I’m heading back home today after nearly two weeks at my mom and dad’s house. What a wonderful vacation (finally! I waited all summer for this!). The kids start school in a week, so I’ve got my work cut out for me when I head back. During the summer, we tend to eat more casually…

After-School Snack Ideas – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #82
I’ve waited ALL summer for this week….and no, I’m not talking about the eclipse, though that WAS pretty incredible! It’s finally my vacation week (and not a “vacation” where I’m sleeping in a tent and taking care of a couple dozen teenage girls). I’m here at my parents’ house relaxing, taking classes at BYU with…

Kings Dominion BBQ and Brew Fest 2017
My family and I were thrilled to receive an invite to BBQ and Brew Fest at Kings Dominion this past weekend. We couldn’t wait to return for our second year in a row (although this was BBQ and Brew Fest’s 3rd season at the park). The post was sponsored by Cedar Fair in conjunction with…
Tasty Garden Vegetable Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #79
I’m off at a week-long camp with two of my girls this week…sleeping in a tent and enjoying the stars and the peace and quiet of the woods. (Yes, I scheduled this post ahead of time). I hope you’re having a fabulous week, and I can’t wait to get back to see what new recipes…
Fuel Your Adventure with Safeway this Summer #FuelURAdventure
This is a sponsored conversation between myself and Safeway. All opinions are completely my own. Summer….in one breath it’s the relaxing break we crave all school year long. And in another breath, it is absolutely exhausting! Summertime is the time of mixed up schedules, early morning swim practices, summer reading, vacations, long, lazy play days…
