💯 truth. The first official day of fall was a week ago, but here in the PNW, we've had warm, sunny weather. Of course that is a matter of perspective. Sunny and 70s doesn't scream fall up here. It's been nice; no complaints, just not fall weather. Today, it's super windy and in the 60s, …

What’s your easy dinner??
We all have them. Those days that fly by and somehow it's dinner time. Maybe there was even a plan for what to make, but there's not enough time because the crazy little people (aka children) are storming the kitchen, pillaging the cupboards because they're STARVING. Anyone else's kids go straight to starving?? At this …
What I thought about my first Blue Apron 📦
Yesterday, FedEx delivered a big box holding everything I'd need to make two dinners. Recipes, ingredients, and giant ice packs to keep it cold on its way to my house. I have been wanting to try Blue Apron, but couldn't really justify the cost. And then there was a Memorial Day sale for 83% off. …

My family’s must have for camping
This post contains affiliate links.  Please read my Disclosure Statement for more info.

Dip you need to make

What’s for dinner??
The question that has to be answered every single day. Â And the best part are the responses to the answer. Â "Ew, I don't like that," is one of my faves to hear. Â But today's was, "yay, I love those!" We're having Sloppy Joe's tonight. This recipe is my favorite I've tried. I leave out the …

Who's having corned beef for dinner tonight???  And raise your hand if you're Irish!  I am Irish, but I don't know exactly what percentage.  I am seriously considering doing the ancestry heritage test, where you send them spit and they tell you your nationalities.  If …
Hello Fresh Verdict
To give a more informed review of Hello Fresh, we got another box. Or I forgot to de-activate the account before the next week was locked in place. Either way, I'm so glad we did because it was so good. Way better than the first week, and what's funny about that is I didn't pick …
Second Dinner from Hello Fresh
Our second meal from Hello Fresh was better than the first. Â The Parmesan Chicken Dippers were so good! Â Here's what our ingredients looked like. Â I was kinda crabby about having to cut the chicken breasts into tenders myself, but the breasts were nicely trimmed of fat, skin, and general icky parts. I really like the …
Violet’s Favorite Potatoes 🥔
Since I haven't shared a recipe in a while, and Violet was bragging up these potatoes this week, I thought I'd share this super easy side with you. No joke, when I picked Violet up from the nursery after bible study, the sweet volunteers asked me about the yummy dinner I made last night. I …
