    Naples Florida, The Perfect Couples Getaway

    10/18 /4 Comments

    We recently visited Naples for a very short weekend for my birthday. While it was not what I was expecting, I did enjoy the area and the food!After a super short flight from ATL we reached our destination RSW airport. As far as airports go this is one of my favorites! It is easy to get in and out of and the car rentals are on site. It took us about 35 minutes to get to our resort and from there the relaxation was on! We stayed at the Bellasera Resort. The lobby is beautiful and the pools are nice, but I am not sure I would consider this a…

    5-Minute Banana, Blueberry + Avocado Puree

    07/10 /No Comments

    5-MINUTE BANANA, BLUEBERRY + AVOCADO BABY PUREE   Such a simple puree that is packed with goodness! Avocado’s were some of the first foods I introduced to my little one and mixed with his favorites, this is a definite treat. INGREDIENTS: 1 cup blueberries, if using frozen thaw first 1 banana 1/2 avocado, peeled 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice INSTRUCTIONS Place all of the ingredients into a blender and process for 1-2 minutes on high speed, scrapping down sides every 30 seconds helps puree the blueberry peels. If puree is super thick, add in water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Serve and enjoy

    Shredded Pork Tacos

    07/18 /1 Comment

    Oh my word these are amazing! We are typically a 2 to 3 taco per person in our house. I had 5 and lost count how many my hubby ate! So good and easy since the pork is precooked and shredded from the weekend. (recipe here) To heat the pork I pan fried the meat with all of my seasonings and the crispy bits and tender meat was ridiculous good! Top with your favorites like avocado, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, queso, cilantro, whatever your palate desires! Serve with a side of black beans or pintos and enjoy! Pan frying the meat makes these simply amazing! Do not microwave the meat…

    Cast Iron Skillet Lasagna

    05/21 /No Comments

    I love love love lasagna! We haven’t been able to find a spot I consider great since moving to Colorado so I decided to make my own! I used my cast iron skillet of course and couldn’t be happier with the results. Okay maybe a touch more sauce, cause I like it saucy, would have been my only change. Can’t wait for y’all to try it and let me know what you think! I used regular-boil lasagna noodles since I personally am not a fan of oven ready. This also cuts the time down to an already very time consuming recipe!
