Chicken Enchiladas with Roasted Corn and Poblanos from our Produce Co-Op
Hi strangers! I realize it’s been ages since I’ve posted but since this blog is a hobby, sometimes real life has to take priority. That being said, we recently joined a local produce co-op and are blown away by the quality and prices of the produce they offer. Our bin this week included a lot of Mexican friendly produce so I decided to tinker around with them and came up with these Chicken Enchiladas with Roasted Corn and...
Vintage Shabby Chic Mad Hatter Tea Party
In effort to continue recycling birthday themes, we had tea party, round two this past weekend. While the original plan was to simply duplicate the original tea party from 7 years ago, as I began mentally preparing this party, I decided I wanted to add a little something different and quickly settled on a Vintage Shabby Chic Mad Hatter Tea Party theme. I didn’t want it to be an actual Alice in Wonderland party but I was in love...
An Easter Recipe Worth Sharing
I hope you had a lovely Easter! We had a super low-key Easter breakfast at home with my parents and one of the new recipes I tried was so good, I had to share it with you all! Actually, I’ll share them all but we certainly had favorites. I said low-key but I definitely had a moment when I wanted to do a full blown tablescape. It totally passed. I pulled out some random pink plates I’ve had for years just to add...

They were easy and I served these bad boys in pjs, with funky hair, sans make-up. I seem to be making a baaaad habit of...
10 Reasons to Love Blue Apron
This is not a sponsored post. I just happened to receive my year in review from Blue Apron and decided to share my experience with you and my top 10 Reasons to Love Blue Apron. I have a Love/Hate relationship with Blue Apron. We tried it after a friend offered us a free trial. The first 2 free meals made me HATE it. Capital H. Oh hell. Capital ATE, too. I was so irritated that I actually emailed them to tell them how much I hated...
St. Patrick’s Day Ideas
I don’t think I’m even Irish (we have some questionable roots) but there is no denying that St. Patrick’s Day is flat out fun. And my husband actually IS Irish so that’s just lucky for me. Green beer? Awesome. Don’t drink? Corned beef and cabbage rocks. Don’t enjoy the food? Watch other people who drink too much beer make asses out of themselves. It’s a win-win. Admit it. And on a more PG...
