This meal came from being inspired in the kitchen. Honestly, I don’t normally place food on top of each other, but I couldn’t help this one. Plating the food right next to each other wouldn’t have been as visually-appealing as placing it all on top of each other. So that’s what I did and I’m so […]
As much as I love cooking “tried and true” recipes, sometimes it’s fun to explore with new ideas in the kitchen. With a picky family, that task can be a little tricky though. How do you really explore with recipes that already work? One way is by changing one or two things in a recipe. […]
When I got married 11 1/2 years ago, I heard a lot of reminders and advice. No doubt you did too. No one ever said “make sure you make time for date night.” No one ever told me about this really fun way to stay connected with my spouse. The term “date night” seems to […]
There is no denying that I love to cook. Cooking is therapy for me, but only cooking food. Baking stresses me out! Often, I put food in the oven and just forget about it. Not good, I know. Want a seafood gumbo? I can cook it with my eyes closed. Want a cake, muffins, or […]
Today I’m sharing this really quick and easy pasta dish with you. I call it “Quick Cheesy Baked Pasta” and it’s super simple. #nationalpastaday Most weeknights leave little time to make big dinners.

There is no mistaking that I enjoy easy entertaining. Because I obsess about all the details, I’ve been working on keeping food light and “no-fuss”. When you focus on small bites, it’s also great for guests. It leaves more time to talk. After all, the real point of entertaining is to connect, inspire fun, and […]

Here is why you may want to rent a bike in Celebration Florida too. Celebration Bike Rental is located right behind Bohemian Hotel Celebration in Celebration, Florida.

The last week of September, Brandon was in Orlando Florida for a Microsoft conference, so we decided to squeeze in an “adults-only” weekend trip. We stayed at the Bohemian Hotel Celebration in Celebration Florida. Here is my review of the hotel and what I loved most about our stay. The very reason we decided to […]
PIN THIS FOR LATER!!! How often do you drink coffee? We drink coffee every single day! Whether “on the go” or at home, we drink coffee. This might sound bad but we cannot survive the morning without having at least 2 or 3 cups of coffee. I’d say we are addicted to coffee and I’m perfectly okay […]
