Happy Thursday, friends. We are one day away from Friday – woo hoo! It’s been a hectic week, so I’m ready for the weekend. We uncovered our pool last weekend, so I’m hoping we can get it all cleaned and ready for the season. I can’t wait. I want to share a super easy dinner recipe that is in my…

Easy Weeknight dinners
I’ve been a little discombobulated and not feeling the whole cooking thing ever since we got the news about Sawyer. I’m honestly just trying my best to stay focused at work, because I have an incredibly busy next two weeks. By the time I wrap up my work day, the last thing I really feel like doing is cooking. And…
Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Welcome to the highs and the lows (literally) of Texas weather. Just two weeks ago we were experiencing historic freezing temperatures. This week, it’s back up in the 70s. I’m still not completely in Spring mode, and I’m gravitating toward savory dishes for dinner still. An easy chicken pot pie was on my menu before the weather turns warm. I…
Easy 15 Minute Lunch (or Dinner) Recipe: Italian Pasta Salad
Since Aaron and I are both working out of our home (for the most part), and we now have a major renovation on our hands, lunches need to be quick and easy. I’m trying not to get a ton of dishes dirty right now because our water will be off once during the repipe. So, I figured I’d share a…
Chicken Fajita Casserole Bake
Happy Thursday! I don’t tend to make resolutions each new year, but I do try to set certain goals for myself throughout the year. This year, I decided I wanted to try out some new weeknight recipes. At some point later this year, I’ll be back in my office, and I won’t have the extra time that I’ve gained by…
Easy weeknight recipe: Creamy Italian Gnocchi
Happy Friday, I thought it would be fun to share an easy weeknight recipe with you today. But, before we begin, I thought I’d share what has been going on in the Gomez household: Yep, that pretty much sums up Aaron’s life right now. I’m putting some finishing touches up in our dining room, and I’ve been measuring away. This…
Holiday Baking: Top four holiday Christmas cookies
I mentioned yesterday that I made some special deliveries to some special friends and neighbors: Holiday cookie tins! Baking Christmas cookies has been a tradition since I was a little girl. My mom and I would spend hours in the kitchen baking. And my parents would pass along their goodies to friends, family and neighbors. When I went away to…
Recipe: Coconut Curry Shrimp
I have a certain arsenal of recipes that I turn to at various times throughout the year. This time of year calls for a hearty, warm recipe. So, I’m sharing my coconut curry shrimp recipe with you today. It does take a bit longer, so it’s not a weeknight recipe. Save this one for a weekend. If you are in…
Wednesday Work Tip + Tumeric Latte Recipe
Happy Wednesday. I have a couple of things for ya’ll today, including a work tip. First of all, are there any Bachelor fans out there? I’ve been a longtime fan of the show – like I’ve been watching since Trista and Ryan’s season. I typically have a group of girlfriends I watch with, but we are trying to keep it…
Happy Friday + Two Easy Recipes for Thanksgiving Week
Happy Friday! What a week. On Monday, we hosted an event that was virtual for the first-time ever, and it raised $1 million. I’m happy to have that one off the plate before the holidays, though. On Monday evening, our friend’s mom, Alice, invited us over to grab some homemade brisket and her homemade key lime pie. Aaron’s favorite pie…
