Food has to be pretty good to wait in a 30-minute-long line in 20 degree weather. The Halal Guys are totally worth it. Haven’t been? It’s definitely worth the stop! Have you posted a Wordless Wednesday post on your blog? Feel free to link up! An InLinkz Link-up

Do Valentine’s Day “Just Right” at Outback Steakhouse
Here’s a little secret you may or may not know about me. I love food. (Ok, so maybe that wasn’t much of a secret)…I love cooking good food, but even MORE, I love eating good food at restaurants. That’s why I was absolutely 100% onboard when I was invited to be an Outback Steakhouse…
Slow Cooker Butter Chicken and Naan
Last week, I posted some pictures of our Sunday night crock pot dinner on Instagram and had more requests for the recipes (for both the butter chicken and the naan) than I was expecting. I found the recipe on Pinterest (isn’t that where all good recipes hang out?) and followed it to Half Baked Harvest….
Brighter Lives for Refugees #IKEABrighterLives
This past week brought some pretty major storms through our area. Ice covered everything – the roads, the walkways, and the trees. As beautiful as the ice-encased trees are to look at, they almost always mean one thing: trees are going to fall and the power is going to go out. Storms knock out…
The Swiffer Sweep & Trap #NewFromSwiffer
This post introducing the #NewFromSwiffer Swiffer Sweep & Trap is sponsored by Swiffer through SheSpeaks, but all thoughts, photos, and video are my own. I can get my kids to load and unload the dishwasher (in fact, I make them do it everyday). They rarely complain about vacuuming the family room floor. They don’t…
Valentine’s Day Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats
If you’ve been following my recipes for the past year or so, you’ll know that I have a “thing” for rice krispie treats. For 38 years, I only ever made plain rice krispie treats until – BAM – I discovered that I could add different ingredients and flavors to make all-new, totally unique treats. It…
Frozen {PSF Give Me Your Best Shot}
Believe it or not, I am NOT talking about the Disney movie. Not this time. Yesterday, we woke up to yet another day of school being cancelled due to the weather. Everything was covered in ice. So, naturally, I went out in my pajamas and boots with my camera around my neck in an…
Yes, Parenting Gets Harder as Kids get Older
I remember, as a teenager, recognizing something about myself. Although I had always considered myself shy, I felt very comfortable and confident around two groups of people: the very old and the very young. In college, I again recognized my strengths (and my weaknesses) and decided to major in Early Childhood Education. I have…
Maple Bacon German Pancakes
Note: The Eggland’s Best coupon, information, and gift packs have been provided by Eggland’s Best. Recipe and opinions are my own. German Pancakes are one of my family’s favorite breakfast dishes (and, oddly, we almost always eat them for dinner). I’ve been making them for longer than I can remember…and I must say that mine…
This Crazy Winter #WW
I know my area is not unique in the crazy temperatures or weather that we’ve been experiencing lately. We went from teens and below, with snow covering everything to 50s and rain and rivers running everywhere. And then the temperatures dropped again and all of those rainy sidewalk rivers froze in time for our…
