I will be the first to admit that I have eaten McDonald's more in 2020 than I have in my entire lifetime. And I was getting very tired of eating fast food more than food I could make at home, so I turned to Pinterest! I always save delicious dinner ideas to my Pinterest food boards, but I never look back on them to actually reference the recipe. The inspiration struck this week, and this blog post is going to be all about my husband & I discovering new at-home recipes for two people.

I think I heard the sleigh bells ringing on November 1st, which shows you how excited I am for the holiday season. One of the best things about the holidays, in my opinion, is eating the yummy snacks & treats that you don't typically get to have. I have been pinning snack & treat recipes on Pinterest a lot lately, and I want to share them with you all today! Keep on reading for links and ingredient cards to the best snacks & treats to make this holiday season.

If you want to have some variety in your meals, spices are a great way to mix things up. And there are certain spices that can elevate a dish from being mediocre to spectacular. My husband has been going full-steam ahead with cooking dinner, and I have no complaints! Especially when the food he makes is so good. And I wanted to share with you all some of his favorite spices, that I believe you need to add to your pantry.

It’s no secret that Pinterest can open a Pandora’s Box full of inspiration about an idea or activity. Luckily for me, Pinterest is full of recipes. Most of the recipes I pin are dessert, recipes, and my husband & I have tried many dessert recipes over the last year or so. And I decided to share the wealth with you all, and tell you about our tried and true Pinterest dessert recipes.

I have been digesting a lot of content on YouTube lately, but I don’t mind it with this one specific channel, called SORTEDfood. This lovely group of English lads has made cooking more fun & enjoyable for my husband and me in the kitchen. They have not only taught us some useful tricks for certain recipes but also time-saving hacks you can use in the kitchen to cut your cooking time in half! The video that I learned all of this great information from will be linked down below, along with their YouTube channel. Let’s get cooking!

Now that I work 40 hours a week again, I remember the struggle of making dinner right after work. The workweek is a struggle already, but throw dinner on top of that? It seems overwhelming at first, but fear no more! There are easy dinners out there that you can make during the week, still leaving time for relaxing with your loved ones or just your music.

Whenever I don’t know what to make for dinner, I always turn to Pinterest. Usually I type in “simple dinner recipes” in the search bar, but get left in the dark with complicated, hard to understand recipes. There have been a couple recipes that I have come across, which have had excellent turnouts each time we make them. If you’re interested in learning about some of my favorite dinner recipes (and maybe some sides too), then keep on reading!

It’s no secret that restaurants and food establishments are using their consumers’ devices to their advantage. Apps are easier to access than ever. So why don’t businesses use technology to their advantage, and encourage consumers to download their app? Restaurants usually have some sort of reward program available only through their app. Combine a reward program with app-exclusive deals, and you have yourself a win-win.

Hey everyone! I don’t know if you know this, but my first job was at Harris Teeter. It taught me a lot as an employee in the work force. Besides the working aspect, I learned some tricks along the way to get the best deals + stretch your dollar. If you’d like to find out how to shop smarter at Harris Teeter, then keep on reading!

Ever since I was about 16 or so, I started the tradition of going to different food locations to receive free birthday freebies. Not only was it a lot of fun, but I got stuffed with food in the process. This list has expanded over the years, and it is tried and true by no one other than myself.

I feel so silly for making all of these holiday treats, and not taking photos of the final product! What kind of blogger am I? Obviously not a good one. Nevertheless, these five Christmas desserts were so much fun to make for the Holiday office party I coordinated this last Friday. Every treat was a hit, and we barely had leftovers!

"Why is it so hard to make good food on a budget?" you may ask yourself. But have you ever tried to stretch your budget, or make your budget work FOR you? As a full-time college student and a fiancee, I struggle with what food to make on a daily basis. This post will hopefully shed some light on how if you shop right, you can make good food on a budget.
