Kind of a weird topic for this month’s Friday Favorites post, but while grocery shopping in our new town, I realized how much I missed about Walmart while living in NYC! Lol - it’s true!! There were a few things in particular that while maybe available in NYC, we struggled to find them, so needless to say, Walmart brings me so much joy these days!!
Read MoreQuick post tonight! We tried a recipe for Strawberry Slaw this evening and LOVED it! Glad we have leftovers because I’m excited to eat it again tomorrow as part of my lunch!! I love finding cooler side dishes for summer nights and this one is perfect! It’s relatively quick (especially with a few shortcuts) and requires simple ingredients.
Read MoreAnother summer treat! This time, I wanted to give smores bars a try with gluten free graham crackers and my favorite gluten free flour! I added a little twist to the recipe which resulted in fluffier bars than expected but we’ll get to that. Check out my recap of this recipe modification.
Read MoreDoes cooking salmon intimidate you? I used to be very intimidated by the thought of cooking salmon. For the longest time, I would only prepare it in ways that could be baked in the oven. Growing up, I don’t remember us eating much salmon and I rarely recall us cooking fish on the stove so it was a big deal when I became more comfortable trying stovetop recipes. But it shouldn’t be intimidating because it’s simple! Here’s my easy recipe for fool-proof seared salmon!
Read MoreI love finding a new veggie side dish that’s easy and delicious because it makes me 10 times more likely to eat more veggies!! We recently tried this Summer Squash Casserole with a minor modification and it is definitely a dish we’ll be cooking again. Check out my recap for our experience with this recipe modification.
Read MoreAnyone else a sucker for basically anything in a graham cracker crust?? 🙋♀️ Baking a gluten free key lime pie is one of the activities on my unofficial summer bucket list and this week I finally checked it off! I took a shortcut though, when I came across this gluten free pre-made graham cracker pie crust at the grocery!
Read MoreA new recipe for you all!! And it’s a skillet meal! It feels like forever since I created a new dish and this is a fun one because you can really change it up to fit your family’s preferences! I was inspired by a ground turkey recipe my sister-in-law recently shared with me. Turkey is a no-go for us because of my husband’s poultry allergy but I liked the overall concept and was initally going to just swap out the ground turkey for beef and share another modification blog post about making a recipe work for your particular situation, BUT I ended up creating something entirely different and decided to write my own recipe to share with you guys!!
Read MoreInterrupting the moving tips blog series for Sundae Funday. Okay so we didn’t actually order “sundaes” but we enjoyed ice cream on a Sunday during Ice Cream Month! This afternoon we visited with our extended family here in Rock Hill. We are SO EXCITED to have family in town! It was a blast having lunch together and later checking out a local ice cream shop. P W’s Gourmet Ice Cream is a classic walk-up ice cream stand with an extensive ice cream menu including shakes, concretes, sundaes and cones.
Read MoreWe are loving the balcony life!! It is so nice to have a little area of our own to enjoy the outdoors. That’s one thing we wished we had in NYC and it was a definite perk in picking this apartment. Darrell picked up dinner from a local eatery, Southern Salads and Sandwich Company. This was our first time checking out their restaurant and one that I think we will definitely order from again soon!
