Holiday Gift Idea // DIY Herb Compound Butter
Still looking for a gift for idea for your babysitter, neighbor or foodie friend? I’ve got you covered. I whipped up a batch of DIY Herb Compound Butter and let me tell you—it is GOOD stuff.

I’ve included the recipes below. We actually made these at a MOPS meeting a while back, so I don’t have the original source of the Read More

Recipe // One Pot Red Beans and Rice
I’m always on the lookout for easy dishes that I can make for dinner that don’t take forever to make. This one is ready in 30 minutes, packs a ton of flavor and is a one pot dish. Anything that minimizes dishes is a win in my book. (Dishes are the worst part of cooking in my opinion, who’s with me?!) (I used Kielbasa sausage and just a little Cajun seasoning so it wasn’t be too spicy for Bryce or me, but if you love the heat, use Andouille sausage and add more Cajun seasoning to Read More
How I Get my Toddler to Eat Veggies
Bryce, like most toddlers, doesn't willingly reach for vegetables these days. So I have to get a little creative in how I serve them up.
