You know how you have those weeks that seem like a blur because so much happened? I had one of those weeks – the days at this point have just become one big gigantic blobby blur and it would seem that I had another week where I didn’t do a lot of cooking – probably because it wasn’t a normal week for us and we ended up eating a lot of “convenience” food, which isn’t my favorite, but it is, well…convenient. …

Hi! I’m Eden, and I am so excited to share a post with you! I am ten years old, and second oldest of my three siblings. Ever since I started reading Cupcake Diaries (my new favorite book series) by Coco Simon, I feel like I’ve been bitten by the baking bug. Mostly I’ve wanted to bake cupcakes.

Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Blue Cheese Mayo
These tangy, tasty buffalo chicken burgers are a serious taste explosion – just make sure you’ve got enough mayo to go around! This post originally appeared on Catz in October of 2014.

For us, these easy Chicken Enchiladas are classic, one of few recipes we still make from our first year of marriage…you’ll be hooked, too!

Weekly Menu for the Week of July 8
Hello, hello! I hope you all had a great Fourth of July weekend! I tell ya, we were exhausted Thursday evening! Celebrating our country is serious business!
I’m not sure what happened last week, but I didn’t do any cooking, except for Tuesday night when I made breakfast for dinner…well, technically, Grace made breakfast for dinner. It’s nice to have a teen who enjoys cooking, let me tell you that!
We finally got the landscaping barked over the weekend and it was so nice because the kids helped while Ruby napped and then Josh and I went out on our date night and enjoyed Happy Hour at Manzana (for you local peeps) and let me just tell you that the Citrus Honey BBQ Chicken Wings are so good, as is the Santa Fe Cornbread. Let me put it this way…I didn’t want to share with Josh!
Chicken wings are one thing we want to experiment with making more of, yum!…
