Why in the world is feeding kids so dang hard? You think you are making their very favorite meal in the world only to find out, today, today it’s the most repulsive meal on the planet!
Ugh! #TheStruggleIsReal
There is one meal thought that is almost a guarantee win in our house. That would be chicken nuggets. The problem is our family will go through those bags of store bought chicken nuggets so quick and they aren’t cheap! Not to mention I’m not exactly sure what they are made of…

Fresh!
Fresh breeze. Fresh garden vegetables. The fresh smell of the outdoors. When I think about summer, fresh is the first thing comes to mind.
After the sprinkles of spring, everything seems so fresh when summer finally arrives. I am a summer girl through and through!
One of my very favorite things about summer is all the fresh produce that comes into season here in California. You know what that means when everything tasty is in season. It’s also available at really great prices!
Where is your favorite place to use your “fun budget” to go eat out? Our family budget allows us to eat out about 2-4 times a month, depending on if it’s a date night, quick stop for Mexican, or a full-on family date. But every once and a while, mama (that’s me!) gets to pick!
I’m not exactly sure why, but I just cannot get enough of Chipotle Mexican Grill! Their fresh and quality ingredients I am sure have something to do with their amazing flavors. The only problem is the price…

Our family is a huge fan of Mexican food. Living down in San Diego we do not have a shortage of taco shops. That is for sure! But! We do exercise a lot of self control and resist the urge to stop and get take out… Almost all the time.
This recipe for black bean and zucchini healthy enchiladas is so easy to make that it really doesn’t take much time at all to prep.

As soon as the weather starts to cool down and the layers of clothing start to stack up, the very first thing I start to crave is a cozy hot bowl full of this slow cooker chili recipe! All the different layers of flavor loaded into a deep bowl covered with a gooey layer of cheese… Oh man! That’s the way to start the season off right!
Everyone has that one favorite meal or dish that your parents have made since the beginning of time. You know the one when anytime you take a bite you instantly feel like you are at home again.
For me mashed potatoes are one of those meals. My parents make a mean team when it comes to making mashed potatoes. So naturally when I started living on my own this was one of the dishes I was determined to master!
Over time I have tried adding and taking away different ingredients. So far these parmesan mashed potatoes are my family’s favorite!
When I tell the kids that I’m making bacon pasta for dinner, cheers ring out all around the house! This is one of our family’s very favorite meals of all time.
This chicken and bacon pasta recipes is one where you are sure that you just ate a meal from a super fancy Italian restaurant. The only thing bringing you back to reality is that you paid a fraction of the price you would have spent eating out! Not a bad thing at all!
