Happy Friday! Hope that you are all waking up to a wonderful morning. One of my favorite ways to play around in the kitchen is to create smoothie recipes based on my favorite desserts. Carrot cake is most definitely a fav! We always get Publix carrot cake for family birthday’s in Michael’s family and we LOVE it. Now, this smoothie...

This quarantine has been teaching me that I love simplicity. Simple meals done right. Also, I don’t like doing dishes. The grill has been one of my favorite ways to prepare and prep meals over this time at home. First, the weather here couldn’t be more perfect to grill. I look forward to going outside and cooking food for the...

We have just fallen head over heels for a new recipe! This cinnamon salted caramel smoothie was born out of running out of greens and craving a little salty/sweet combo. I love to use extracts and seasoning in my smoothie recipes to elevate their flavors. Also, when you are trying to limit the amount of sugar that can end up...

We are like so many others and ADORE a great guacamole. There is something about having a bowl of guac on the counter that just screams party!!! I learned how to make guacamole when I was in college and still use the exact recipe today. We prefer to use our guacamole as a condiment to our grilled meats and veggies....

Finding a recipe within a feed on Instagram is not always the easiest process, so in an effort to simplify, they are going to be finding their...

Living off the land. We have been method cooking lately. The method is using what we currently have in our home and only supplementing if absolutely necessary. Each year, around this time, our family goal is to use as much of the food in our house as we can. We donate any non-perishables that we won’t be using and start...

Good morning and happy Monday! I figured that there was no better way to start a Monday morning than by sharing a recipe that is currently making my coffee do a happy dance. We love nutella, do you? That hazelnut and chocolate spread is a family favorite. When I was thinking about what creamer to make this week for my...
