They say a smell can take you back to a time and a place instantly and it’s so true. When I was a kid, we would always go to Grandma’s for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, the whole family would gather and after enough “Maybe we should just wait until tomorrow” comments, we would finally start […]
Does this count as a recipe? I’m not sure. One ingredient. Press one button. Done. Yep, that’s a recipe. More importantly, it’s MY kind of recipe. You don’t even have to use “older” eggs and the best part is that peeling them takes seconds. What more could a girl want? It’s hard to say exactly

I love mayo! Especially Super Easy Mayo! One Christmas when we were first married, I gave my husband a wish list full of gift ideas for me. This was something my family ALWAYS did, so I made sure he had lots of options. I loaded it up with a bunch of kitchen items, such as

Maybe you’ve never even heard the term before. I’m not surprised. Truth be told, I made it up. But it’s a real thing and it’s very common and you know exactly what I’m talking about. “Monday Morning Mindset” is the deeply-held belief that new things deserve a grand starting time – a time that is

I have to admit…even though I follow a low carb, mostly Keto, mostly Paleo diet, there are foods that I just haven’t wanted to banish completely and permanently from my diet. Potatoes are one of those foods. Now, don’t get me wrong, I actually really LIKE a lot of the faux potato recipes and even
