Pumpkin Cream Cheese (with non-dairy option!)

Sep 14, 2017

Homemade Pumpkin Cream Cheese – made with only 5 ingredients and with a non-dairy option! This recipe is so simple and is perfect on a toasted bagel!

Heeeey guys!

I’m breaking all my rules and posting a pumpkin recipe in September.

I know, the worst.

But here’s the thing.

I have been waiting for pumpkin cream cheese for weeks. I don’t know why. Y’all know I don’t really care about pumpkin until the weather starts to change a little but maaaaaan, I have been dreaming about a bagel with pumpkin cream cheese.

That’s a lie. I dream about pad thai every single night of my life but I have been thinking about pumpkin cream cheese more than is probably normal.

Here are the issues with that:

First: no one around here has pumpkin cream cheese yet. Have I checked every store in the area?

Yes.

Twice.

The other thing is that I don’t even eat cream cheese made with dairy. So I would literally buy it, take a bite, and then feed the rest to my kids.

Kielbasa and Potato Breakfast Burritos

Sep 05, 2017

Kielbasa and Potato Breakfast Burritos – easy make ahead breakfast idea! Kielbasa, potatoes, and peppers rolled into tortillas with cheese and eggs.

Heeeey guys, happy short week! Who’s excited?!

You know what I’m excited about right now? We’ve got a high of 80-something most days this week which means I can finally get back to hiking.

I haven’t gone for a hike since May. That’s a long time for me to stay out of the woods. It’s just been so hot even if I get up super early. The one time I tried to take the boys for a hike this summer, we ended up just sitting in a creek.

Like, actually sitting in it. Fully clothed.

ANYWAY.

The second week of school officially starts today for us. So let’s talk easy breakfast ideas.

Cheesy Bacon Scones

Aug 13, 2017

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Riondo Prosecco for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Are you a sweet or savory brunch person? I’m savory all the way. I can’t do sweet in the morning. Unless we’re talking about doughnuts but doughnuts are a totally different thing. I can skip the pancakes and the crepes and the muffins – I just want bacon and cheese and potatoes and biscuits. Or something like these Cheesy Bacon Scones. …

Strawberry Coconut Granola

Jul 17, 2017

Strawberry Coconut Granola – easy homemade granola recipe! Oats, coconut, sliced almonds, and strawberries!

Heeeey guys!

Are you watching Big Brother?

I am buuuuut I’m just not into it like I normally am.

I mean, does the boyfriend come home after work and find me watching the live feeds at 1 am?

Of course he does.

But I’m just not invested in anyone yet. And it’s so disappointing because I look forward to it all year. Ugh, hopefully it will get better.

Waffles with Sausage and Maple Pepper Gravy – a twist on the classic! The creamy sweet and peppery gravy is perfect for waffles, biscuits, and so much more!

If you know me at all, you know I love a food truck. So that’s why I’m super excited about the Eggo Waffle Truck that is traveling around the country this summer. It started in April and will go through September, stopping a total of 200 times in 100 days.

The Eggo Waffle Truck will be in my area next week and, of course, I’ll be headed down there. If you want to see when the Eggo Waffle Truck will be in your area, click here:

Lemon Poppy Seed Scones

Apr 19, 2017

Delicious Lemon Poppy Seed Scones with a lemon glaze. These are the perfect spring breakfast!

Guys.

Guuuuuuuys.

My kid has pinkeye.

And, like, I knew it was coming when he came home from school on Monday and said, “So-and-so has a pink eye!” Because once one 5 year old has pinkeye, all the 5 year olds are going to have pinkeye.

BUT STILL. Pinkeye is the worst.

And, of course, as soon as I realized he had it, my eye started itching and then I sneezed and realized that it’s just because I had all the windows open and am allergic to everything outside. #blessed

So, yeah, I’ve banned him from going anywhere near his brothers so that maybe we can avoid spreading it to everyone.

Also? Nothing is more frustrating than trying to put drops in a 5 year old’s eyes.

Y’all. Just don’t send your kids to school when they have pinkeye.

Spaghetti Squash Breakfast Bake

This post sponsored by Jennie-O. All opinions are my own.

Spaghetti Squash Breakfast Bake – low carb breakfast idea! Spaghetti squash, sausage, eggs, and cheese baked together for the perfect healthy meal prep breakfast!

Heeeey guys, happy Friday!

I feel like I haven’t done a real post in forever.

What’s been doing on? Weekend plans?

I plan on taking the top off the Jeep and taking the husky for a long hike.

Speaking of, the husky doesn’t know how to ride in the Jeep when I have the top off. I’m forever amazed by dogs in the backs of pickup trucks because she would literally go flying out of the Jeep if I didn’t strap her in.

Husky people, is this normal? Is mine defective?

Maple Bacon Monkey Bread

Feb 21, 2017

Hey ya’ll! How was the long weekend?

My kids were with their dad so I had 3 glorious days of doing whatever I wanted. But still, I was pretty excited to get them back last night. I ran to Target yesterday morning for some recipe supplies and found myself buying them all new shoes and it turns out I kinda miss them by day 3.

Chocolate Chip Croissant Bread Pudding

Feb 16, 2017

Chocolate Chip Croissant Bread Pudding – the most decadent breakfast (or dessert)! Sliced croissants in sweet custard with chocolate chips sprinkled in!

Happy almost Friday!

How’s your week been? I feel like I needed to tell you guys about something that happened earlier in the week buuuuuut I can’t remember what it was. I guess it wasn’t super important.

Anyway.

It’s been gross and rainy here in Texas and I’m so over it. I had fully switched over to my spring wardrobe and now I’m back in jackets. Not okay.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Jan 04, 2017

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins – moist and delicious banana muffins with chocolate chips! Perfect for a quick breakfast and kids love them!

Okay guys, it’s the first day back in real life for us. The kids have to go to school. I have to pretend like I’m cleaning the house all day and not watching CNN while I lay in bed. The usual.

My kids actually just got back from their dad’s house on Sunday night – they were gone for, like, 10 or 11 days. I didn’t go to the grocery store a single time they were gone. Our fridge is bare. Like, totally bare.

There’s literally just leftover pho, half a carton of cashew milk, and 2 limes.

And if you know me at all you know there’s not a chance in heck that I’m going to the grocery store with all 3 boys.

No.

Nope.

Not happening ever.

So I made a loaf of bread for sandwiches, cookies for lunchboxes, and these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins for breakfast.

Cranberry Pecan Muffins

Dec 12, 2016

Heeeey guys! I made us muffins for breakfast!

Are you a cranberry person? I feel like I became a cranberry person this year. Almost every post I’ve put up in the last month has had cranberries in it. And I’ve never cared about cranberries before. I still have a few bags in the freezer though so expect a couple more posts.

And then when I run out of those, we’ll move onto dried cranberries and cranberry juice!

No?

Maple Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Oct 19, 2016

Two pumpkin recipes this week!

Is it too much pumpkin?

I still have many cans of pumpkin in my pantry so. Prepare yourselves.

Anyway, let’s talk about making mornings easier today.

Because I get my kids out of bed at 6:15 and we’re (trying very hard to be) out the door at 6:55.

Three kids.

That’s 6 shoes that inexplicitly go missing in the middle of the night. Every single night. How does this happen? Why is one shoe outside if the other is under the bed?

I. Don’t. Understand. It.

Tell me I’m not alone. Tell me you have also found yourself sneaking into the neighbor’s garage at 7 am because your kid swears he left his shoes there.

English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas

Sep 15, 2016

This post written in partnership with Smithfield.

Okay.

Let’s talk breakfast.

You know I do this every September.

I’m over cereal. I have 3 boys – do you know how much cereal we go through? And it’s kind of expensive.

So I am officially on the hunt for easy, quick breakfast. Did I mention they need to be easy? And quick?

Yeah, easy and quick.

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls

Sep 08, 2016

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls – my favorite breakfast! Cinnamon rolls filled with caramelized apples and topped with a caramel cheese cheese icing!

Hey guys! Happy almost Friday!

This is a recipe that I originally posted in, like, 2011 or some ridiculous long time ago but I reshot it a couple weeks ago mostly so that I had an excuse to eat them again. So if it sounds familiar, that’s why.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you about a fun Char-Broil event I attended down in Austin last week. I very rarely get to attend events like this so I was pretty excited when it worked out and I got to sneak out of the house for a few hours to hang out with friends and eat lots of food.
