Ima have to make this one short today, friends. Today has been busy and crazy, and little Mr. Ford has been a high maintenance little nugget. Fussy, fussy, fussy any time I try and rock him to sleep. After asking a bunch of people for advice, it turns out that the magic trick is to just stand up, walk him around, and sway/bounce him. Apparently he just hates sitting and being rocked to sleep with ...
Dilled Cream Cheese and Cucumber Bagels
Have you guys ever tried the combo of dill, cream cheese, and cucumber together? Oh my goodness - it is flavor heaven. I'm going through a dill phase right now. I want dill in everything that I eat...everything. It is just so yummy and SO summery! I haven't ever gotten into using dill in the past, but suddenly I'm all bout that life, yo. I bought a spiralizer from Amazon recently. Well, ...
Cinnamon Cheesecake Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Ah, crescent rolls. I love you an extra ton because baking is not one of my strong suits. Number one: I make a massive, giant, huge, kitchen-earthquake of a mess. Number two: my stuff never turns out right. Number three: it's not as much fun as cooking because you have to stick to the recipe and get out a billion and one measuring cups and spoons. Whoops, sorry...a billion and two. BUT - then ...
Mini BBQ Meatloaves
Even if these were gross, I would probably still be in love with them because they are adorable. Little meatloaf muffins 😍. So cute. Luckily they are not only super fun, but they are also very yummy! These little guys take no time to throw together, and they perfectly distribute throughout your standard muffin tin - it's quite satisfying, actually. I never used to be the biggest fan of ...
Blueberry Butter
Blueberry butter. It's a thing. And it's upping breakfast's game hard. Not that this delicious butter has to be served with breakfast or anything, but...I'm just sayin'...smeared across a biscuit or across a toasted slice of cinnamon bread in the morning? Heaven. H-e-a-v-e-n. When I have stumbled across fruit butters in the past, they always seem to use jam as the fruit ingredient. I considered ...
Herbed Mixed Berry Salad
Do you guys find yourself craving healthy, fresh things like fruit and salad if you've had a few days of unhealthy eating? This happens to me biiiiiig time. If I've had some meals over the last few days that aren't exactly packed with nutrition (i.e. pizza...burgers...nah mean?), I end up having this deep desire for crunchy, fresh salads and bright, tangy fruit. That was me this weekend. On ...
Baked Ham and Swiss Croissants with Honey Mustard Sauce
This warm, melty, gooey, comforting croissant sandwich has been on my mind for weeks. Ever since the thought popped into my brain, I haven't stopped craving it! I brought it to work today for lunch and was just counting down the minutes until I could eat it. THEY ARE SO GOOD. Does this give you a small peak into my food-obsessed brain? The fact that I was counting down the minutes until lunch ...
Cheesy Pizza with Lemon Arugula
Have you heard the people on all the fancy cooking shows talk about trying to achieve a "balance of flavors" in their recipes? Like a mixture of textures, flavors, acidity, richness, etc...? Well, usually that is way above my pay grade, and I just try to make food that tastes yummy, BUT this recipe is the epitome of that balance of flavors and textures. If you take away the arugula, what you are ...
Pumpkin Spice Granola
Alright, first of all, I've gotta give a big shout-out to my friends over at Chobani for sending me a delicious package of their products. I love representing companies that I can actually stand behind, and Chobani is definitely one of those companies! Greek yogurt is always something I have in my fridge, and Chobani is always the brand I buy. Especially now that they came out with their whole ...
Pumpkin Bread French Toast
Hold the phone. Hold. The. PHONE. French toast made with homemade pumpkin bread is happening all up in here right now. And let me tell you people, it is sweet, fall-y, rich, dense, and SO flavorful. Does it get much better than pumpkin bread in the first place? I can't attest to your feelings on the delicious loaf of autumnal goodness, but for me personally, I would be content sitting in my ...
