I used to have the hardest time remembering how to spell dessert. I’d find myself going to write it – and second-guessing about whether it had one “s” or two. One day, someone told me the most clever way to remember. Dessert has the double “s” because you always want seconds of dessert. And, since I’ve got dessert on the…

Best Thanksgiving Side: Moosie’s Potatoes
Happy Tuesday, Friends. I’m sharing a family recipe today. If you read yesterday’s post, you saw that Aaron and I headed to a Friendsgiving party this past weekend.

Instant Pot Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken
Happy Tuesday, friends. I’ve been seeing this Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken Instant Pot recipe make the rounds on social media, so I decided to give it a try.

Two three-ingredient Trader Joe’s dinners
Okay okay – my apologies for not doing a Bachelor in Paradise recap. We had a friend drop dinner off, and the dogs got in the pool for awhile.
