We tried a new curry and absolutely love it! Emily eats it up so fast. It's in the constant rotation around here. We cook it with salmon and chicken and it's honestly fantastic with both! Served with wok-fried green beans, perfect weeknight dinner!
Garlicky Chicken with Anchovies
02 November 2024
This recipe was so delish that I've decided I'm going to make it again tonight. It was so neat how the anchovies just dissolve. The recipe said that but it was still awesome. And the flavor of this dish is really excellent. It's super easy. You won't regret trying this!
Johnston Holland Roastery
01 November 2024
So we have a new hobby.. I say new, we've been doing this since the spring. When we went to NOLA earlier this year, Brian and Christian bought a coffee roasting thing. Since we're now right around the corner from each other, it works out great. And it's a fun little weekend activity. Just think about all the money we are saving by buying all this stuff so we can roast our own green beans..... HA.

The girls went back to school last month and everyone loves being at the same school! Emmy is having a harder adjustment to the uniform policy and the whole no naps things! Makes for very tired evenings and earlier bedtimes!
BVT: Dining Room
31 August 2024
This room came together the quickest and easiest in our home. There is still so much I can do-- mainly to the walls. But for now, it works. I honestly didn't think we would use this room very much but now that we have so many family members in town, we use it pretty often. And when friends come to stay, it's nice to have the kitchen table for the kids (or the patio!) and then dining room for the adults.
Beach Trip 2024
30 August 2024
We had such a fun trip to the beach this summer. We flew again, which the girls thought was so fun! Except the day we came home-- was the crowdstrike nightmare! We made it home by some miracle. Lots of fun was had all around and we loved seeing the girls spend so much time playing with cousins and our family!
NOLA Trip 2024
27 August 2024
We took a fun little long weekend trip to NOLA again this year. Has been one of our favorite things. Almost canceled this year because Molly and Christian moved to Little Rock! Luckily the dates worked out and we actually got spend their last weekend in town with them. SO much fun going on a farewell tour with some of NOLAs biggest foodies.
Last Day of School 2024

Happy last day of school!! I didn't get a picture of the girls together but did get individual ones and I'm going to include the side-by-sides at the bottom of this post.
Recipe: Crispy Quesadillas with Salsa + Crema
25 August 2024
This recipe quickly became a staple in our dinner rotation. It's so delicious and every person craves it. Well maybe Kate doesn't. But the salsa and the crema are wonderful-- don't skip them. And they are fantastic leftover the next day.
