I am sensing a pattern here…. it snows, and I make a warm, comfort meal to cheer myself up. I also have been creating meals based on using up weird, random things I have in my pantry, so this Chicken Broccoli Orzo Skillet was a perfect way to use up the half eaten bag of […]
I am not a huge fan of snow, but I put on my big girl pants and suck it up during winter because I LOVE Northern Michigan summers and falls so much. Obviously I am not every excited about these April snow showers we are experiencing and even less excited because it is making it […]
Happy Saturday! (Although doesn’t every day feel like Saturday? 😉 I had some ripe bananas in the freezer that we took out this week to make banana muffins. It is my Aunt Juju’s recipe, and her recipe is the best I think because of the sour cream, makes them super moist and delicious. Growing up, […]
I have been trying to keep my healthy eating in check while in quarantine, but sometimes I just seriously need some chocolate to get me through the day. No bakes are one of my favorites because it combines two of the most delicious ingredients, chocolate and peanut butter 😋 This is another easy one for […]

Quarantine Week #2. It is Tuesday. Normally on a Tuesday at this time, I am in the office, about 3 hours into patients. Today, however, I slept in till 7:30, cuddled on the couch with my kids while they watched their “show” and had some coffee. It is a weird new normal, but something that […]

Personally I enjoy playing beach volleyball with my husband, hitting the beach with my kiddos and road biking with my Dad. All of these summer […]
