Lemon Chicken Marinade

Lemon Chicken Marinade

Christian and I grill about 2 times every week. We always prepare our food before hand, meaning we cook a good amount of veggies and protein to keep in our fridge so we can pack healthy meals every day! He's a little more strict than I am since he's a body builder and is in [...]

Tea Time!

Tea Time!

Work has been SO busy lately! I have all these ideas swirling around in my head that I need to get onto paper (or should I say post)! If you follow me on Instagram (bottom right of this page) you know I kind of kicked coffee to the curb! GASP. I've always loved Tea, but [...]

My “Honest” Review For A Natural Home

My “Honest” Review For A Natural Home

Homemade Squash Soup

Homemade Squash Soup

My wonderful soon-to-be-sister dropped off some beautiful, fresh squash! Sitting on my counter for probably over a week, I decided I had to do SOMETHING with them before they go bad. I've never cut or cooked with whole squash before so this was new to me. With some research I learned how to properly cut [...]
