  Well the chilly Minnesota weather has officially set it, and wouldn’t you know it, our furnace decided to stop working on us.  Since our house was at around 60 degrees, Eric and I were craving something to warm us up, and what better to do that than Mexican?!  Now, typically, I would make fajitas with chicken, but we’re getting a little sick of chicken and decided to do steak instead.  Feel free to sub out any meat of your… Read more »

Well, the time of year most Minnesotans dread has finally rolled in my friends.  Fall time.  I, however, am not one of those people…I love absolutely EVERYTHING about fall.  From all things pumpkin and apple, to football season, to fashion (um hello boots, leggings, and sweaters?!), to two of my favorite holidays (Halloween and Thanksgiving) and I’m even a lover of the colder, fall weather.  This weather is perfect for sitting by your fireplace with apple cider, your hubby, and… Read more »

Hey everyone, hope you had a good Sunday-funday.  We spent our day with our best friends tailgating, watching our beloved Vikes play horribly, and watching more football.  I’ve got another tailgate/hosting friendly recipe for you all and it’s AHHHHmazing.  Brownie batter dip aka heaven.  Due to the copious amounts of adult beverages that tend to be consumed while tailgating, I lightened up the recipe a bit…because lets be honest, the last thing you want is to add unnecessary calories, AND… Read more »

Any ways… the best time of year is among us–football season.  We all know what that means…tailgating and watching games.  Since Eric got a new 60″ for his birthday, we’ve been having our friends over for the games (aka I get to make appetizers and snacky things for everyone to… Read more »

So Eric and I have been wanting to do lettuce wraps for dinner for a while now and I am huge fan of the Thai beef lettuce wraps at Big Bowl.  I did a search on Pinterest for a Thai lettuce wrap and it provided me with a bunch!  Since we’ve been trying to eat less red meat, I substituted the sirloin, called for in the recipe for ground turkey.  I also changed a few of the ingredients to make… Read more »

So green beans are most definitely one of my favorite vegetables. Hands down.  I’m also a huge lover of cheese….every kind, on anything and everything, I love it all.  I typically just saute my green beans with garlic and olive oil, but when I stumbled upon this gem of a recipe, I knew I had to give it a try.  It’s super simple, requires few ingredients, and makes for a quick side. **Note: I’m one of those people who likes… Read more »
