Welcome to December, friends! I officially ushered in the month by getting a little holiday shopping done, baking up some cranberry cinnamon sweet buns (recipe coming soon!), and watching my fair share of Hallmark Christmas movies.

Another turkey week has come and gone, and The Thanksgiving Feast is no longer. But oh boy, was it good!

It’s another Instant Pot recipe so … bonus points for that! I’ve been really digging my Instant Pot lately and still have a slew of recipes […] Read more…
These turkey burgers, you guys! I was playing around with a jerk turkey burger recipe from The Food Network and came up with this version which is AH-MAZING! Teacher Man raved. Even Joe liked them. Here’s the thing – ground turkey is like a blank slate. Go ahead and add spices and flavors because turkey […] Read more…
It’s a good Monday evening when I can have a grilled cheese sandwich for supper with Joe, finish my workout by 8 p.m., and tune in to The Voice while writing some new blog posts. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. 😉 This also made me happy this morning: Harvest time. This was […] Read more…
