We've working through selling our first home and buying our next house. Things are moving along and we'll be packing up our house over the next… Continue reading Cookie Batter Granola
Taco Chicken Pockets
These little pockets of chicken in a spicy taco sauce are delicious. The biscuit makes a great way to hold the chicken in place and these would be great to take for lunch and replace frozen handheld sandwiches. They were a little spicy for Madeline due to the Sriracha, but I think you could always… Continue reading Taco Chicken Pockets

I'm on the search for lunch ideas that Madeline will be able to take for lunch this school year.

Next year, she'll be eating lunch at school and she's not a huge fan… Continue reading Quinoa Pizza Bites
Strawberries and Cream Pie

We loved the graham cracker crust and after dinner there was only one piece left! I'd say that's a success!12 full graham crackers, crushed1 stick of unsalted… Continue reading Strawberries and Cream Pie

Chocolate Banana Overnight Oats
This is another variety of overnight oats that I make. It's rich and so delicious. It's also more filling than the blueberry vanilla one and keeps me full all morning. If you haven't tried overnight oats yet, you're missing out! 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk1/4 cup vanilla greek yogurt1 1/2 tsp… Continue reading Chocolate Banana Overnight Oats
Strawberry Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
I'm so excited to make ice cream again! I don't know why but I only seem to make it in the summertime. I need to do it more often since it's so much better than store bought ice cream. I bought ice cream containers from Sweet Bliss Containers and I have to say I will… Continue reading Strawberry Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
