Chicken pot pie is one of those meals that I forget to make. I love it, but I forget about it. The other day, when Torin was napping I started doing some cleaning and reorganizing of the scary spaces in my kitchen, and found an old cookbook I had, that’s simply called “Casseroles” (winning title-… Continue reading Freezer-Friendly Chicken Pie
I love hashbrown casserole, in all variations. That cheesy, salty, oniony goodness is something I can eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I don’t think I’ve ever gone to the Cracker Barrel and not gotten hashbrown casserole as a side. The Ham and Hashbrown Casserole recipe I’m going to share with y’all today, is just… Continue reading Ham and Hashbrown Casserole
Over the past few weeks I’ve done so much to get ready for the arrival of our sweet baby. Nursery is done, hospital bags are packed, house is moderately clean, and freezer meals are in the works. We’ve only got a few days left (hopefully) before he is going to make his grand entrance, and… Continue reading Greek Turkey Burgers

Everyone asked… Continue reading The Best Spinach Artichoke Dip

So about a year ago, I had a grand idea to repaint my dining room set- chairs, table and china cabinet. And… I’m just now finishing. Sometimes my projects take me a while. Don’t judge. 😉 My dining room set is a nice hand me down from my mom, that she gave to us when… Continue reading China Cabinet Makeover
Recently, I’ve started trying to get better about packing my lunch and snacks since I get hungry a lot more often now… and when I want to eat, I definitely don’t want to wait. 😊 I try to mix up what I take so I don’t get bored, but I always make sure there’s a… Continue reading Orange Chicken Meal Prep
