{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner December 31-January 6

I have to say, this winter break has been wonderful. My husband has been home the past week and a half, I've been catching up on much needed sleep, and I've been enjoying not having to venture out in the freezing cold to take my kids to school. We've been cuddling up inside, with hot chocolate and lots of baked goods — our life really resembles some type of fairy tale life, that I wish we could … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner December 24-December 30

Christmas is finally here! I feel like this is my favorite time of the year and the joy continues all the way until January 2. And after that? The joy fades a bit and life goes on until the next holiday. But for now, I'm enjoying baking cookies with my kids every other day and hibernating under the covers like a bear every chance I get. Here's what we're eating this week  - please share your menu … [Continue reading...]

My Christmas Menu (Including Honeybaked Ham Copycat Recipe)

My Thanksgiving menu was pretty successful but I think, just maybe, I'm done making a large turkey for the holidays. I'm tired of how much it costs, how much I end up wasting and how long it takes to cook. Just done fussing over it. So while in years past, my Thanksgiving and Christmas menus were generally identical, this year I'm going to do it a bit differently. It is definitely scaled back … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What We’re Eating: December 17-23

Twas the week before Christmas and not a single present was purchased. Oops. Seeing as how I just turned in my final exam and the revisions on my thesis (which probably needs at least one more round of edits, ugh), Christmas has been the furthest thing from my mind. But since Christmas is literally just around the corner, I probably need to get on the ball with this, huh? To help me out, … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner: December 11-December 16

So this week's menu plan is late. Again. I swear I need 2013 to hurry up and get here because in 2012? My energy is SHOT. I need that "new year, new you" spirit to come over me right about now and get me excited about all this stuff I still have to do. Jesus be some enthusiasm!! So without further ado, here is my menu plan for the week. Feel free to steal some ideas or add your own in the … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} Two-Ingredient Breakfast Pumpkin Muffins

I've been eating these at least a few times a week for the past two months and I haven't gained weight so I'm going to tell you about them. These are my pumpkin muffins. I love them because they are two ingredients: Cake mix + pumpkin puree = Delicious muffins you can stuff in your face just 20 minutes later You dump the two ingredients in a bowl and then mix it for a couple minutes. You can … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What We’re Eating November 26 to December 2

Thanksgiving took a lot out of me. LOL. I cooked for two days straight in preparation and I'm still (three days out) kind of at the point where I don't want to look at another pot or pan for at least another week. But these people in my house, they get hungry, you see. So cook I must. Ugh. Here is this week's meal plan. I'm trying to get away from "Thanksgiving-y" types of food because I've … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} Spicy Pesto Shrimp Pasta

Okay. So I'm late to the "pesto" party. Why didn't someone tell me how delicious it is?? I've been avoiding it for years because I'm allergic to pine nuts. (Pesto is basically just basil, cheese, olive oil and other deliciousness mixed up into a paste-like consistency.) But then I came across this: NO PINE NUTS! *backflips* Since my discovery, I've been using this on everything! Potatoes, … [Continue reading...]
