Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
I love summer vacations. Mathlete and I got to go to California for a week in July and it was amazing. We were visiting wine country so there was lots of wine tasting and TONS of amazing food. I definitely did not focus on eating paleo at all. I just ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.

You guys…I have seriously fallen in love with tacos. But, not traditional tacos with the crunch shell. Sure, those are good too but I’ve been using naan for my “shells” and it has been a total game changer for me. Now, I am excited for Taco Tuesday each and every week. Last week, we had chicken bacon mango tacos and OH YUM!

Happy Friday! I hope you are having a great week. It certainly feels like August is flying by. Today, we celebrate my son’s birthday. Tomorrow, we have both birthday parties for my kids. It is always a busy weekend but so much fun. What have you been up to this August?

I am having such a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that school starts in just a few short weeks. I’ve been working my way through the school supply list which has me running all over town getting the exact right items from the list. Thankfully, as I plan for back to school lunches, I know I can simply stop at Giant Eagle to get all the items I need to make delicious lunch items like peanut butter and fruit kabobs!

I recently partnered with The J.M. Smucker Company to share with you one of their newest products that I am so excited about as a sweets lover and a Girl Scout Mom. While this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Do you love Girl Scout cookies? I definitely do. Being the “cookie mom” for our troop means I get to see the dates ahead of time and get my taste buds ready for all the delicious cookies. But, there is always a period after we’ve eaten all of ours that I want more. I guess I am not alone because NEW Pillsbury™ Girl Scout Cookie™ were created to satisfy our cravings until the next cookie order date comes around. Of course, the best thing to pair with a cookie is a caramel coconut milkshake!

Birthday party season is here which means tons of sweets and little treats for our household. My kids recently discovered Marshmallow Fruity Pebbles and they want to eat the cereal all times of the day. Even though Fruity Pebbles cereal has been around since 1970, the marshmallow version is new and quickly becoming popular. My kids love it so I decided to make a yummy treat for them using the cereal. It is still so hot outside though so I didn’t want to turn on the oven. Instead, I made no bake cheesecake bars.

Summer vegetables are some of my absolute favorites. From zucchini to corn, you can’t beat the summer vegetables that show up at the farmer’s market or in the store. I was getting ready for our block party over the weekend and the hardest decision I was deciding what to make because all the vegetables just looked so good. Summer corn recipes are definitely at the top of my list right now so I thought I would share a few great ones that I found while searching around for something to take to the block party.

One of our favorite things to do when we have a small group of friends over is have a make your own pizza night. We’ve done homemade pizza crust and some pre-made pizza crust as well. Recently, I’ve gotten into using naan or flatbread for pizza crusts and it is just so easy. Last time, I made a fajita ranch pizza that may be new favorite.

Howdy from California wine country! We’ve spent the last few days working out way through parts of Napa and Sonoma on our way to Sacramento for the International Food Blogger’s Conference. We’ve been treated to so many delicious wines and amazing food. I know the conference holds even more for me too. For now, let’s time travel back to when I shared these delicious strawberry prosecco cake pops.
