Hey guys! We have been talking away on our Instagram stories that we kind of forgot to keep our blog updated with what we have been talking about! The past two weeks we have been very into rotisserie chicken for quick, weeknight dinners. We have multiple activities during the week for the kiddos, and at the end of the day, the easiest meal to put together is a rotisserie chicken dinner. Here are some of the meals we have had, maybe they help you out too. Just make sure you check in with the kitchen where the chicken is roasted to make sure your allergy is not present. And as…
Chicken Enchilada Melt Subs
Happy Fall! It’s October 1st and we couldn’t be more excited about this month’s upcoming festivities; orchards, pumpkins, lattes, leaf piles, leaf peeping, camp fires, parties and trick-or-treat! Halloween is one of our favorite holidays to celebrate. As the kids get older, and our time to make meals becomes less and less due to their involvement at school + activities, my blog posts containing elaborate meals is diminishing by the day! I’m peeking back at prior posts thinking, “how the heck did I have TIME to make all that food?!” And the reality is, I didn’t.

Watermelon & Himalayan Pink Sea Salt
A friend of mine, @healthy.madeinmadison, posted this picture on Instagram about watermelon sprinkled with pink himalayan sea salt. I’ve heard about adding salt to watermelon, but I never actually knew why. Until today. And it has a lot to do with modernization of farming. If you want to learn more, click here. Basically, ADD SALT TO YOUR WATERMELON. Not nasty, bleached white salt, GOOD SALT. Like Himalayan pink sea salt, or just sea salt. Natural stuff. It really does wonders for the flavor (Thanks, Chemistry!) and aids with digestion. We took 1/2 watermelon and balled it, then sliced a lime, zested some of it over the watermelon, and sprinkled with…
Christmas Day Eats
We’re in the process of getting Christmas Eve dinner ready (yes, early so that we can enjoy time with the kiddos!). But we’re already thinking of tomorrows dinner. Here’s what we have planned, maybe it will be an easy idea for you, too. Christmas Day Brunch: Mimosas Strawberry, watermelon and blueberry fruit salad French Toast – shortcut, our recipe calls for day-old french bread. We know that Subway is safe bread, so we picked up 4 large loaves and they are in the process of chilling out on our countertop for tomorrow. https://www.yummly.com/#recipe/Baked-French-Toast-Allrecipes Organic breakfast sausages from Conscious Carnivore Lunch / Snack: Frozen Chicken Tenders – Brand: Tyson Frozen Onion Rings…
Weeknight Meatballs & Marinara
Tarek and Christina are common names in our household. I am addicted to everything HGTV, mostly because all other news is too stressful and/or ridiculous to watch / listen to. So if you’re a T&C fan as much as I am, the thought of the title “Flip or Flop” may be worth a ponder. Think about it…..they never show a “Flop” – at least I’ve never seen one. Have you? Leave me a comment if you’ve seen one. Where am I going with this? I decided to show you a “flop” of mine. If you follow me on Instagram (check lower-right on the homepage) you saw my genius idea of…
