We spent three full days in Idaho for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful! I hope you all had as good a Thanksgiving as we did. Talk about a great weekend with tons of food and family. I’m already looking forward to Christmas time and all the yummy treats and goodies, as well as more time…
Healthy Carbonara
This girl loves her pasta! Indeed I do. Pasta is one of my food weaknesses. But it isn’t always weight loss friendly, which is what I need right now as I’m slowly but surely getting baby weight off. I was really craving some pasta last week but didn’t want to throw all my hard work…
Apricot Chicken {Crock Pot}
This is another of the many chicken dishes we’ve tried in the last few weeks. It’s easy, it’s yummy, and the whole family loved it. My favorite meals are good meals that come together easily. I love being able to throw dinner in my crock pot then “set it and forget it!” (Oh wait,…
Balsamic Chicken
We bought quite the bag of chicken at Costco last week and now we’re on a major chicken kick! Can I just say, the bag of frozen chicken breasts at Costco is WONDERFUL! Each chicken breast is trimmed and individually wrapped, and they’re all the same size. It’s a little more pricey than say a…
Grilled (or Baked) Brown Sugar Salmon
One of the reasons I love having a grill is because I can keep using it into the colder months. We love grilling all kinds of yummy foods throughout the year. Last night we decided to grill some salmon but do something a little different to kick up the flavor. I love salmon on the…

Growing up my mom was a pro at making kid-friendly dinners. She had quite the list of ideas for dinners that made everybody happy. One of my favorite meals growing up was American Tacos. I loved the idea of building my own dinner all by myself, plus the added bonus of it tasting amazing. I…
Carino’s Italian Nachos
I worked at Carino’s Italian for almost 10 years. Ten years! I started work there when I was 17 and I loved it. It was 2001 and back then the restaurant was called Johnny Carino’s. I was a hostess and a table tender (busser), then as I got older I became a server and bartender. I made…
Pizza Roll Ups
We’re in the process of getting our apartment packed up to move next week. Needless to say, it’s been a little stressful around here! Last night I thought I should probably cook a meal for my family for once. I’m normally pretty on the ball with family dinners, cooking something different every other night with…
