After three years away, we took a trip to the beach last month with Brian's family. The girls enjoyed the beach and had so much fun with our family. We actually got to see the entire side of one family and it was great being together!
Chicken Ravioli with Pesto and Veggies
13 August 2022
I cooked a lot a few weekends ago-- and everything was fantastic and bloggable. This one was so delish that we did a variation of it last night and that version/picture is coming so soon! This was easy and packed with flavor. I used my left over sun dried tomatoes from the couscous accident the day prior and anything with a basil pesto is something I absolutely want.
My kind of "salad."
12 August 2022
Not a salad fan here. But I'll eat couscous "salad" all day long! When I saw this recipe, I knew we needed to make it ASAP. Last weekend we grabbed a rotisserie chicken from Edwards and added this. I loved it! Would def recommend cutting back the amount of couscous unless you are cooking for a crowd. The artichokes and feta were the perfect additions! Make this!
Thai Basil Beef and Lemongrass Rice Bowls
11 August 2022
I've made plenty of variations of beef rice bowls. This one is my favorite! That lemongrass coconut rice is the bomb. It's so fantastic that I want it with every meal. I was worried it could be overpowering but it was not in the slightest. Perfect meal for any night of the week!
PreK Registration
10 August 2022
Took my big girl to her new big girl school to register last week. She's excited and I think I'm really excited too.. pause... yes, I am! She was incredibly quiet but I think she's really going to love all the things PreK has to offer. Maybe not the school lunch...
DIY: You're ex-STRAW Special!
09 August 2022
Freaked out the day of when I realized it was Kate's end of the year party and I had no end of the year gifts. Quick run to Target for these crazy straws. Grabbed an ADORABLE tag from Etsy that I altered from Valentines to ..I'll miss you-- called it a day. XOXO
Spicy Corn and Shishito Salad
08 August 2022
Just prepare to love this. It's so summer in a bowl. It's so fantastic. And light and just really good! We got a ton of fresh corn and I used that-- ready to make this one again!
4th of July in Pictures
07 August 2022
We had such a wonderful little 4th of July weekend! We had already planned to go to NWA for the holiday weekend and just spent even more time since we were up for my Nonno's funeral. We were able to hit all the family members and spend time with our friends too :)
