We've all had those moments at the end of a long week when we look at the disaster area that doubles as our living space and think, "I don't even know where to start! I'll go to bed and take care of it later." This approach might satisfy you for a few hours, but eventually… Continue reading 10 Steps To A Tidy Home

Menu Monday + Hot Dog Summer {6.21.21}
In case you weren't aware, my husband's favorite food is hot dogs. He could literally eat them twice a day every day and be totally happy.

How To Create A Summer Routine
Over the years I've learned that I enjoy my life so much more when I have established routine and order in my daily schedule and in my surroundings. I thrive on routine!

Menu Monday {6.7.21}
One of the ways I find ideas for menu planning is by referencing my Main Dishes Pinterest board. I almost always do this based on what I brought home from the grocery store (also called reverse menu planning).

Menu Monday + The Pepperoni Surplus {5.24.21}
A couple weeks ago I ended up with a huge package of deli pepperoni in my online grocery order. Since I hadn't ordered it and wasn't expecting to have 16 ounces of pepperoni on hand, I quickly rearranged my menu to use it up in the "7 days after opening" window. I incorporated it into… Continue reading Menu Monday + The Pepperoni Surplus {5.24.21}

This week I have a menu full of both delicious new recipes and simple, tried and true favorites!

Those are marked with an asterisk… Continue reading Menu Monday {4.5.21}
