Breaking away from the day to day
Salty potato chips are SOOO good! Now think about salty potato chips that are warm straight from the oil. HEAVENLY! Sometimes I like to dip my chips in something with a bit of a bite to it like spicy mustard. Being that these chips are homemade and will likely be warm when you eat them,…

Between constant trips between baseball practices and games to running errands and not to mention my kids’ expanding social life, I’m always on the run. All this running…
My kids are spoiled. If they are hungry, they usually call out for me to help them. That’s all going to change this summer. This is the summer of independence! When I was 10 years old, I knew how to make scrambled eggs. I’m selling myself short: I also knew how to make a bowl…
I feel so guilty eating out all the time. Jam packed schedules make it really hard to eat at home due to the time it takes to prepare meals. By the time we get home most days, it’s close to 8:30pm and if I start cooking then, we won’t eat until 9 or 9:30pm. I…
Disclaimer: Although my kids are truly fans of Farm Rich, I was compensated for this post. Keep in mind, all opinions are my own. My family’s schedule, like so many other families, is jam packed in the afternoons. We are constantly rushing around making sure that all homework is completed, reading is done, chores…
This summer I have let myself go. I haven’t worked out, I’ve eaten everything in sight, and I’ve laid around most of the time when I wasn’t working. This sloth-like quality has taken a toll on my “bottom line.” In plain English, my butt has gotten really big! The problem is….I LOVE FOOD! One of…
Growing up in Tennessee (have I ever told you that?), cobblers and crisps were staples at the end of meals. We had everything from fresh blackberries that we would pick from the bushes outside or with peaches that came fresh from Georgia. Ah…the sweet, sweet smell & taste of the fruity, sugary goodness of a…
Ok, so I’ve been working out. I’ve actually stuck to my resolution of getting in shape. I’ve been doing really well…5 times a week for an hour each time. I feel muscles in places that I have never felt muscles before. Thing is, it’s harder to see those muscles due to all my chubbiness… That’s…
I know I’m not the only one, but thinking of quick and easy meals before all of our extra curricular activities is a challenge. Unless I use my slow cooker, we do not get to eat a genuine home cooked meal on the days that we have to leave the house at 4pm for practice…
Valentine’s Day is coming up and it’s the perfect time to show the people that you love how much you care. Whether your Valentine is your baby or the “other” baby in your house (I’m talking about your husband), then Heart pancakes are the best Valentine’s breakfast to start the day! Ok, seriously, they are…
