Are you ready for more family Disney Movie Night fun? Today’s post features Tangled and Rapunzel’s Favorite Hazelnut Soup.

CookieCon 2017
I know I usually post healthy vegetarian recipes on this blog (and sometimes unhealthy desserts), but cookie decorating is really where my heart is at. So please indulge me a little as I post about an amazing opportunity I recently had. Last week I was able to attend CookieCon 2017 in Salt Lake City, Utah….
Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowls
My life is so beautifully chaotic right now. So much joy and so much mess. Typing blog posts with a wee one snuggling on my belly while white noise blasts. Scarfing down one of these Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowls and then frantically trying to shower before the baby starts screaming again. Listening to audio…
Easy Weeknight Huevos Rancheros
This easy weeknight Huevos Rancheros dish that I am sharing with you today isn’t really a recipe, more of an idea. It’s so easy and quick that it’s more just a pile of ingredients. I need recipes like these huevos rancheros now more than ever. Meals that I can quickly throw together and that don’t…

Whipped Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter
I usually like to balance things out on this blog. Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter right after Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars with plans for cookies in the near future is not balance. When I post something sweet and unhealthy, I try to put up a post or two with something somewhat healthy. And let me tell…
Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars
These Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars were inspired by a late night treat making episode with my sister. She was staying with me for a few days and we were doing what we do best: binge watching Gilmore Girls and putting together a puzzle from the thrift store. We always pick out an ugly thrift store puzzle…
Zucchini Chimichurri Quesadillas
Summer seems to be slipping away, so I wanted to post these Zucchini Chimichurri Quesadillas as one last summer produce recipe before it’s full on fall. This recipe is perfect for a busy week night dinner. Especially if you make the chimichurri sauce ahead of time. Being pregnant has drained every speck of my energy and…
