Butternut Squash Lasagna
This recipe screams Fall to me. It is so simple, savory and downright delicious. It is a must for a day when the weather is cooler, leaves are changing colors, and you have super cozy slippers (and a glass of wine!)
Spice Cake Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting
It was only a few weeks into the school year when it was my turn to prepare a special breakfast treat for the teachers. I wanted it to be something special. Something that started their day with a smile and a delicious treat.
Sriracha Chicken Skewers
Contrary to popular belief, there is a stay at home mom uniform. My hubby wears suits and dress shirts and ties and nice things to work. He sees people dressed nicely all day. And then he comes home and sees me in sweats, t-shirts, gym clothes, or some sort of stained article of clothing that would not go over well in an office environment. But it certainly adheres to the very strict stay at home mom dress code: Quick and Comfortable.
Next time you are wandering the grocery store mid-week, take a look around. Most likely you will see a gaggle of moms sporting their Lululemon compression capris with flashy Asics and some version of a Victoria’s Secret Pink t-shirt, sweatshirt or tank.
Balsamic Pesto
So far today I’ve dropped my big girl at kinder, gone to a PTA meeting, taken Rosie to the vet, signed up for dance class, went to the dentist, replaced the water filter on our fridge and replaced the wheels on my dishwasher.
Salmon Tacos
DUDE.
I just watched the Miley Cyrus video from the VMA’s. Wow. I think I actually lost brain cells watching it. Girl, you do NOT have the body to wear a flesh colored plastic granny panty bikini. Especially in front of millions of people. Grow your hair out, put some damn clothes on and keep your tongue in your mouth. GROSS.
In other news…..
A.J.’s Margarita Pork Tacos
The hubby works for the best company on the planet. Hands down; the best company any hubby could work for. The owner of the company is by far the greatest and most compassionate leader I’ve ever met who values his employees down to their core. He is knowledgable in everything from chopping down a tree to the legal ramifications of said tree and the effect its chopping will have on the price of tea in China. Well, not really, but you get it—he’s pretty amazing. Because he has created such a special work environment, his employees are equally as wonderful. They are all amazing people and everyone in the office really gels together.
Pickled Red Onions
I’m in a book club. However, it’s much less “books” and much more “happy hour” club.
Artichoke and Asparagus Ravioli
Today was an insane day. My to-do list was 20 items long filled with fun errands like the bank and dry cleaners. Can I tell you how much work it is to unpack two children for a two minute errand?
Lazy Sunday Omelets
There is nothing lazy about these actual omelets. It’s the Sunday that is lazy. The hubby and I live for our Sunday mornings. Buggies and Pixie come tumbling in sometime around 8:30 AM and they cuddle with us in bed for about a half an hour. Afterwards we plop onto the couch and watch a couple of their favorite shows; Sophia the First, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and Doc McStuffins. About halfway through the second show I disappear into the kitchen to start on breakfast. The girls are all over the map when it comes to what they want for breakfast…and what I’m willing to make (do I look like a short order cook?). Pretty much every day, Buggies asks me to make pancakes, and Pixie goes along w/ that. The hubby and I however, prefer a delicious savory omelet.
HUBBY’S NOTE: I highly recommend getting some Chile Oil and drizzling it on top of these things. Ridiculous good!
Citrus Herb Chicken
We are deep in throes of Summer people. I’ve survived two camping trips, a wedding, two weeks of swim class, gymnastics camp, play dates, swim dates, having the neighborhood children over, beautiful weather, great food, great friends and NO ALARM CLOCK.
