In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, or just using that as an excuse, we had some friends from church over for fajitas. Below you will find some festive photos and links to delicious recipes not to be missed! Find the salsa and guacamole recipes here. Find the horchata cupcakes recipe here. There was also this…
sweet potato, kale and onion pizza
This was yummy and suuuuper filling (seriously, we ate half as much as we usually eat). As usual, we used Trader Joe’s wheat pizza crust and subbed in mozzarella cheese. With this pizza in particular, we would highly recommend giving the crust a bit of a pre-bake before adding the toppings because they’re so thick…
chicken-and-veggie stir-fry
What’s that? You’re freaking out that there were two non-recipe posts back to back? I know. Fear not, for this post features food. We’re big on the stir-frys… They’re fairly simple (as long as you remember to prep everything before you start cooking), require little clean-up (just a cutting board, knife and one skillet, well,…

linguine
Some time ago, savannah had found this recipe for Linguine with Toasted Almonds, Parsley, and Lemon and she finally got around to making it. However, because we’re having fun finding new favorite buys at our new stores (we miss HEB terribly, but we’re quickly learning to like Trader Joe’s–more on that later), because of what…
spinach artichoke dip + wedding gifts
For many years, my mom has been collecting me a set of the Southern Living Annual Recipe books. A couple of years ago, I started keeping them with me. Besides family recipes with sentimental value, this is definitely my favorite thing to make. IT TASTES SO YUMMY. I’ve been wanting to make it for several…
