The Perfect Summer BBQ & Steak Marinade
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, INC. and The Coca-Cola Company, all opinions are mine alone. #IceColdSummerMoments #CollectiveBias The past few weeks, Brad and I (and my Dad) have been hard at work updating our deck! We are keeping the footprint the same, but rather a cosmetic change to composite decking and railing. […]
Easy Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwich
I am always looking for delicious dinners which are easy to make, and are from ingredients that I generally have in my fridge. This is especially true in the summer when I don’t necessarily want to heat the oven or grill. We love chicken recipes because they are easy and versatile. This Easy Shredded BBQ […]
Apricot & Balsamic Baked Chicken
Happy September! As the summer draws to a close, the grill is used less, and the oven more, when we cook our nightly dinner. Throughout the summer we enjoy canning various fruits as it comes into season. Apricots are some of our favorites, and I’ve utilized these delicious canned apricots into the chicken recipe I’m sharing […]
Pasta with Apple Sausage and Sweet Basil Garlic Marinara
One of our go-to dinners is spaghetti, it is always in the pantry and can be made in just a few minutes when both Brad and I are late getting home from work. Sometimes I try to make spaghetti a little bit more exciting through other pasta shapes, flavorful marinara sauce, and other additions. I […]

Potato Hash & Vegetable Casserole
I’ve teamed up with some awesome bloggers for a recipe challenge today. The theme this month was potatoes so we each came up with our own take on a potato recipe. I had this awesome idea to make my own tater tots (for those of you here in the Pacific Northwest: I love my Taco […]
Woodwork Wine & Grilled Steak
This post is in collaboration with Woodwork Wines. All opinions are my own. Even though it is winter, Brad and I still like to use our grill for cooking dinner whenever possible. I guess this is one advantage to living in Seattle – our winters are pretty mild (although Brad does get rained out pretty […]
Easy Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes
Earlier this week, I posted some delicious Honey Balsamic Pulled Pork that I made in the slow cooker during our unexpected remodel. While I was at it, I kept the crock pot going and made another meal the next day. When I was thinking about what sort of dinners I wanted to create in the slow […]
Honey & Balsamic Pulled Pork
If you follow along on Instagram or Facebook, you might have heard that Brad and I are in the midst of an unexpected remodel. Late last week I came downstairs to discover that we had a little indoor lake all over our floors. Long story short, pretty much all of my belongings that reside in the […]
