This recipe for Cast Iron Lemon Rosemary Chicken is one I’ve made time and time again—it’s an easy family favorite and company-worthy, too. Even though this dinner is relatively easy to throw together, we consider it a special treat around our house because every single person (even the tiny one) loves it. I’m a big fan… Read More
Pork. The “other” white meat. Somehow, I always have an abundance of pork chops in my freezer—it always seems to be the last thing we reach for mostly because my recipe binder has less variety for pork than other proteins. So, in attempt to cook up some of those thick-cut boneless pork chops hanging out in… Read More
I have a slight obsession with makeup. A slight obsession that has overtaken my bathroom to the point where I literally have no counterspace available. I hoard makeup and I love trying new things. I have shades of lipstick that I’ve probably only worn once, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t “have to have it!”… Read More
Forget the needle and thread—I’m sure I have one of those dollar-store sewing kits somewhere in my house, but I wouldn’t know the first place to look. I have absolutely no sewing skills, so my hot glue gun is my best friend. Since Molly was young, I’ve made all of her Halloween costumes myself, mostly because it… Read More

Over the past several years, I have had some major struggles with anxiety (more on that in a later post) and when I’m able, I try to submerge myself in postive, fear-fighting words that will stick with me as reminders when I have tough days. One of the books I’m reading (and really enjoying) is… Read More
Growing up, Beef Burgundy Stew was always a favorite meal of mine. Living in Northern California, my mom, dad and I used to take regular weekend drives up through the Sierra Nevada Mountains and one of our favorite lodges served the heartiest, most delicious bowl of Beef Burgundy Stew during the winter months. We got… Read More
When it comes to dessert, I’m a definite cookieaholic. Cookies are my usually my go-to when I’m craving something sweet because I almost always have enough ingredients on hand to make some sort of cookie variation and they usually last more than one day (nothing’s worse than slaving away on a handmade dessert and dirtying up… Read More
She’s full of energy, ridiculously hilarious and comes up with some off-the-wall things you’d never think could come from a person so small. She’s Molly, my 5 year old… and she’s way cooler and more popular than I am! I tend to post and share a lot of the silly things she does, so… Read More
I’ve been making this lentil salad for years and it’s perfect for when you need to clean up your diet a bit and want to eat a little lighter. This lentil salad can be made the night before (I like it best cold anyway) and is great for a sack lunch or picnic meal. The clean, crisp… Read More
