Crock Pot BBQ Meatballs

When I perfected my homemade BBQ sauce recipe for these shrimp and grits, I couldn't stop talking about it. I kept telling Kevin how delicious it was, and how proud of it I was, so he naturally wanted a taste. Sadly I had already used all the BBQ sauce for the shrimp and grits, and he has a shellfish allergy. This BBQ sauce would be so good on anything! Grilled chicken, pulled pork sandwiches, and these crock pot BBQ meatballs. I'm just telling everyone right now that this is what I plan ... continue reading...

Cinnamon Date Breakfast Bars

Let's talk about breakfast. While I don't doubt it's the most important meal of the day, especially for those kiddos heading off to school, it's sometimes the most challenging to get together. Right now, our kids are too young for school and thankfully it's not too difficult to ensure the boys are starting the day with something healthy. As the years fly by though, I'll be looking at busy mornings before school before I know it. Right now, I typically start the day with a smoothie. Kevin ... continue reading...

Blood Orange Ricotta Mini Loaves

Miniature food is just cuter, it's a fact. Top some these adorable little mini blood orange ricotta loaves with a bright pink icing? I'm sold! I absolutely love my mini loaf pan for breads like this. I picked it up at Home Goods a few years ago and it's definitely been used frequently. If you don't have one of these pans, I highly recommend adding one to your cabinets. But even if you don't have one and aren't constantly looking for the next thing to add to your kitchen (like me), you can ... continue reading...

Buffalo Delicata Squash

I like to call this recipe "Operation: See if Kevin Will Eat Squash." When we first started dating, I quickly learned that there were a few vegetables that Kevin didn't care for. Included in that group were Brussels sprouts, asparagus, sweet potatoes, and squash. Now one of his favorite side dishes are these Brussels sprouts, and I prepare asparagus in a similar way that he likes. Squash has always been a bit of an enigma, but if there's one thing I know that Kevin likes, it's buffalo ... continue reading...

Butternut Squash Risotto

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have something fun planned. Our tradition is to get take-out sushi and enjoy it on the couch, a tradition we started when Lleyton was just 5 weeks old his first Valentine's Day. Before having kids, Kevin and I only had one Valentine's Day together since we started dating. Either he was deployed, or I was deployed. We did enjoy one Valentine's Day together before Lleyton was born; it involved a failed trip to Bend, Oregon due to snow and an impromptu night spent ... continue reading...

“Are you hungry? Are you tired? Do you need a jack “Are you hungry? Are you tired? Do you need a jacket, some water?
Of course, I’ll carry everything you’ve collected.

I’ll expand if you need me to. I’ll give if it helps you.
I’ll cross every river and face every storm.

This life flicks by faster and faster. One day I’ll leave you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Being a mom is the longest, shortest, hardest, holiest work we will ever do. Grateful today and every day for the five people who call me “mom.” 🩷

It’s important to my husband and I to have an active family that enjoys the outdoors, and as a bonus, hiking is a great way for me to stay strong for the mountain climbs I endure in races. And when we hike, we are always fueled with beef jerky, beef sticks, or this beef jerky trail mix!

⛰️Squak Mountain 50k ⛰️ Gosh what a DAY! I committ ⛰️Squak Mountain 50k ⛰️ Gosh what a DAY! I committed to pushing myself to the end of my rope and I absolutely did. I made a lofty goal time of 6:40 and finished in 6:33 after going out way too fast the first loop 😂, but what are races for if not to push past the limit? By the last 8 miles I had nothing left in the tank and found a way to dig deep and finish with two of my fastest miles all day. All in all, an effort I’m super proud of and I couldn’t have worked any harder than I did. It was a “full send” kind of day and I am so happy (and totally exhausted).

Thank you for friends who cheered me on near and far, watched kids during some training runs, and of course @kevin_dieterich for your endless support and making sure the whole family was at the finish line. None of this happens without you. 💛

Happy third birthday to our sweet Killian Michael! Happy third birthday to our sweet Killian Michael! For over a month he’s been asking me daily “mommy, when is my birthday?” And today is the day! Killian is a bundle of love with so much personality. Every morning when he wakes up he announces to the family as he comes downstairs “look who’s coming down!” And insists on big hugs from all his siblings before bed. Everyone is as obsessed with him as the day he was born. Killian loves all forms of transportation but his favorites are fire trucks, trains, and garbage trucks. We build train tracks for hours when his siblings are in school! He doesn’t like carbonated beverages because they are “too spicy.” Killian you are sweet and kind and inquisitive and have so much to say which is both hilarious and adorable. Killian, you are such a joy and this whole family loves you to pieces. We can’t wait to celebrate you all day!! Happy birthday boo bear 💙
