Easter Menu 2021
Our plans for Easter weekend aren't quite finalized, so I'm not sure if we'll be eating lunch at home on Easter Sunday.

Christmas is so wonderful - but Easter is… Continue reading Easter Menu 2021

What’s For Lunch? | 3 On The Go Lunches
I work in an office, which means that four days a week I take my lunch to work. Going out for lunch doesn't seem like a good use of my time, energy or money.

In 2019 my family celebrated Thanksgiving a few weeks early so that my mom could help our Nana after a scheduled surgery the week of Thanksgiving.

We… Continue reading 5 Recipes You Should Make This Weekend
Menu Monday + Quick Sides from Aldi {2.1.21}
