It's almost the 4th of July! Which means red, white, and blue clothes, fireworks, hotdogs, hamburgers, and cold beer. Especially fireworks. I'm a big fan. But who isn't? There is this place near Fort Riley that apparently has AMAZING 4th of July fireworks. Like...unreal amazing. Several of Seth's coworkers said that they've lived in a lot of different places and seen a lot of different firework ...

One Year Wedding Anniversary!
Today is Seth and I's one year wedding anniversary! And let me just tell you how fast this year has gone by. I feel like it was a month or two ago that I was walking down the aisle, but then again when I look back on everything that has happened this year it feels like we have been married forever. I usually don't write posts like this (non food/DIY related), but I wanted to do it for Seth and ...
Grilled Romaine Salad with Bacon and Blue Cheese
IF YOU ARE A BLUE CHEESE HATER JUST WAIT! Wait ooone second. Because Seth and I hate blue cheese. Really, really hate it. To the point where if I forget to ask the servers to leave it off my salad at a restaurant it ruins the whole thing for me. But we are obsessed with this salad. Oooooobsessed. So it started with an experiment. There is this burger at a sports bar back in our college town ...
2 Ingredient, 5 Minute Strawberry Frozen “Yogurt”
Right now my weather app says it is 96 degrees outside but feels like 106. My first question is, how can they measure how hot it "feels?" Seriously. How? I guess I don't have a second question. The point is...it's hot. Which is why this cold, fresh, healthy frozen yogurt is so perfect right now! This recipe today was originally supposed to be chocolate cashew butter. Why did I not post ...
Cold Soba Noodle Salad
Can we just talk about Soba noodles for a second?? I had actually never tried them before making this recipe. I see them all over the place, though. I guess I'm jumping on the bandwagon a little late... But they are so dang good! I was definitely expecting them to taste more...healthy...than they taste. But I actually liked these Soba noodles just as much as regular pasta. Except these are way ...
Free Printable Father’s Day Cards
Happy (almost) Father's Day to any awesome dads out there! When we were kids, I feel like we always did the same thing for my dad every year - bought him ties and made him a chocolate cake with a tie frosted on top. My mom would bake the cake and frost the outline of the tie and then my brothers and I would..."decorate" (aka cover the top of the cake in as much colored frosting as possible)...the ...
Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
OH my goodness. It has been....SO LONG...since I've been able to post. Can I just tell you about my life right now? We left Georgia on June 9th and drove about 12 hours, woke up early the next morning and drove the last 4 to Kansas. The drive actually wasn't bad at all - I was dreading it but it went by pretty quick! So then we got here on Wednesday, unpacked that day and all day Thursday, ...
Mustard Chive Potato Salad
Happy Saturday! It's not a super happy Saturday for us because we are packing and cleaning ALL day...ugh. I really very strongly dislike packing. It's not so bad at first when there are some big easy things to pack, like a bookshelf or a TV stand. But then you look around and see a million little random things and it looks like you have made no progress. Seth's parents are coming in today to ...
Slow Braised Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Garlic Aioli
Remember a few weeks ago when I posted this recipe and rambled on and on about how amazing the slow roasted pork was? Then I mentioned how I was going on a mission to slow roast a million different types of meat and see what happens. So that brought me to this delicious slow braised pork! I know pork tenderloin is much leaner than the pork shoulder I used in the other recipe, so I decided ...
Homemade Whipped Eucalyptus Shaving Cream
When we were in New Mexico for Christmas this past year, my brother gave Seth this super fancy shmancy shaving cream from Bath and Body Works. It smelled like Eucalyptus and basically felt like a full out spa treatment for your face. He really enjoyed using it but recently ran out. And by ran out I mean legit ran out...that dude did everything short of using a high powered vacuum to get every ...
