Hi Reader, I know that when most people think "high-protein dinner," they imagine bland chicken breast, dry turkey patties, and yet another sad bowl of cottage cheese. But here's the thing, it doesn't have to be that way. I’ve been loving putting together high-protein dinners that are flavorful, filling, and truly enjoyable to eat. Here are a few of my favorites to get you started: 9 Easy High-Protein Chicken Dinners High Protein Chick-fil-A Copycat My Super Tasty (& Healthy-ish) Summer Pasta...

Hi Reader, If your spring dinner rotation needs a little refresh, these four combos are exactly what you need. These are the recipes I pull out when I want to make something to look forward to on a weeknight. A homemade takeout night that beats delivery every time, an Italian sub dinner that feels like a proper spread, a Tex-Mex night where everyone builds their own plate, and an indoor cookout that brings the good vibes rain or shine!

Hi Reader, Happy Sunday! I meant to send this earlier but we've been working in the yard all day. I was on a quest to find a bird bath & didn't realize that finding one locally would be tricky. We also got a new baffle for my bird feeder pole & this to appease Rose, who has named all the squirrels. We just finished dinner & I'm looking over the month of May, which truly went by in the blink of an eye. 🏆 Top Recipes from May #1 on Facebook - this recipe comes from Bob's uncle. Most Popular on...

Hi Reader, Happy Tuesday...that feels like a Monday! We had a really fun trip to Chicago to celebrate Rosie's birthday this weekend. We visited the American Girl Doll store, the Shedd Aquarium, and fed peanuts to squirrels in a park with a very nice older man (possibly her favorite part). Since Robert & the girls had never taken the train before, that's what I booked thinking it would be a fun adventure. The trip there was smooth & peaceful but yesterday, our train home was cancelled at the...

Hi Reader, Ask anyone what they remember most about a really good cookout, and more often than not, it's not the meat and the hot dogs. It's that one side dish that was so good they went back four times and then asked for the recipe on the way out! So this year, bring one of these 9 sides to your cookout. They’re crowd pleasing, easy to make ahead, and always the first things to disappear. 9 Memorial Day Cookout Sides My Two-in-One Egg Potato Salad My Famous One-Pan Corn Dip The BEST Pasta...

Hi Reader, Mother's Day is one of those holidays that hits differently depending on the year. Some people are celebrating, some are missing their mom, some have complicated feelings about the whole day. Whatever this Sunday looks like for you, I hope there's something easy on the table. My Midwest might be showing, but I love a good casserole. They can feed you for three days, they don't need much once they're in the oven (or crockpot), and they almost always taste better the next day. 8...
