Summer cocktail = let’s talk about this grown-up take on an ice cold slushie. I crafted this little concoction the other night for the hubs and I and it was absolutely DELISH. Refreshing, not too sweet and a lower calorie option as I incorporated the Bai Bubbles in Grapefruit instead of the traditional grapefruit juice. […]

With warmer weather here to stay, sometimes I like to keep things on the lighter side when it comes to dinner prep. I first made this apple, arugula, candid pecan, and goat cheese salad a few weeks ago as a side dish. But I think it would be super tasty if you add some grilled […]

As I sit here and look at the calendar, I can’t help but reminisce that last year on this very date Jeff and I were frolicking through the streets of Italy living our best life. Oh goodness how much can change in a year, right??? To take a stroll back through memory lane and look […]

I first made these frozen s’mores cups YEARS ago and loved them.

Super simple to […]

As a mom, I feel like I can truly do more for my family when I remember to take care of MYSELF as well. With two little […]

If you’re like me, you LOVE everything about shrimp and grits with bacon. If we’re at a restaurant and it’s on the menu, it’s most likely getting delivered to our table = that’s how predictable I am. However, a few years ago I stumbled across this easy peasy way to execute one of my most […]

Side dishes and salads… usually my go-to dish to bring to a friends’ house for a potluck + get together as I know most people are going to sign up for apps or desserts. Let’s be honest, if I’m in a pinch it’s easy to grab one of the salad kits and call it complete, […]
