Last week we had our dear friends Marq and Dawn over for dinner. They are both vegetarians so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try out a recipe from The Kitchn that I have been eyeing: Stuffed Acorn Squash. Little did I know that Marq does not actually like acorn squash. When he admitted this to me I told him, "too bad, I already bought them so now you have to eat them." You can say that...

One of The Hub's favorite things to do is throw a whole bunch of random things in a crockpot and see what happens. Surprisingly, his concoctions are usually very successful! I like to call these meals Crockpot Creations. Today I'm going to share a creation that we made last week and transformed into 3 different meals. I call this creation, Pollo Loco.
You'll need:
4 chicken breasts
6 cups of...

Thanksgiving is hands down my absolute favorite holiday and I'm so excited that it's right around the corner! For the last 5 years The Hub and I have enjoyed an "Orphan's Thanksgiving" in San Francisco with about 30 of our closest friends. These Thanksgivings have been some of the most fun and memorable holidays of my life! (sorry Mom)
I will now share with you the point of difference that makes our...

Ahhh fall! Growing up in the Midwest, fall has always been my favorite time of year because of the vibrant colors and crisp bite in the air. In the sweltering humidity of August, I longed for day when I could throw on a scarf and take a walk through the crunchy red, orange, and gold leaves. Living in San Francisco, fall has come to take on a slightly new meaning. Fall is now the time of year when the sun is...

Like a lot of people in their late twenties/early thirties, many of my friends are starting families - it's such an exciting time! I just can't get enough of cute, adorable babies, as long as they aren't my own.
You may remember a few weeks ago when I made these Rattle Cupcakes for my dear friend Randi's baby shower. As her due date quickly approaches, my other friend Jill just gave birth to an adorable son...

The Hub and I just got back from a 10 day European adventure and it was amazing! I can't wait to blog all about it and share my favorite travel spots with you. But for now, we're just working on getting back into the swing of things and recovering from jetlag before we hope on a plane again next week.
We've been a little hectic this week so I wanted something very simple and fast for dinner. Gourmet Garden...

Football is a BIG DEAL in our house. The Hub is a born and bred insane Packers fan and we host game-watching every Sunday via our NFL Sunday ticket. I am pleased to say that opening weekend was a success! The sun was shining, the beer was flowing, the brats and tamale pie were hot, and the Packers defeated the Eagles! The Hub was a happy, happy man. After a Sunday of gluttony, we wanted something light for...

Whenever it’s been a long weekend of drinking and stuffing my face, like this past weekend, I like to detox with a big, giant salad. This warm salad is hearty enough that it will fill you up like a true meal, but low cal enough that you don’t have to feel as guilty as you have the last few days of binging. It’s super easy, so try it out!
Ingredients: Just put in as much of each thing as you feel...
