Fresh Orange Julius
When summer time comes around I always want to eat a lot more fruit. I don’t if its the weather or the bigger variety of fresh fruit available. But I just crave it. Lately in the evening Nate and I have been making smoothies or milk shakes (without ice cream) to quench our need for a […]
Chocolate Chip Recipe Round Up
May 15, 2013 is National Chocolate Chip Day – that’s today! Chocolate chips are one of my favorite things just to snack on, but they are also one of the best ingredients to add to any baked goodie; cookies, pancakes, muffins and more. In honor of National Chocolate Chip Day we are sharing 15 of […]
Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
I’ve got another delicious cookie recipe for you today. A buttery flaky shortbread cookie with chocolate chips. Just so you know, short bread cookies aren’t my favorite type of cookie, they are good but most of the time I’d rather have a traditional soft and gooey chocolate chip cookie instead. But as far as short […]
Siegfried’s Delicatessen
Its no secret that I love German things. I love the language, the food (especially the candy), the countries and more. So ever since I heard of Siegfried’s Delicatessen in Salt Lake City I have been wanting to go. I heard only great reviews on the food, and I could only hope that there would […]
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies
So I am on week 10 of training for a half marathon. It’s funny because my mother in law was the one who said we should all train at the same time even if we couldn’t run it together (due to living in different states and such) but she injured her knee and hasn’t been […]
Quinoa Burrito Bowls
I’ve found that the best way to keep myself motivated is by making lists. Whether its a list of long term goals to accomplish or a simple check list of day to day things I need to accomplish. Nate and I decided that by the end of the summer we want to look back and […]

Meal Planning
No matter how much I try to follow all 9 of these tips on how to save money on groceries, I have noticed that the most efficient way for me to actually save each month is through meal planning. Planning out our meals each week, or even a rough plan for the month allows me […]
Cranberry, Almond and Spinach Salad w/ Poppy Seed Dressing
One of the best things about living in Utah is living near so much family. Of course there are family member that still live very far away from us But we love that there are some family members that are just about an hour drive from our home. Nate’s brother and his fiance both live […]

Peanut Butter Caramel Popcorn
Yesterday during some down time at work I decided to browse instagram for a few minutes. One of my favorite bloggers shared a picture of some peanut butter caramel corn and I knew that was a snack I had to make right away. I also had a half can of sweetened condensed milk left in […]
Cream Cheese Danish
After making our new recipe index with a page for each category, I realized (even more than I knew already) that the recipes I make are a little lopsided for certain categories. A lot of desserts and a lot of chicken. Although this recipe could technically be considered a dessert (and I ate it like […]
Spinach Dip
One of our favorite places to “shop” is Costco. How is it that when you go to Costco with the plan to buy 1 thing, you end up buying way more than that and spending way too much money? Okay, in all honesty, since we started watching our budget and trying to save more we […]
Kitchen Cabinet Update
Once Nate and I get an idea in our head we usually just go forward with it very quickly, without too much thought. Like getting a dog, and a cat, and now painting our cabinets. Luckily we have been very happy with the outcomes of those 3 decisions. Our kitchen cabinets were white and plain. […]
