Crunchy Choco-PB (CCPB) Dates

Crunchy Choco-PB (CCPB) Dates

These dates are salty and sweet, crunchy and chewy, and the perfect bite-size treat! Easily make them paleo by swapping the peanut butter for almond butter if that’s your jam! To me, peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in heaven. That’s why I 

Freezer Breakfast Burritos

Freezer Breakfast Burritos

A serious craving I have been having this pregnancy? Burritos. Really any and all kind of Mexican food, but burritos just sound soooo good, all the time. Even just bean and cheese burritos. Ugh. My husband makes the best refried beans from my Instant Pot 

New Year’s Day Pozole

New Year’s Day Pozole

New Year’s Day 2021 marks my third year of making Pozole! This tradition started because of the fact my husband, for at least a decade, traditionally ate Menudo on the first day of the year. I can’t stand Menudo, so our compromise was Pozole. I

I’m Back…

I have started a blog probably 4 or 5 times in my life thus far. I get a hair up my butt and am motivated for about two months and then, nada. I do the work– I design a site, I buy a domain, etc 

Not For Nothing

Not For Nothing

All throughout my adult life, I have had a blog. So, for the past 10ish years or so, I have been writing sporadically and sending my thoughts and what not out into the big black void called the internet. My biggest fan always has been,
