Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Milkshake was brought to you by Torani. All opinions are mine. #ToraniCookiesandCream If you survey Americans, cookies and cream ice cream will most likely ran pretty high as America's favorite ice cream.

Dinnertime is always rough because there are so many people to please around here! I'm thankful for that, but sometimes I need a meal that I crave! I don't know what it is, but chicken salad has always been one of my favorite meals. This recipe for Southwestern Spicy Chicken Salad is jam packed with veggies, flavors, and protein! I love that you can use canned chicken, rotisserie chicken, or any cooked chicken, really! Traditionally, chicken View Post
After having babies of my own, I quickly learned that "sleep like a baby" really does not mean what people think it means! Sure, there were times when my babies slept through noise and chaos, but babies, my babies, at least, did not sleep how I want to sleep! I definitely don't want to sleep like a baby! Now, I do wish I could sleep like my kids do. They have slept through the night consistently since they were 4ish (yeah, sad, I know!) View Post
Instant Pot Mexican Chicken and Rice is one of our favorite recipes! This post has been sponsored by Grass Roots, but all opinions are mine. My family has one thing in common. We all love meat. There is just something about a juicy grilled hamburger or baked chicken. When meal planning, I usually start with the meat we have on hand and form my meal around it. I like to stock up when there are sales and keep our deep freezer stocked with View Post
My mom always had this delicious dish growing up called Colossal Cheeseburger. I think my mom found the recipe in the newspaper, so it's not mine, nor hers, really, but all that matters is that it's DELICIOUS! We made it for the boys at the children's home when we were houseparents, and it was their absolute favorite meal. While we don't eat it super often around here, the hubby and boys really love it. Eat it with ketchup, View Post

Or maybe you wanted a house in the city, and what you sacrificed was your yard size. Regardless of how you ended up with a small garden and yard, it can feel discouraging to try and make the most of out it. But it’s not impossible! With some View Post
This post has been sponsored by Albertsons Companies family of stores. All thoughts and opinions are my own. A few weeks ago, I wrote about how excited I was to play the SHOP, PLAY, WIN!® Collect & Win Game featuring MONOPOLY at Tom Thumb. The boys and I went to the store, found a few items that would qualify us to get game pieces, and I opened them up and affixed them after we got home. I also scored with a few coupons and View Post

The Spring weather here in Texas has me craving all the garden fresh fruits and vegetables! Sure, it can still be freezing one day and HOT the next, but it is still pretty awesome. Hubby and I went on the Whole30 diet earlier this year and did well. It definitely taught us some healthy eating habits that we are still holding on to. And who knew that you could create such awesome things with WHOLE foods that have incredible taste? Ditching View Post
