I’ve been bit by some ravenous holiday beast. It’s even more intense than usual, and I’m so excited to start decking the halls.

Pumpkin Cranberry Energy Bars
Best cure for a case of the Moan-days? A trip to the park to feed the ducks 🙂 Even better with pumpkin cranberry energy bars for a snack (recipe below!). I headed to the gym early this morning to get in a water treadmill run for the first time. Per an awesome suggestion, I wrapped…

Black forest Paleo brownies
There’s this dessert I’ll often make when we have a squadron function. It’s super easy, looks pretty, and tastes amazing.

The Best Pasta Salad You Will Ever Have in Your Entire Life
It’s a bold statement, but this truly is the best pasta salad ever. We went to our little cousin’s birthday party last weekend, and while it was a blast to hang out with the fam, swim with Livi and hear her sing “Happy Birthday,” the star of my heart was a pasta salad. Not just any…

Healthy and hearty chili
Ok, not really… it’s still shorts and tank weather. But it’s always a good day for a huge bowl of chili and chips. Yesterday afternoon, Livi and I didn’t have anything going on, and I figured the weather was too nice to stay inside. We called Kyle and Meg to see what they were up…

Sweet potato chicken salad
For having a husband who flies planes for a living, I don’t really love flying. I see it as a necessary evil, and while I don’t have full-blown panic attacks or anything like that, it’s not my favorite thing. With every sound I’m convinced that something will happen, and each flight usually involves at least…
