Happy July! We’re officially halfway through 2019, and with our move and lots of changes last month, July and the second half of this year really feel like a turning point. Last month felt like both a whirlwind and a long ride. We experienced big changes and accomplished a lot, and I’m proud of both….
s’mores rice krispie treats
Happy July! There are three types of desserts that always remind me of summer and the 4th of July – pie; anything red, white, and blue; and s’mores. Since I don’t have access to my own fire pit, I try to fit the s’mores flavor into any dessert I can this time of year. This…
funfetti pan-banging cookies
Remember last week when I told you in the chocolate chip cookie competition that Sarah Kieffer’s pan-banging chocolate chip cookies were so addictive? They were so fun and delicious that I wanted to create another version of them outside of the chocolate chip cookie tournament. I started the brainstorming process around my birthday, when all…
inspiring interiors
I mentioned in my June Goals post that we moved to Nashville earlier this month! With all of the packing, unpacking, rearranging to make things fit, and settling in, I feel like it is a chance to start fresh. We brought our favorite furniture from North Carolina, but it all looks so different in a…
chocolate chip cookie tournament
Remember back in March when I planned on doing chocolate chip cookie March Madness? Well, it’s now June and I’m just getting around to posting it, so rather than March Madness it’s more of a chocolate chip cookie tournament. Whoops. Despite the wait, I’m happy to say that there were some great contenders, and between…
june goals
Whew, it’s been a while since I’ve really been in this space. Thanks for bearing with me as I was MIA throughout a crazy May. We still have a busy month ahead of us with a big move as the cornerstone. I’m going to try to commit to more posts here, even if they are…
may goals
Yes, we are very near the end of May and I’m just getting around to posting my May goals. I’m sure this is the latest I’ve ever posted goals. Part of that is because May has been hectic and wildy busy, and part of that is because I have been trying to create a goals…
60 before 30 update
Last week I celebrated my 27th birthday. It was a beautiful day and we took full advantage, walking up and down our small town streets, building and recounting memories from our years here. Since my 60 before 30 list ends on my birthday in a few years, I thought it would be fun to do…
cadbury mini egg brownies
And it’s another mashup! Decadent fudgy brownies plus cadbury mini eggs makes for an amazing Easter treat. Let’s be clear – the original milk chocolate mini eggs are the best variety. The candy company has expanded their product line in the past few years to include dark chocolate eggs with darker colors (not springy), and…
pimento cheese mac and cheese
Pimento cheese mac and cheese – two things I love smashed together. I’m not big on most casseroles, but mac and cheese has been and will forever be one of my favorite foods. Growing up, my mom would mix peas and pepperoni into her homemade mac and cheese to make it a one-dish dinner. My…
