If you step into the home & garden section of any store right now, you’ll likely see a huge display of mason jars. For the last couple years, mason jars have ruled spring! They’re cheap, simple, and have so many uses. I’m sure you’ve seen some mason jar crafts, but are you familiar with mason […]
The word “summertime” screams two things to me: easy and healthy, so every summer I try to eat less junk food and more healthy snacks. It isn’t all that difficult since so many of my favorite fruits and veggies are in season, but after a while, I get lazy. I really do love eating healthy, […]
Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult. Instead of making an elaborate four-course meal, you can whip up these easy healthy recipes in no time at all. We understand that finding a moment to spare is often impossible, especially when you’re running errands or going to pick up the kids or working a little late. […]
Dinner is not the time to be flipping through Grandma’s old recipe cards. After a long weekday, the last thing you want to do is embark on a super-involved recipe, no matter how delicious it might be. We’re all about the shortcuts! Quick dinner ideas leave more time to spend with loved ones and/or Netflix. […]

Sending them back to school has its perks, but there’s also the sadness of another spent summer. Thankfully, there’s plenty to look forward to when heading back. New school supplies, new classes, new teachers and […]
I used to be intimidated by a lot of truly appetizing chicken recipes just because I’m not confident in my chicken cooking skills. I know I can do it, but the chicken just doesn’t come out as delicious. I’m probably just too used to professionally-cooked, tender chicken from stores or restaurants.

Cooking up a big batch of something and freezing the leftovers can be a huge lifesaver. On a busy day when there’s no time to slave away in the kitchen, all you would need to do is reheat and eat. This takes minutes compared to the hours it would have taken to prepare and cook […]
