It’s virtual Thursday, y’all! For my fellow 9-5 office workers, you likely understand that term. It’s also known as virtual Friday eve. Virtual Thursday is so much better than real Thursday, because it means your work week got trimmed down to a reasonable 4 days and you’re about to have some extra Read More
Joanna’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
You didn’t think I could stay away from the Magnolia Table recipes for too long, did you? The book is sitting on top of the media storage furniture (technical terms) at the end of our kitchen counter (#apartmentlife) so it’s constantly begging for another recipe to be tried! We had a pretty low key 4th of July celebration that consisted of Read More
Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes
Taking a quick break from the Magnolia Table cookbook to bring you one of our favorite side dishes! But speaking of the Magnolia Table cookbook, I’ve since tried the meatloaf and chicken pot pie and will definitely cook both again (with slight modifications) to photograph and share with y’all! And that banana bread? Yeaaah, I’ve made that one three more times. If you make it, I promise Read More
Grilled Havarti, Tomato & Basil Sandwich
One of my go to side dishes and a new series of posts all around our home building process (construction starts tomorrow!!) are coming soon, but first…one more recipe from the Magnolia Table cookbook! I warned y’all about this last time! I still don’t think anyone is complaining though, because who doesn’t love Read More
Banana Bread
Just letting y’all know, the Magnolia Table Cookbook is going to be a bit of a theme on the blog for a while as I recreate her yummy recipes over the next several months! Everyone okay with that? I thought so 🙂
Delicious banana bread is stored in tupperware on our kitchen counter right now thanks to Read More
Fresh Tomato Salsa
As promised, this is part two of ‘taking your taco Tuesday to the next level’ and it’s all about the freshest tomato salsa. I suppose this could also be called pico de gallo, because I think they are pretty much the same thing. A small warning…making this will Read More
Homemade Taco Seasoning
There are a few ways to take your taco Tuesday to the next level and it starts with the basics: ditch the store bought seasoning packet and make your own seasoning mix! It’ll take you around five minutes to make and you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen. In every scenario, regardless of what I’m making, I always find the Read More
Avocado Egg Salad
One of my good friends is moving to the country too, about 10 minutes from where our new house will be. A few weeks ago we were texting back and forth about the build process and living in the country; we both want to have chickens living in a cute coup providing fresh eggs for us! The funny part? Who would have Read More
Three Cheese Stuffed Shells
It’s been a busy few weeks, y’all! I’ll get you up to speed. Working, packing, moving, cleaning, picking up take out, repeat. Busy. That sweet place we’ve called home for the past eight years officially belongs to another family now. We backed out of our driveway for the last time on Wednesday, left our keys behind and completed the closing on Thursday. It’s such a weird feeling at first, like strangers are living in your house. I do hope they enjoy it as much as we did; that house was Read More
Creamy Pasta Salad
There is always two ways to look at everything. This past week has been a bit exhausting, yes. You know what else it’s been? Productive! That’s the positive perspective.
So this past week… Read More
