My daughter (who used to be the pickiest eater of all times) has discovered the beauty of Chipotle. Which means we often make and eat burrito bowls, as they are so, so easy to make at home. Especially if you have the “right” rice-like this Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice. Quick, easy, and hands off, perfect for any weeknight. Try it yourself!
This post is actually going to be a combination of what I’ve learned but even more than that I’m asking for your suggestions! As many of you know, I used to be a Diet Coke addict (drinking up to 12 cans per day). When I quit almost 2 years ago (cold turkey-yay!) I needed to switch up my drink game because although I’m growing to love water, it’s not always enough. Shortly after leaving the Diet Coke behind, I did what I probably should have done when knee deep in residency all those years ago- I took up coffee! Join us for this Friday Five’s Coffee Talk-all about cold brew coffee.
This Salmon Breakfast Scramble is in honor of one of my very favorite breakfast dishes that I used to get at a local restaurant. I knew that it couldn’t be very hard to make and I wasn’t wrong. Easy enough for a home cook, full of protein and flavor, this one will soon be one of your favorites!
Thanksgiving is upon us and I have to admit, this is my absolutely FAVORITE holiday! A full day committed to giving thanks, good food, and family gets my vote any day of the week. The entire month of November always makes me stop and think about all of those things in my life that I have to be grateful for. So here are my thoughts on gratitude this year and all of the things that I will give thanks for!
It took me a long time to discover the amazingness of Brussels Sprouts. I wasn’t really introduced to them until I was a young adult and then I wasn’t really sure what all of the fuss was about. Seemed like just small cabbages to me and I’ve never really loved cooked cabbage! But then I discovered ROASTED brussels sprouts. And better yet, these Citrus Kissed Roasted Brussels Sprouts… which are a little sweet, a little savory, a little citrus-y, and ALL delicious! Now I’m #teambrussels all the way.
I’ve been doing a lot of waxing poetic recently. Maybe it’s the recent college visits for my daughter, maybe it’s being in my mid forties, maybe it’s the impending winter (sigh.). Maybe it’s that since Daylight Savings Time last weekend, it gets dark by 5pm (ugh!). Whatever it is, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about what brings me comfort and how to find it. So let’s talk about finding comfort. Maybe these can help you too!
There is nothing like a homemade cinnamon roll. This is what I USED to believe. Until I started making these homemade Apple Cinnamon Rolls. Then I realized what true love was…
Nothing will make you feel older than when you realize it is time to start college visits for your kiddo. Is it really this time already? I pretty sure it was just yesterday I was teary over the first day of kindergarten! For better or worse, the answer is YES. As my oldest wants a school in or very near to a big city, we decided to take a quick trip to the Windy City, Chicago, to check it out!
