Calling all veggie lovers! We LOVE veggies in our house. This chicken and zucchini Tex Mex skillet is so incredibly easy and mixes a bunch of our favorites! I'll be planting a zucchini plant in my container garden this year, so we'll be making this again after I harvest some... and I'm sure a few times in between! Get Preppin'There's a bit to prep in this, so start with chopping your veggies. I used one small onion and 2.5 bell peppers - I had half of a red one leftover so it got tossed in too! You'll want to dice your zucchini into about 1/2" pieces. I cheated and used pre-minced garlic, but if you're mincing fresh garlic you'll want about 4 cloves. I'm a little 'extra' and like to season ...
Zippy Cauliflower
Sweet and spicy oven roasted goodness for the win. I love love love roasted veggies! These sweet and spicy cauliflower slices are no exception. Whip them up as an easy addition to just about any meal.Get Choppin'This recipe used about 2/3 of a large head of cauliflower. I prefer thick slices, so I start by cutting the cauliflower right down the middle - through the stem and all. I then continue slicing to make 1/2" slices. Even if you're going to cut your cauliflower down into florets, I've found this is the easiest method.Get Down with the SweetnessPut your cauliflower slices in a large bowl and top with olive oil, maple syrup, sriracha and soy sauce. Stir 'em up and make sure they're ...
Spring Cleaning Checklist
Start your spring cleaning by deep cleaning and de-cluttering your house in 30 minutes a day for the next 30 days. Don't forget the FREE downloadable checklist!Yesterday was the first day of spring; so today, we opened our windows, let in the fresh air and started our spring cleaning. It's maybe (definitely) still a bit chilly, but not so chilly we're not accepting it's spring.Cleaning in our house is usually a weekend task and involves hours of cleaning and whining about cleaning... from me, from the kids, it just happens. And it's a chore. This year, I'm breaking down the basics (and adding a few) to about 30 minutes a day for the next 30 days. I'll be sure to share some of my best tricks ...
Etched Glass Bottles
The possibilities for etched glass projects are ENDLESS! Here's how you can make custom etched glass bottles. There's almost nothing I love more than making cute little custom gifts, so when deciding I was going to ask my brother to officiate my wedding, I couldn't think of a better way to ask him than with an etched glass bottle of his favorite whiskey.Prep your GlassRemove any existing labels from your bottle. I used a small metal palette knife under warm running water. The warm water softens the glue and makes it easier to scrape/peel off. I used Goo Gone to last of the glue that was still stuck, then rinsed with soap and water to make sure it was completely clean.DesignStart with a ...
What I’m Reading: A Humble Book Review
I'm taking a stab at my second book club this year... The first had some great book recommendations, but I only participated in one of the groups discussions. It was a virtual book club organized in a Facebook group with a Zoom-style discussion once a month. The second was organized with some friends at a favorite local watering hole, which will be closing next week. Apparently I'm not the luckiest in my book clubs.I think I've read as many books during the last COVID year as I have in my entire life prior. I'd read the Harry Potters, the Dog's Journies, the Twilights, the Calendar Girls and the Fifties. More recently the Hunger Games, the Magnolia Story and 16 different books from the ...
Noom Review
Noomie Noom Noom... It's kind of like om-nom-nom deliciousness but backwards and in a diet friendly kind of way. I started Noom about two months ago, right after the new year, I know... how typical *oh well shrug* Not knowing much about the program going in, and being sick of the on-again-off-again low carb diet we'd been trying, my expectations were low. I've seen their commercials selling the 'psychology' of weightloss, and it sounds weird, but it's dead accurate. I haven't felt like I've been on a diet. Who can't get on board with a diet that doesn't feel like a diet?! Bonus! You'll get a two week free trial and 20% discount using the referral link above.So far, I've lost 12 lbs. For ...
