Hello friends, greetings from San Antonio! I had great intentions of using some of my vacation time to blog and cook in my parent’s great kitchen, but it didn’t happen! I’ve been much busier than I imagined so forgive me. Shopping, visiting friends and family and taking care of three kids has kind of taken…

Hope you all had a great weekend. I am a little over a week into my vacation visiting family in Texas. I meant to post this yesterday, but totally forgot as I ran off to Austin to catch up with friends. In addition to my sweet friends, I am loving all the restaurants and food…
Meal Planning
I am on vacation visiting my family in Texas and I’ve left my husband to fend for himself for over 2 weeks. Terrible, right? Just kidding, I couldn’t do that. I have to admit, when we got married almost 8 yeas ago I could not wait to cook for him and later our growing family….

Strawberry-Feta Salad & Meal Planning Monday
Well I happy to say that the party we threw last night for my husband’s work group was a big success. The brisket ended up being one of the best we’ve ever eaten. I am talking better than Rudy’s or any BBQ restaurant for that matter (for those of you Texans that know it). We…
Green Curry in a Hurry & Meal Planning Monday
My husband and I used to go to this amazing Thai restaurant in San Diego, Siamese Basil. Please go if you ever have the opportunity for you will be sure to get some of the best Thai food. Their green curry was unbeatable and that is when we really fell in love with the dish….
Carrot Spice Muffins
You know how I mentioned packing healthy homemade muffins in your kid’s lunches? I love this one and have been making it a lot lately: Carrot Spice Muffins. I had a hankering for warm, freshly baked muffins and I wanted to incorporate a veggie. I was deciding between zucchini and carrot and since I make…
Marinated Cucumbers & Meal Planning Monday
I am in love with having a garden. I mean, it’s nothing fancy and yes the strawberry plant was a bomb as were a few of the herbs, but the cucumbers, let me tell you about the cucumbers….we get a few large ones each week and it is SO fun to watch them grow. Cucumber…
