Flower Shaped Mini Lemon Curd Tarts
Some days it seems like the angels sing, the stars align, and everything falls into place in order to make things happen. When that happens, life is easy as pie – or in this case, tarts. My HH and I were thinking about how nice it would be to have just a little something sweet but didn’t…

Pintesting Weave Your Bacon BLT
Sometimes less is more, and there is a lot of minimalist going on lately. (Wait. Is that an oxymoron?) Tiny houses are all the rage right now. Have you seen them? They look like glorified tree houses, or doll houses on steroids. They’re so cute, but I can’t live in a house that’s smaller than…

Cheesy Broccoli Orzo
Does anyone else seem like you make and eat the same meals? The dinner rut is a tough one to deal with because we all have our favorites, comfort foods, and quick-on-the-table meals that are the family approved stand bys. Don’t get me wrong – pizza night is not to be trifled with, but you…

Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli
I love our neighborhood Chinese take out place for a quick dinner that doesn’t make me feel completely guilty for not cooking. One of our family favorites is Beef and Broccoli. It’s got broccoli, therefore it must be healthy. Sure, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. When I saw this pin by Damn…

Peach and Cherry Tarts
It’s time to Celebrate! Summer is a time of celebrations. There’s Independence Day (and Canada Day for my Canadian friends), Labor Day, and many birthdays of friends and family – including MINE (yes, I still get excited about my birthday, don’t you?). Summer is a great time to party it up! As much as I…
