My mother-in-law made something like this awhile back, and I loved it. Ever since, I've been on a honey mustard kick! Travis and I started making this honey mustard chicken dish together, and we love it! Plus, it's really easy to make so that's always a pro. Here's what you'll need: Chicken breasts Dijon mustard Honey Lemon juice Mayo Soy sauce How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken We start by pounding out the chicken.

Quick Sugar Cookies
Travis' favorite kind of cookie is sugar cookies, and lately I've been on a any-kind-of-cookie kick. It seemed like the perfect time to make these quick sugar cookies. I got the recipe from my Aunt Traci, and they are seriously the best sugar cookies I've ever had. They really are easy to make, but best of all they are so soft. I love soft sugar cookies with not too much icing. Here's what you'll need: Flour Salt Baking soda Shortening Sugar Vanilla Eggs That's it. I imagine most of us have all of these things in our pantries already. That's one of the things that makes this Continue Reading
Pros & Cons of Blue Apron
Travis and I have been seeing all sorts of commercials and ads for food subscription services. We both thought it would be fun to try, so when a friend of mine offered us some free meals to try out Blue Apron, we jumped on it! Blue Apron is a subscription service where they send you recipes and ingredients for meals you choose. You follow the recipes to cook the meals and then bon appetite! This is not a sponsored post. I just want to make sure you know that my opinions are completely honest (as always whether a sponsored post or not!) Travis and I tried three meals a week for three weeks. Continue Reading
Salmon Patties
I was 21 when I finally tried salmon for the first time. Of course, Travis is the one who got me to try it. I didn't think I liked any seafood except shrimp at the time. Turns out, I love all sorts of seafood and salmon is my favorite fish of all time. You can ask my friends, I seriously order salmon at every restaurant that offers it! My sister-in-law made me salmon patties once, and I was in love. I used her recipe and a recipe I found online, mashed them together, and created my own delicious salmon patties. I love making them because 1) they are easy to make, 2) they are delicious, and Continue Reading
Fried Cinnamon Bananas
I love dessert. It's safe to say I'm obsessed and addicted to dessert. So when I can find a dessert that's actually pretty good for you, well, it's a winner! Bananas are full of potassium, and they also have calcium and Vitamin A. Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties, and it's said to reduce the risk of heart disease. Put the two together and you've got one healthy dessert, not to mention a great tasting one too! I made this recipe as a snack for Travis and I one Sunday, but we both agreed it would taste amazing on top of ice cream for a full on dessert. Continue Reading
Cajun Chicken & Veggies

I love how flavorful the dish is. It's a got a small kick to it too, but nothing you can't handle. My favorite part of this meal is how easy it is to make. I don't have to do any planning or a ton of prepping other than chopping a few veggies. It means its easy to make as a last minute meal when I suddenly realize it's suppertime and there's nothing in the crock pot! Try this Cajun Chicken Dish Here's what you'll Continue Reading

Sugar Cream Pie. I'd never had it before. In fact, I had never even heard of it! But it is one of my husband's favorite desserts. So of course I had to learn to make it!

Deviled Eggs with Bacon
This year for Easter, I brought my first dish to our family get-together. No one had signed up for deviled eggs, and you can't not have eggs for Easter. So I decided to try my hand at making deviled eggs for the first time! I knew I didn't want just any deviled eggs. You see, my sister-in-law made the best deviled eggs I'd ever had at Thanksgiving last year. And well, I just had to give my family a chance to try them too! Deviled Eggs with Bacon.

Chili Soup
I have shared a recipe for chili before, but it was more Chili Mac than Chili Soup. This recipe is more of a soup. It's the way I like chili best. It's my mom's recipe. You know how moms and grandmas often don't have recipes? Like they just know them by heart and throw things in without measuring and it turns out great every time? That's how my mom makes her delicious chili. So it took me several trial runs before I got this recipe right. Here's what you'll need: Tomato juice Diced tomatoes (chili ready with onions) Tomato paste Black beans Kidney beans Chili seasoning mix Garlic Continue Reading
French Toast Casserole
Some friends of ours are in the process of adopting five little people. All of the kids are moved in and the overwhelming transition period has begun. My friend went from being a married woman to a mother of five (six if you count her husband!) -- all in a matter of weeks. I know there are moments when she feels stressed from all the scheduling, overcome with tasks and tantrums, and down right exhausted from trying to handle it all with a smile. It's a huge change for her and her husband. But they long to give these five children, who they have fallen in love with, a place to call home and a Continue Reading
