If you are anything like me, you don’t need an excuse to eat Mexican food. Tacos on Wednesday taste just as delicious on Tuesday. But having a holiday that basically begs you to eat chips and salsa all day? Yes, please! Cinco de Mayo, you wonderful day. And while it’s not really observed IN Mexico… [Read More]
Easy homemade applesauce

The Summer Sanity Saver – a perfect drink for a summer evening
I don’t know about the rest of you, but as awesome as summer is, some days it just zaps me of absolutely everything. On days like this, I like to pour a glass of wine and sit outside on the back porch and just exist. Sometimes though, a glass of wine doesn’t cut it. I want… [Read More]
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie

An Easy Dinner Recipe {Asparagus Chicken Crescent Rolls}
This afternoon, I was in the car trying to figure out what the heck I was going to make for dinner. It’s a common problem. I feel like we are in a rut and make the same few things OVER and OVER. I tried to think of a veggie we hadn’t had in awhile and… [Read More]
