Little Miss Personality + {Hawaiian BBQ Sliders}

Most of you have never met my daughter, lovingly referred to as "Babycakes" on this blog. But if you did, you would a) be surprised at how well she can speak -- it is like having a conversation with a little adult, b) be enamoured by her sweetness and genuine concern for others, c) be impressed by the variety of foods she'll put into her mouth and actually swallow (and dare I say, enjoy), d) be shocked at how many times she asks "why?" -- not to be annoying, just because she is genuinely curious and interested in discovering how her environment works and e) wonder where ...

Insanity Workout + {Asian Layered Salad}

Confession time:                       I HATE WORKING OUT. There, I said it!!  I always like how I feel afterwards, but the before and during always suck. That being said, structure is good for me...which is why I've started the 3 month "Insanity" workout program.  Dear Hubby bought it a year or two ago thinking that we would do it together, but we only lasted about 2 weeks because it hurt his knees/joints too much. ...

I Love Spring + {Bird's Nest Cookies}

Spring was ushered in this week by a blizzard in Denver; though it was much less of an event here in the mountains, ironically.  I don't know about you, but I am a HUGE fan of Spring. I love the longer days. I love the sunlight. I love the snowmelt. I love the flowers. I love the birds chirping. ... Read more » about I Love Spring + {Bird's Nest Cookies}

The Big Reveal: {Nosh & Nourish}

I am sooooo excited to share this news with you: I am rebranding/renaming my blog "Nosh and Nourish."  Before you freak out, let me explain.  :)  I have been blogging for over a year now and have grown, changed and evolved in both my writing and photography as well as my recipe creation.  I am quite happy with the current site as far as layout, content, and overall format...but something wasn't sitting well with me with the name any longer.  Sugar isn't my only focus. ...

Smiles + {Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Bread}

This past weekend was all about my little girl and making as many smiles happen as humanly possible. #priorities #nonewblogpostonMonday  We hiked. We lowered the temp on the hottub and splashed around as a family. We fed peanuts to squirrels. We ate fish tacos with my inlaws. We swang at the park. And we accomplished nothing. And it was perfect... and needed.

Oh, and we ate chocolate-y peanut butter bread. ... Read more » about Smiles + {Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Bread}

Beach Vacation + {Lime & Avocado Ceviche}

Dear Hubby and I don't vacation much. I think because we just don't like spending the money! During our eight years of marriage, we have been on 2 "big" vacations - one was our 5th anniversary where we went on a week long fly-fishing adventure in Montana. We stayed at this cute cabin B&B right on the river, and spent our days fishing, hiking, and exploring. ... Read more » about Beach Vacation + {Lime & Avocado Ceviche}

Healthy Substitutions + {Veggie Fried Quinoa}

I am now in the habit of making healthy substitutions for my family. If I can keep a similar taste but include better-for-us ingredients, then I'm all in!! Some recent examples include my healthy key lime pie, my double-decker tacos, and my Zuppa Toscana. And with my father-in-law's recent heart attack, Dear Hubby has been even more willing to try new things in the name of better health.  I haven't changed everything all at once, but am slowing making over some of our favorite dishes. ...
