Dump dinners and spring are the best combination. Any easy recipe that gives me more time to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air (though it’s still a bit chilly) is a good option! The days are getting longer, and my patience in the kitchen is getting shorter. Game plan: Come home from work, toss […]

You can never have too many cheap and easy casserole recipes in your wheelhouse (aka your recipe book). They make for the best weeknight dinners as well as potluck-pleasers. They’re so simple to throw together that, even if I’ve had a long and tiring day at work, I always have enough energy to whip up […]
A vintage tea cup filled with tea and topped with a custom sewn fabric coaster makes a great gift for a sweet friend. I love to buy lonely tea cups at the thrift store. You can often find really pretty ones that have lost their saucer that would make great DIY teacup crafts. Same goes […]
