Hi friends, Just popping my head in quickly to share our Easter plans with you in case you are in need of some inspiration. This year we are spending Easter with friends and decided on doing a brunch instead of a big dinner. Thankfully we have good friends that fill in for family when we…
Ham and Veggie Crustless Quiche
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Daisy Cottage Cheese. I remember the first time I made this crustless quiche, it was dinnertime and we lived in Austin.

Cooking With Kids & Resurrection Cookies
The kitchen has always been the center of our home. My parent’s kitchen has always been THE place to congregate- there is a huge island and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to their backyard. Whenever I go home, cooking dinner with extending family is what we do. The wine is poured, the appetizers are out…

Easter Recap- A Perfect Brunch
Is it too late for an Easter Recap? Oh well sorry, I am telling you about it anyway! We had a great Easter. I was a little worried that we’d be stressed and exhausted since we were in the middle of unpacking, but we just decided to take a break and enjoy the special day….
An Easter Treat: Chocolate Birds’ Nest
An easy Easter treat that you can easily make gluten free- it doubles as dessert and table decorations! We are having a simple Easter celebration over here, since we still have unpacking to do. We know where the church is, so my main concern was what to cook that wouldn’t take a lot of my…
