Lemon Drop Cloud Cookies

Lemon Drop Cookies

I'm one of those people who seem to be in the Christmas spirit all year around. No offense to Thanksgiving (I love you, I do) but Christmas is so great, I feel that it needs almost 2 months of prep. Peanut Butter Blossoms One thing I overdo every year (if that's even possible) are Christmas cookies. I don't limit myself to just the classics either; I…

With All Things in Life, There is a Season

November 13, 2015 by Melissa
Cute fall time outfit

With all things in life, there is a season. When I was about 7 years old, I took on conquering piano, but quickly changed my mind when the instructor tried to get me to move my hand position around the keys. (To be perfectly honest, music was never my forte, I'll leave that gift to my brother, Chris.) Then there's a season for more serious things in life,…

Orzo & Veggie Bowl: Easy Dinner Idea

November 5, 2015 by Melissa
Whole Foods Plant Based Diet

Last night Dj & I watched the documentary, Forks Over Knives. It's a look into our dietary health and how our diets as humans and nations has changed over time. It was SO interesting and I highly recommend checking it out if you're interested in health and food. The diet centers around more plant-based, whole foods, which I know is very important. They made the argument…

Florida Georgia Game & Halloween Weekend

November 3, 2015 by Melissa
Halloween Costume Ideas

Justin, Dj, myself, Brian, and Mel Halloween is probably the holiday that most makes me miss the innocence of being a kid. Christmas, Thanksgiving, and those family based holidays you never outgrow, but Halloween is one of those that you can actually be considered "too grown up for". [I don't think I'll ever be one of those people though!] I so vividly remember being 7 years…

The Best Ever Banana Nut Muffins

October 23, 2015 by Melissa
The Best Ever Banana Nut Muffins

I know what you're thinking.. "the best ever banana nut muffins, really, the best ever?" But trust me on this, I do not use "the best ever" lightly. The muffins will convince you on your first bite; moist and cakey on the inside, a bit of crunch on the outside, all while staying nice and soft for days after baking! One of my friends at work…

Healthy & Hearty Fall Soup

October 18, 2015 by Melissa
Healthy and Hearty Fall Soup

Smokey turkey kielbasa + fresh veggies + hearty beans & potatoes = the perfect brothy, nutrient packed, and filling fall soup. When the weather cools down, I tend to gravitate more towards the warming comfort foods. Soups, oatmeal, fresh hot muffins, crock pot meals... You get the gist.  :) This soup is the perfect balance of light yet hearty. My meat & potatoes loving boyfriend even…

Pulled Zesty Pineapple Chicken [in the crock pot!]

Pulled Zesty Pineapple Chicken

This week, I dusted off my crock pot. It's a "chilly" 70 degrees in Florida, and finally feeling like fall. Autumn to me means a few things: Soups Pumpkin Oatmeal & most importantly: crock pot recipes Sunday morning, I woke up early with an unusual amount of energy. I went on a 20 minute run, cleaned my apartment, did all the [masses] of dishes, and even…

7 Blogs I Read Every Day

What is it about fall that's just so cozy? I'm loving the cooling weather, the pumpkin scented candles & baked goods, and of course, overly fuzzy blankets. Another thing that comes with fall is my reading list jumps up. Since I'm no longer hitting the beach or going out as many nights as I do in the summertime, I try to give my brain more of…
