I almost threw in the towel with this week's post. Not because we don't plan on eating, but because we're on vacation right now and will be for another few days, and who wants to think about stuff like meal plans while on vacation? Not this girl. But...we do need to eat, so we conjured up a modified menu. Go us! Oh! I'm heading to Trader Joe's either tomorrow or Tuesday while the husband hangs out in his version of heaven: a woodworking store. We compromised and decided he can spend an hour … [Read more...]

This Week’s Eats {May 18}
Last week we had some good eats over here with a few new recipes that worked out well. I was especially excited about the loaded sweet potato skins that we had, so much so that we're having them again this week! It's so crazy how much my tastes have changed; I used to hate sweet potatoes and now they're on our plates several times a week. I'm also excited about last night's meal. We ate homemade General Tso's chicken and it was really tasty! (By the way, does that link work for you? I can … [Read more...]
This Week’s Eats {mother’s day}
I'm going to make this short and sweet, because waffles are about to grace the table in front of me any minute. My husband's a bit upset with me, though, because breakfast was supposed to happen in bed this morning—it is Mama's Day after all—but with a very....spirited one year old, I explained that breakfast in bed wouldn't be as relaxing as it sounds. Besides, Julia already gave me the best gift: instead of her usual 5 am wake-up, she got up today after 7 am! This mama got to sleep in today :) … [Read more...]
This Week’s Eats {may the 4th be with you}
I'm usually much more prepared for Cinco de Mayo than I am this year. Take last year, for example: I shared all of my favorite Mexican recipes with you. (Seriously, take a look if you need to add something to your menu for tomorrow!) This year, my husband's taking over. Actually, he's taking over the entire week and I honestly don't know too much about what he's got up his sleeve. He made a secret menu, complete with a secret grocery shopping list, and even dubbed this week "Mother's Day Week." … [Read more...]
This Week’s Eats {april 27}
I feel like we're getting in a rut with this meal planning thing. I want to try new recipes, but I have no desire to take the time to actually find and make the new recipes; I'm also getting tired of the same stuff we eat over and over. I'm blaming the little one for the fact that I dread dinner-time lately. She throws such a fit during dinner that it's not even enjoyable to eat. It's just a stage (so I've read), but...ugh! Where did my awesome little eater go?? With that said, I haven't had … [Read more...]
This Week’s Eats {april 20}
Hey, y'all, sorry this is up late today. It is Easter, though, so hopefully you spent your time celebrating this joyful day with family. We just got back from a weekend in Savannah, and I managed to stay off my computer the whole time. Go me! Our trip was good, but don't expect to see any pretty pictures of the city from this trip, because it rained the whole time. Thank goodness we've been there before so I didn't miss out on seeing anything. We walked around a lot and ate some really good … [Read more...]
This Week’s Eat {april 13}
Was it just me, or did last week just drag on...and on....and on...? I was ready for it to be Friday on Monday. Goodness gracious. And now, of course, the weekend flew by way too fast. I'm excited for this week, though, because at the end of it we're takin' a trip to Savannah! It's been a little over two years since we've been there, and I've been itching to get back. All the flowers are in bloom down here now, too, so I'll be sure to take my camera. We've been there a handful of times before, … [Read more...]
This Week’s Eats {april 6}
Happy Sunday! My husband is currently making some strawberry and banana pancakes, my daughter's running around dropping Cheerio's everywhere, Bella's following after her and eating all the pieces she's dropped, and I'm here typing this while sipping my cinnamon coffee and listening to the rain fall outside. So far, today's pretty good. We went a little off book last week when it came to meals (I was craving pizza one night instead of fish, so we scrapped the seafood and made some quick paleo … [Read more...]
This Week’s Eats {March 30}
So, we're officially into spring—are you guys grilling a lot? We're pretty big into grilling over here. Actually, scratch that. My husband's the one who stands over the hot grill while I'm inside fixing everything else up for dinner, and for that, I'm very thankful. I should actually probably learn the ropes so I can grill my own grub once he deploys. We're keeping it simple this week, food-wise, since we have family in town, and because I'm still sleepy and (to be honest) not really in the … [Read more...]
