Nachos are a sports bar staple. And for good reason, they are delicious and great for sharing! But you don’t need a sports bar to get a big tray of nachos, make them at home and share them with the masses! The thing I love most about nachos are the toppings. And the…
Football season is the best, but let’s be honest, it’s not because I love sitting on the couch for 8 hours a day watching games. I’m 100% in it for the eats. I can become a fan of just about anything if there are copious amounts of finger foods involved. And even though my alma…
Structured. Routine. Habitual. Those are words I would use to describe my personality. Throughout my adult life, it has become increasingly evident to me that I’m the type of person who works best on a schedule. Partially because I’m somewhat of an obsessive personality & partially because I know that routine = consistency, and consistency…
Going from an “average” (or worse) lifestyle to a “healthy” one doesn’t happen overnight. After all, what is a healthy lifestyle anyway? Who is truly qualified to tell me that I should be eating more greens or that my thighs gap isn’t big enough? In my opinion, we need to be having more conversations with…
It’s hard to believe that just last week I was grasping onto summer like my life depended on it. However, a recent trip home to Iowa caused me to do a 180: the second I drew in my first breath of chilled morning air, those summer dreams of sunshine and long days were replaced with…
Just in Time for September Whole30! This Whole30 Compliant Huevos Rancheros Crustless Quiche is my new favorite.

Comfort food is the greatest, am I right? I grew up in a very small town in Central Iowa, just 45 minutes NE of Des Moines. I moved out of Iowa right out of college (over 10 years ago) but I still get a little nostalgic on my trips back home. Like most people, I…
This summer has flown by, and I’m a little disappointed. It always seems that we have high expectations for the summer months but time goes by too quickly. Don’t get me wrong, we did a lot this summer – most importantly, adding Winnie (our puppy) to our family. But with August just days away, I’m…
A few weeks ago, Will and I went to a concert in Denver and met up with some friends for dinner and drinks before the show. I’m not usually one to order a salad at a restaurant, but when I see brussel sprout anything on a menu – it draws me in. (Side note: I…
My family loves chinese buffets. Okay, I wouldn’t say we LOVE them, but we definitely do the “this is bad, but do you guys want to go to the Chinese buffet” exercise and no one refuses the request. Usually, it happens when my mom, my sister & I are out for a day of shopping….
