I’m not exactly sure where June and July went. School was letting out, we were enjoying the hot days of summer and now all of a sudden August is here. It’s still hot (thank goodness) but our focus has started to shift from summer fun to back to school planning and prepping. However, I’d like…
We are always on the lookout for super easy dinner recipes. Weeknights can be a bit crazy so we’re always on the lookout for quick and easy recipe ideas. We love the chicken lettuce wraps at P.F. Changs so thought we thought we would create a chicken lettuce wrap recipe at home. We love that…
I’ve been searching for more delicious yet easy meals to make. I decided to mix up a frittata recipe with arugula, portobello mushrooms, and feta cheese. I know feta isn’t everyone’s favorite cheese so it can be replaced with goat cheese or a mild cheddar or even cream cheese. As a rule, frittatas are often prepared…
We woke up to overcast skies and a coughing (due to asthmas/croup) 4-year-old so we knew we wouldn’t be making big plans for the day. A lazy morning is always good when you are on vacation and I took full advantage of it by enjoying my morning coffee and a short writing spree. Going out…
I was in New York City for the New York Times Travel Show and to explore literary New York City. Of course, a visit to the city means visiting Times Square and attending as many Broadway plays as I can squeeze in. Knowing what I want to do is one thing. Figuring out where to…
If your family Thanksgivings are anything like mine there will be plenty of Thanksgiving leftovers taking up room in the fridge. This leftover turkey casserole topped with sweet potatoes is a fun spin on a classic Shepherd’s Pie recipe. I share more Weight Watchers Turkey Recipes <<–be sure to bookmark or pin the post 😉 This…
Fall is my favorite time of year because the weather cooler and there is that special a crispiness in the air. It also means that it is time for Michigan apples and Apple Snickers Salad. I look forward to apple season every year as it is a great time to get out with friends to…
Visiting a new town is a chance to discover new sips and bites. Sometimes it’s a struggle to find something great to eat and sometimes you are blessed with so many choices you don’t know how you’ll ever get through all of them, but you give it your best try. That is exactly what happened…
There can only be one largest apple orchard in Georgia and the happens to be Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge, GA. It’s an orchard, bakery, restaurant, winery, cidery, store and a heck of a good time. A Georgia tradition since 1943, Mercier Orchards continues to be a family owned and operated orchard (love!). When the…
disclosure: this post brought to you by Acorn Influence and Enbrighten Cafe String Lights. #EnbrightenLife We’ve been in the process of converting our boring deck into something more useable for entertaining family and friends. It’s slowly coming together and will hopefully be done soon. Of course, lighting is important and I wanted something soft and…
Located just off of New Orleans’ famous Bourbon St you’ll find the French 75 Bar, adjacent to the distinguished Arnaud’s, a remarkable New Orleans restaurant. Settle in to a cozy table or find a seat at the bar and enjoy one of the most popular drinks in the city, the French 75 cocktail. As you…
My recent plans to visit Ireland (by myself) and Italy (with girlfriends) had my family in a bit of an uproar. They were fine with the Italy portion of the trip, but being in Ireland by myself had them slightly panicked. How would they get ahold of me? What if there was an emergency? WHAT…
