Petit Foodie

The weekend is finally in sight!  It has been a long week and some much needed R&R is in store.

 
I hope your weekend is filled with lots of beauty!

Buying jams and jellies can be such a headache for me.  So much that I tend to avoid the situation {something I tend to do often}.  This leads to plain old nut butter sandwiches.  Which leads to a cranky mommy and five-year-old.  I just find it so unappealing to buy jams that are loaded with [...]

Ever get tired of the same old thing for dinner?

I know I sure do its just never ending. The same old boring recipes. That’s why I love thisrecipe so much. You can change a few ingredients and it gives it a completely different appeal. Love.

I’m a simple girl. I don’t like a lot of ingredients [...]

Whew it’s been awhile!!  Where has the month of July gone?!  Things have been hectic but we have been managing to enjoy our summer months ’round here. 
Ava is having a blast spending time with family and even making a quick trip to the beach.  She will be starting kindergarten soon {cries}! She is so very excited [...]

My sister gave me this blueberry pie recipe a few years ago.  I have never used any other!  Strangely I had never had a fresh blueberry until about 3 years ago!  Crazy I know.  They are now my favorite food!  I can’t think of any better way to eat them than in a pie coated with butter, [...]

Today is my last day being 25 years-old.  Honestly, I feel a bit nervous!   Where is the time going?   This year has been a blur and I feel like I’m just going through the motions. 
I hope in my 26th year of life I begin to LIVE.  To awaken all my senses and stop mindlessly [...]

 So when I was contacted by The Original [...]

Have a great 4th of July weekend!

I’m by far a carb loving gal. I could live off of pasta and bread. One thing that always bothers me about pasta though you always feel so full and then empty right after eating it. Finally I have found a solution to my pasta woes….brown rice pasta!!! This pasta leaves you feeling [...]

Today I had the day off from work.  It was a simple kind of day! The kind I have not had in awhile!  Other than a few minor chores Ava and I spent the day lounging about and soaking up the sun!  We got her a new fancy sprinkler and she spent hours outside.  It [...]
