I drive the classic Mom Car. You know the type – it’s crusted with spilled drinks, the crumbs of fishy crackers, and those annoying bits of black turf from soccer practice. Quite frankly, it’s almost always a hot mess. While I do periodically take the time to empty it out and vacuum it, the truth is…
The holiday season is upon us, and that means big meals, crowded ovens, and many mouths to feed in our home. I don’t know about you, but Christmas morning shouldn’t be chaotic in my book. Don’t get me wrong, I love the noise and craziness of kids and presents, but I want to enjoy that…
I LOVE Chicken Tortilla soup. I love the flavors, I love the colors, I love how it smells when it’s cooking…I love everything about it! I especially love how easy it is to make. I am finding more and more that “meal prepping” is the way to go these days. It cuts down on eating…

I can’t believe it…we are already entering into our last month of summer! I think I spend one month planning and enjoying summer activities, and one month planning for school to begin! Seriously, where has the time gone?? With school approaching, I find myself beginning to mentally plan ahead for the school year…I begin thinking…
Pizza is pretty much a “staple food” in our house. With 5 kids at home (3 of them teenage boys) we seem to average at least one Costco pizza a week. And while we love our Costco pizza, sometimes it’s nice to mix it up a little and consume our pizza a different way. I…
I love slow cooker meals! I’m sure you know that by now. I especially love them when life is crazy busy…and lately, it’s been crazy busy. This is one of my absolute favorite meals for the slow cooker. Get it all together the night before and tell the hubby or whichever teenager might be around to…
I completely believe the adage that 80% of weight loss starts in the kitchen and the remaining 20% continues in the gym. Actually, I might say that 50% of weight loss starts with a positive, patient attitude, 30% eating, and 20% working out. Technically yes, you can lose weight without working out. But I believe…
I love simple recipes that taste like you spent all day in the kitchen, slaving over the stove, when really you spent more time perusing Pinterest while the stove did all the hard work! White Chicken Chili is definitely one of those recipes that will “wow” your family and friends. I have a little secret…
Is there anything quite like tomato soup and a crust of bread or a golden grilled cheese sandwich on a stormy day? There’s something so comforting about it! Tomato soup is hands down one of my daughter’s most-requested lunch foods, so over the past few months, I’ve worked on tweaking a homemade Tomato Bisque recipe…
