During the week it allows me to get some work done. On the weekend, it allows my husband and I to lazily read the SundayContinue reading “Caramelized Apple Crepes”

Burrito Night
On Sunday night we decided to have burrito night! We found a pork shoulder in our freezer, I know that sounds odd, but we hadn’t cleaned out the freezer in a while.

Sweet Potato Chips

It was so easy to make these chips and they came out soContinue reading “Sweet Potato Chips”

Chicken Lettuce Wraps
We did it again… On Sunday night, in celebration of the first Sunday of the football season we made appetizers for dinner…my favorite! We made our delicious hot spinach artichoke dip and then, for something a little lighter, we made chicken lettuce wraps. We had never made them before, but they came out great. TheContinue reading “Chicken Lettuce Wraps”
