In our very humble vegetable garden, the only thing thriving is our jalapeno pepper plant. I don’t even like things that are spicy…so OF COURSE this is the only plant producing in this Louisiana summer heat! A couple Saturdays ago, I woke up READY to do something and after walking around outside I noticed there…

We love all things pasta over here and this was a new and fun way to serve a family favorite! The original recipe is from Tastes Better from Scratch and I really only tweaked it a bit! This was great for a weeknight when you don’t have a ton of time or you could prep…

One of the things about slowly introducing meat back into your diet is that you start craving meals that you haven’t craved in YEARS. For me, one of those meals that I haven’t thought about until recently was Hamburger Steak. The original recipe is from Little Sunny Kitchen and while it wasn’t difficult at all,…

If you have been around for a while, this post is likely SHOCKING. For the past 12-13 years, we have been the coolest of cool vegetarians. However, in the Fall, a variety of things were pointing to our journey ending. I had some weird gut health things and then my husband got the news that…

We have been vegetarian for roughly 13 years. However, there are a few things I can still taste when I think about them. And one of those is a Taco Bell Mexican Pizza.

So, I tried it out and I was WRONG…they are absolutely delicious! We all ate them up! These scream “Thanksgiving Breakfast”…

My kids scored this Halloween…I’m talking candy on top of candy on top of candy. They were jazzed. But me? I was not jazzed because I now work from home without any accountability partnered with no self-discipline. I knew I would sit home all day grazing on their candy if I didn’t find a better…

I recently made this recipe from Eat Something Vegan…and y’all it’s delicious so I had to share! It was super easy to make and only took around 30 minutes, which is great for a week night dish. Because I’m a rule follower, I didn’t tweak the recipe when I made it but I’ve added a…

So, I love my children. I feel like that should be stated before I go into the next sentence. Because when dinner time hits, they are the absolute worst. They will eat NOTHING and its become a real problem. I find myself really dreading 6pm because a family fight is inevitable. I keep thinking…oh, it’s…
