Spaghetti Squash Tex Mex Bowls

January 18th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Have you ever used squash as a bowl? This is the first time that I served a meal in the squash “shell” and I’m obsessed. That means that I have two less dishes to wash so that makes me happy. It’s the little things that get ya happy, right? Like just earlier today I tried avocado toast for the first time. Of course I had to document it on social media because if I didn’t then it might not have ever happened. Why has it taken me so long to try that? I’ve seen it forever and I’ve been totally missing …

Chocolate Pie

Is there anything better than a chocolate pie? Well, maybe, but I don’t imagine much. 😉 This dreamy deal is everything you’d ever want in a chocolate pie. The filling is smooth and chocolaty and the crust is flaky and delicious. Yup, this is one of the most awesome things that I’ve ever made so far. I made this pie twice last month. I wish that I could say it was done on purpose. Twas’ the night before Christmas and I wanted to bring pie to my mother-in-law’s for dessert. I diligently made it the day before so that it …

Stuff I’m Into: Winter Essentials

January 13th, 2016Tina4 Comments

Here’s the Stuff I’m Into lately for winter: A warm cozy scarf. I have bought way too many scarves this fall and winter, but this dusty pink one is my most recent favorite. Moisturizers. I use a variety of hand creams, but L’Occitane’s shea butter hand cream has been my favorite for years and it is a favorite weapon in my on-going war against dry skin. Dark polish and statement baubles. I love to sport dark nail polishes, especially during the winter so I treated myself to Chanel’s Vamp nail color (sadly they don’t sell this color any more so I guess I’ll …

Peanut Butter Bomb Smoothies

January 11th, 2016Tina4 Comments

It’s official, folks. I finally found a way to enjoy almond milk! Yes, I know, very exciting news. I have tried almond milk several times and in a variety of ways. Each of those times I found it gross, which is weird because I like almonds and I like milk. I don’t need to go dairy free (and I have no intentions of doing so either), but I want to expand my horizons. So with the new year upon us I thought I’d give almond milk another try. I’ve never tried it in a smoothie so I figure I’d give that a go. Well, …

Broccoli Quiche

January 8th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Quiche is always a good idea for brunch. Am I right or am I right? For one of our hosting gigs last month, I wanted to make my crustless spinach quiche. I’ve been making that recipe for years and it’s always a winner. I thought I had spinach at home but I was wrong. (Ugh, must pay better attention when making the grocery list.) I didn’t want to spend 30 minutes in the car to make a grocery run (and I didn’t want to ask, I mean beg, my husband to go either) so I did some quick thinking. I …
