I should probably preface this post by saying that this recipe is not the healthiest...it does have butternut squash in it, so there's that. I eat a pretty healthy diet throughout the year, so I have no guilt indulging in some yummy food during Thanksgiving. This Mac and Cheese is legit! It has all the taste and smells of fall. The nutmeg and thyme will make your tastebuds scream with happiness! The recipe is actually an adaptation of 2 recipes. It combines a recipe for caramelized butternut ...

Summer Cocktail Recipes
There is nothing better than a fresh, cold cocktail in the summer time! I've been loving moscow mules lately. The crisp and fresh flavors are so refreshing on hot summer evenings. While I love the traditional mule, I have tried some new ginger beer flavors to mix up my mule flavors and they are soooo GOOD! I mixed up my mules with Brooklyn Crafted Ginger Beers because they come in so many different flavors, even sugar free! But you can also get creative and make flavors of your own. I rounded up ...
Kids Easter Basket Gift Guide
It's hard to believe that Easter Sunday is less than 2 weeks away! It's time to start thinking Easter baskets for the kids! I love doing Easter baskets, mainly because I love jelly beans, but I also like to find fun basket stuffers for my kids. Easter can be total candy overload....jelly beans, chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, peeps! And my kids start eating the candy first thing in the morning! So I try to limit the sugar with some fun basket stuffers. I keep it pretty small....it's not ...
A Unique Gift for Valentine’s Day with Jord Watches
Are you a Valentine's Day grinch? I kinda am too. I think it's always nice to celebrate love and the love you have between you and your significant other, but why a holiday? I have since changed my view on the holiday after becoming a mom of 5 kids. Most of my time is devoted to everything kids...school, homework, sports, cleaning up messes, wiping tears...and hineys, playing games...well, you get it! There isn't too much time for my husband and I to "celebrate us". So, I will take full ...
Getting Organized in 2018
Fun fact...I'm kind of an organizational freak. I love the Container Store and the storage aisle in Home Goods. You know those pictures on Pinterest of super organized closets and OCD worthy pantries...well, they bring a tear to my eye and warm my heart. Ok, so I'm borderline OCD...but not totally crazy. I have kids so I have learned to let some things go. In all seriousness, I have big goals for 2018, and in order for me to meet those goals, I think its super important to make sure my life and ...
Homemade Holiday Gifts | Breads Baked with Love
Growing up, I remember our home filled with homemade cookies and treats from neighbors and friends. Everyone would give trays of their families' traditional baked goods. It was a favorite holiday memory of mine. My mom always baked delicious pumpkin, apple breads. The perfect flavors of the season! Fresh baked goods are great options as gifts for neighbors, family, friends, coworkers, hostess gifts, or anyone else! I use the small loaf pans so the recipe below can make about 5-6 mini loafs ...
