Over Labor Day weekend we took our first vacation as a family of four to Bend, Oregon! Kevin and I first wanted to go to Bend a few years ago for Valentine's Day but were turned around due to snow. We were so happy to make this trip with our boys because it is such a fun town with a lot of family-friendly activities. As much fun as we had, this trip almost didn't happen. The kids had a stomach virus the week before the trip, which conveniently they gave to me the day before we left. ... continue reading...
Chai Cinnamon Roll Bread
Hello to the perfect breakfast bread. I'm trying not to exaggerate, but it really is that good! I'm a huge fan of chai tea and chai tea lattes, but I haven't had caffeine since I was pregnant with our first child (with the exception of when I run ultramarathons) and it's hard to find a place that makes a decaf chai tea latte! I keep decaf chai tea in our pantry, but chai flavor is one of the things I crave when the weather cools down. It's right up there with my love of pumpkin in the fall and ... continue reading...
Jalapeno Artichoke Parmesan Dip
Football season is upon us, which means game day snacks are upon us. I'm not a big fan of watching sports on TV, but I am a big fan of entertaining and putting out a spread of food.

Jalapeno artichoke parmesan dip is an appetizer that will not last long! This dip is inspired by one that you can buy at Costco. I am a huge fan of Costco and ... continue reading...
Fried Green Tomato Po’ Boys with Old Bay Aioli
Let's talk about po' boys. First off, they are delicious! A giant bun stuffed with some type of meat, usually fried, along with some lettuce and tomato and drizzled with a delicious sauce. Who can resist that? They hail from Louisiana and are traditionally made with shrimp. But Kevin is allergic to shellfish, and I decided to give another southern twist to an already southern dish: fried green tomatoes. I don't know who had the idea at first to fry green tomatoes. Maybe they thought that ... continue reading...
Corn and Tomato Salad with Chimichurri
Sometimes the best dishes are the most simple, especially in the summer when you can get the absolute best, juiciest tomatoes and sweetest corn. I shop at a local farmstand once a week, and every time I go I scoop up tomatoes and corn in addition to lots of other fresh produce. I can't turn down a juicy summer tomato! Put in salads, sliced on top of avocado toast, or as the topping of a burger off the grill, I always find a way to use up tomatoes, no matter how many I buy. And since I go ... continue reading...
