Recently we have been switching up pizza night with healthier options (although Aimery still gets his pepperoni delivered 🤪) and I’ve been loving this Mozzarella and Zucchini Flatbread! It took me a couple failed attempts to get the perfect flatbread recipe, but lucky for you I found the ONE. Keep reading for the recipe!
Read MoreI can’t believe the holidays are less than two weeks away! This is the first year Ben and I will be celebrating as a married couple, so I’m looking forward to having him be a part of our traditions and making new ones together! Since Aimery was little, we’ve had a routine in the Winter that on Sundays we would spend the afternoon baking. Now that Aims is getting older he’s able to help a lot more and appreciate these family times as well!
Read MoreTis the season for fun recipes and baking with family! Now that the weather is colder, I love finding things to do for our family inside, and better yet, in the comfort of our home. Something a lot of people don’t know about me is that baking, and cooking in general, is a passion of mine!
Read MoreThis year is Ben & I’s first as a married couple! By combining our families around the holidays, we get to try so many new dishes from each side! For our dinner each year, my mom makes her Italian Wedding Soup and it’s always been my favorite, but I’m kinda bias 😉 It’s always a hit, so I had to share it with you guys! The recipe is super simple, easy to make, and perfect for those cold winter days!
Read MoreSince this is our first year as a married couple in our new home, Ben and I are excited to host our first ever holiday party! We are looking forward to inviting our close friends and family to our home and share some of our favorite recipes. Growing up, my parents would always request their friends to bring their favorite holiday dish or desert to our holiday parties, and that is something I would like to continue in our own home! It is always so fun to hear the stories behind favorite side dishes or treats - whether it was a recipe that has been passed down through the generations, or something they created on their own!
Read MoreDuring the holiday season, I always volunteer to bring my favorite charcuterie boards to events and parties! My mother-in-law also requested that I bring one over on Thanksgiving morning, so I’m looking forward to recreating this one as an appetizer before our big meal together as a family! If you follow me on Instagram, then I’m sure you know making Charcuterie boards is one of my favorite things to do! I love creating them during each season and incorporating seasonal fruit, meat, and vegetables! Looking to create the most perfect Charcuterie board for thanksgiving this week? Keep reading - I’ll share some tips with you!
Read MoreWho has also already started decorating for Christmas? Normally I wait until the day after Thanksgiving to put up our tree, but this year - we decorated the day after Halloween! I was too excited to wait. Along with decorating early, this year we are excited to be starting new traditions like holiday baking. Today we made Cranberry Orange Shortbread Cookies with orange juice and they were SO good! Keep scrolling for the recipe!
Read MoreTailgating football games is one of our family's favorite fall activities! I’m lucky enough that one of my best friends goes to University of South Carolina so we get to go down and visit for games! There’s nothing better than the game day atmosphere of all the fans, rivalries and my favorite part, the food! Ben’s go-to tailgating dish for USC tailgates are Southern Sausage Sliders. They’ve become a huge hit with our friends and I’m excited to share the recipe with you guys!
Read MoreWe had some leftover apple pie filling in our fridge, and so I decided to whip up some Apple Cinnamon French Toast so it wouldn’t go to waste! Aimery absolutely loves french toast - he went through a stage last fall where it was the only thing he would eat. Can you blame him though? French toast is SO good, and this recipe you can eat for breakfast or dessert! Nothing like a huge sugar rush first thing in the morning 😂This is definitely a lazy girl french toast recipe, so keep reading!

Read MoreWith back to school season quickly approaching, I’m already dreading the craziness that comes with this time of year! With Aimery back in school and all of us adjusting to new schedules, it’s more important than ever to make time for family dinner. Growing up, my family always made time for each other at the end of most nights, and that is definitely something I want to continue doing with Aims! I’m looking forward to dinner time with my family, even though sometimes it can be stressful to throw together with school, late work nights, and soccer practice taking over our fall routines. I would rather find meals that take under 30 minutes than to be away from Aimery for hours preparing a meal! It can be hard to find quick meal ideas, so I’m always on the lookout for easy meals to throw together and are great for my family!
Read MoreCan you believe we’re almost halfway through summer? With such a busy schedule it can often be hard to find time to get outside and enjoy my favorite season, while it lasts!

Read MoreWho says you can only have tacos on Tuesdays? We love tacos, no matter what day of the week! When Ben and I started dating, our families both started having a weekly dinner night for us all to gather together and catch up. Once a month, Ben and I host our families for dinner! This week, we hosted a Taco Bout A Party! They say, “When you find true love hold it with both hands because tacos can be messy sometimes!” so to say my heart is full is an understatement. Keep reading for our favorite taco idea!
Read MoreAlthough it isn’t always easy, I do what I can to have healthy eating habits in our home. My son is such a picky eater, so it can be difficult to get him to eat foods that have a healthy twist. Normally he can smell out every vegetable I try to hide in his favorite foods - nothing gets by him! I have had to be reallyyy sneaky lately to hide nutrient-dense foods into his 5 food groups (you know - chicken nuggets, pizza, mac and cheese, yogurt, and dessert). This week, I managed to sneak something that may seem crazy into his chocolate… Tofu! Yes, you read that right!
Read MoreI’m so excited to share my new favorite pasta sauce! We love making this sauce with our spaghetti and meatballs on weeknights because it only takes a few minutes to make! I’ve even found a way to sneak extra veggies without Aimery knowing. 😉Any way to sneak more vegetables into your toddlers diet, am I right?! Here's the recipe 👇🏻
Read MoreNow that Aimery is getting older, we have started sleeping in and watching cartoons on Saturday morning before finally getting around to cooking a late breakfast together. His favorite breakfast right now is Chunky Monkey toast with Thomas Breakfast Cinnamon Swirl Bread 😋

I recently fell in love with hummus toast and have been experimenting with new toppings to keep it interesting! My two year old is obsessed with hummus toast and loves to eat breakfast together every morning.
Read MoreIt’s that time of the year again, which means it’s time to grab your friends and family and celebrate the big game! Over the weekend, we had a Big Game party! From nachos to pigs in a blanket and cheese boards to baked beans, our party had it all! The hero of our party was hands down the Game Day Hatfield Nachos. Aimery would have eaten the whole plate if I let him!
Read MoreAimery and I decorated cookies earlier this week and he LOVED throwing sprinkles everywhere! I just had to share!!!
Read MoreEvery Sunday, I do all of my meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking for the ENTIRE week. Although it’s a lot of work to do in one day, it makes my life as a single parent easier since I don’t have to worry about cooking for the rest of the week.
