Haaaaappy Friday!
Boy oh boy am I all thrown off after having Monday off from work and the blog. Mark and I went one of his favorite places on earth: IKEA. I love looking at the kitchen gear, and Mark loves looking at…pretty much everything else. It’s super fun to just go there and mozy along the furniture-filled maze that is an IKEA store.
After we spent a good 2 hours at IKEA, we drove to one of my favorite places on earth: Trader Joe’s.Read More
I’m just going to throw it out there: food is SO much more delicious when eaten from a bowl.

However as I’m writing this, the last of the snow is melting off of the roof.

[Welcome to recipe #2 of Oat Week – Easter Edition! This post is sponsored by my wonderful friends over at Bob’s Red Mill – we’re using their Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats for this Lemon Chia Seed Granola!]
Hey, friends! If you recall, Mark and I brought a little one into our family a couple of months ago.
And by “little one”, I mean a tiny little calico kitten named Maya.
At times, it feels like we’re living with two completely different cats. Sometimes we’ll have calm, sweet Maya, who stretches out against our leg, turns on her back, and lets us scratch her stomach as she gently falls asleep. (This is happening as I’m writing this, and I’m dying)
And other times, we’ll have welts on our hands, bites on our feet, and a cat in “time-out.”Read More
I am so excited about this recipe I could cry.
You see, Easter is one of my favorite times of the year. I mean, first of all, coconut eggs. Second of all, peanut butter eggs.
BUT! My favorite part about this time of year? Easter Bread.Read More

[Welcome to Oat Week – Valentine’s Day Edition! This post is sponsored by my wonderful friends over at Bob’s Red Mill – we’re using their Gluten Free Oat Flour for these Healthy Peanut Butter Hearts!]
Not to get all mushy on your guys, because, seriously, been there/done that, but unlike every other year of my 23 years of living, I’m seriously looking forward to Valentines Day this year! Because unlike every other year of my 23 years of living, I actually have a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day!
Now, I’m not saying that you have to have a S.O. in your life in order to enjoy Valentine’s Day, but the first year you get to spend the most love-infested day of the year with your main-squeeze is kinda totally ridiculously exciting.
