When I got my first job out of college, I went through a free-spending stage before settling down and tying the knot with Dave Ramsey– I mean, Addison. While I wish I had been wiser with my money that year, sometimes I’m thankful for my free spirit shopping trips I’d take every now and then. … Continue reading
Thank goodness Spring came when it did because yesterday I was finally able to open all the windows and doors in my house, which aided in my campfire smell problem. Oh, what campfire smell problem, you ask? I had been meaning to write about it, but now that it’s gone, it seems to be a … Continue reading
My epic week of cooking the leftover ham finally paid off with something awesome and delicious. This healthy quiche was so good! I got to have some last week while the Hubs was off on a business trip, but I’m excited for him to get to taste it tonight. I paired it with a balsamic … Continue reading
I love Asian steamed dumplings. They’re like my new favorite food. In fact, when I go to Chinese restaurants, I’m almost happier ordering an appetizer of dumplings with some steamed vegetables on the side and call it a meal. They are THAT good.

When our holiday plans got cancelled, I thought it would be a great way to turn the weekend around by giving my dear husband something he loves that I don’t particularly share the same enthusiasm for: honey baked, spiral cut ham.

Who knew all that green stuff would equal refreshing glasses of power. Seriously, I was bouncing off the walls. Here’s a picture of the ingredients: Yup, tons of kale, … Continue reading

But then there’s sometimes a bright spot to remind us that not all is … Continue reading
If you read my blog about the Hub’s vegetarian day, this was the recipe I was talking about that kept him from going out and getting a burger. It was super easy to make and I can’t wait to make it again! Spinach, Onion, Mushroom, Quesadilla w/ Feta & Parmesan (Yields approx. 4 quesadillas) 4 … Continue reading

I’m not much of a ranch person myself, so I haven’t tried out this particular recipe, but I found a clean eating recipe from The Gracious … Continue reading
