old tricks for her ;)
