This post is brought to you by Bush’s Beans – and my gaggle of hungry kids home for the summer Oh my gosh – my kids have been home for the summer exactly one week and they have become the most demanding little creatures. For some reason, they keep saying I’m supposed to feed them [...]

Mushroom Love {Recipe: Mushroom & White Bean Tostada}
There are two foods in this world that could convince me to become a vegetarian: mushrooms and beans. I love both and every time I taste a dish featuring either of these ingredients, I seriously consider giving up my carnivore ways. The first time I had mushrooms and white beans combined was when I tasted [...]
Simplify Mealtime {Recipe: Oven Roast Turkey Breast}
This week started right on track, and I love it. I was able to sit down on Sunday afternoon and create a simple menu plan for our family meals. I made a list and went shopping and have truly appreciated how much time and money has been saved simply because I planned. I know that [...]
Almost There {Recipe: One Pot Sausage and Bush’s Beans Ragout}
My goal was to have a brand spanking new Dine & Dish to show you this week, but it’s not happening quite yet. Soon…very soon. I told myself I wasn’t going to post again until the new design was live, but I can’t do that to you! I can’t keep this delicious, comforting, one pot [...]
Versatile Beans {Recipe: Steak and Bean Fajitas}
I’m going on another year as a brand ambassador with the team from Bush’s Beans. We have always really loved Bush’s Beans around here, but I always felt a bit limited in how I used them. I had in my mind that certain beans go with certain foods, and I never thought to switch things [...]
Sam’s Club Simply Delicious Meal Challenge {Recipe: Asian Style Pork Loin}
My fourth child… the cute yet drives me up the wall one…has made me hate grocery shopping. In fact, I pretty much can’t stand going out in public with her. She’s my fit thrower. My “I don’t want to be in a cart… I want to walk”, independent, opinionated, challenging, one. Love her dearly, but [...]
Room to Breathe {Recipe: Red Beans and Rice}
You may have noticed I was a bit grumpy last week. I would share the reason why with you, but it is long and drawn out and involves a 5 year old screaming hysterically all the way to school and to her classroom about a water bottle. That’s how I started my birthday and it [...]
Hass Avocado Recipe Contest {Recipe: Beef Tostadas}
This post brought to you by Hass Avocado Board featuring Hass Avocados. All opinions are 100% mine. We’re kind of a fan of the avocado around our house. Avocado’s are one of those things that just seem to “ooomph” up an ordinary recipe, don’t you agree? A chicken sandwich sounds much more appealing when you [...]
The Gift of Time {Recipe: Lemon Pepper Shrimp Over Pasta}
I’ve been thinking a lot about time lately… lack of it, its speed and the meaning behind it. We have 4 weeks of summer remaining. I should be looking forward to those four weeks, anticipating the fun that we can have together, but instead I’ve been looking back, full of regret for the things we [...]
A Pasta Discovery {Recipe: Rustic Baked Rigatoni}
I know… I know… stop talking about the darn homemade pasta, right? I’m sorry! I just can’t help it. When I made homemade pasta for the first time last week, it was kind of a moment for me. I looked back at my Hamburger Helper days many moons ago and marveled at how far I [...]
