Cranberry Pecan Muffins
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…

Happy Monday! It’s a happy Monday indeed because today the movers come, our new couch gets delivered, AND the internet will finally be installed.

Maple Pecan Salmon
Today is day 4 of Spring Break and I have slept past 7 am exactly zero days. What is wrong with me?! I did take 2 naps yesterday, though, which was pretty awesome. Also, it snowed yesterday and that is SO not okay. Anyway, we’re continuing to clean out the freezer and things are getting…
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Can we talk about how nice it is to have the kids back in school after Christmas break? And can I also mention how nice it is that my husband’s still on leave so yesterday, when it was 10 degrees and snowing, I didn’t have to leave the house to take anyone to school? I’m…

Microwave S’more Turtles
Want the truth? Deployment isn’t that bad. I know I talk like it’s the worst thing ever but really, I’m okay for the 23 hours a day that I’m not whining on my blog. Sure, I have my bad days (like last week when my husband was all “Remember how I said I was coming…
Chocolate-Oatmeal-Pecan Cookies
Happy Friday! I made cookies! Most of the time when I decide to bake something, it’s because I’ve stumbled upon a recipe that I want to try right then or I’m hit with a sudden craving for whatever it is but the other day I was in a mood to bake and for the life of…
