One of my favorite sandwiches to grab on the go is Starbucks Roasted Tomato and Mozzarella Panini. I’ve been meaning to try a DIY version for months now and finally got around to it. It was so yummy and writing up this post makes me want another one right now! And it’s easy so [...]
I’m all about coffee cake, largely because it’s intended to be consumed with coffee. You know what that means, right? Cake for breakfast. Score. Baking it in a Bundt pan makes it look fancy, but this is a really easy recipe. What You’ll Need: 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter 1 1/2 cups sugar [...]
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you probably already know that the first thing we did after watching the documentary “Sick, Fat, and Nearly Dead” was run out and buy a juicer (we went for the Breville Juice Plus and used one of those handy 20% off Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupons). We’ve [...]

On the day we went, that was Watermelon Guac. Sounds a bit odd, but the sweet, salty, spicy combo [...]

This was one of my favorite meals my mom made us growing up but she never used a recipe so I finally got around to writing one up for it. It’s kind of like all the fixin’s for a burrito bowl underneath with a sweet cornbread topping. What You’ll Need: For the casserole 1 lb [...]

After college, I lived with one of my best friends and I can’t tell you how many nights we ate Casear Salad with cold pasta on top. After we both met and married Air Force men, we later ended up on separate ends of the country, but after several years, we’re back in the same [...]
