Fancy Fairy Herb Garden
I am a terrible blogger! Ok, not terrible at the actual blogging. I am terrible at blogging consistently. It is what it is. Life is crazy. I have great ideas to write about all the time, just no time to write. Right now, it’s summer and we have been super busy. I know: excuses, excuses! …
Easy Weeknight Air Fryer Pork Chops
Real quick. Popping in with a quick dinner remedy for busy weeknights. It’s been busy lately. Let me rephrase. Busy is an understatement. Overwhelming is more fitting. Wow. Nursing school is a lot. It’s so much info, so fast! And the expectations are extremely high, as they should be. So far, so good when it …

Happy Fall! What do you do when it’s rainy and gloomy outside, and you have a bunch of delicious butternut squash? Make soup! This is going to be a fall tradition in my house. My garden was a bust this year, but a friend had an excess amount of squash and gifted me a bunch! …

My little Ocean Oasis in the Midwest
Good morning Peeps, and happy belated Easter! See what I did there? I am at work, I have just over an hour left before I can go home and get a few winks in. I am done with all the schoolwork I am able to do for the moment. I have a quiz left to …
Grandma L’s Hawaiian Chicken
This afternoon I had the pleasure of spending time with my grandmother. I really enjoy our conversations. We have always been close and able to easily just chat away. I am very fortunate to have spent as much time as I have with my grandparents. They have been very present throughout my whole life. My …
Feel Good Italian Winter Pot Pie with Shrimp, Kale and Sausage.
While I am typing away, my husband is contently laying on the couch with a full, satisfied belly. We are both still enjoying the savory aroma from tonight’s dinner. My tastebuds are thanking me. This is one you need to try. I think it might be my new favorite soup. Well, it started as soup …
