Quick and easy meals in a flash:

As a busy home-school momma I try to meal plan and stick to it but of course life happens and inevitably interruptions tend to come and upend even the best laid plans. So, I like to have an arsenal of recipes to pull from in a flash that are not only quick, easy to put together, delicious, healthy and I keep several comfort food type meals in my list too. I will add to this list periodically or when I find an amazing new recipe that I think you all will love and that your kiddos will love too because lets be honest, if our kiddos won't eat it we usually don't end up making it right?!😉

If you have a yummy list of your family faves I'd love for you to share the wealth with the rest of us! I'd love to glean from your baking/cooking insights, tips and tricks and look forward to sharing our recipes together friends 😀

Happy cooking!

Touring the Plantations of Charleston, part I: Drayton Hall

One of our main hopes while we visited Charleston was to visit & tour some of the stunning southern plantations in the area. While we were in Charleston we managed to visit 4 out of 5 plantations that are in close proximity of the city. Join me as I take us on a tour of Drayton Hall, Middleton Place, Magnolia Plantation and Boone Hall Plantation. We will stroll down history lane, as I share my favorite parts of each plantation, a little brief history of each, recommendations of what to see first, time to arrive at each plantation & best day/time to visit them. To get started one of the first things to consider is which plantations you'd like to visit and the amount you are comfortable spending & then decide what time of year you plan to visit. You'll need to figure out how many plantations you plan to visit during your vacation and how you'd like to fit your tours into your schedule. *I'd also suggest planning to start your day(s) bright and early to allow...

The best Instagram-worthy murals in Savannah

Howdy friends, I'm so glad your here! Join me while we check out some of the awesome murals in Savannah Georgia. If you're anything like me you love art, a good mural & finding the best, most unique ones in a large city. On my recent travels to Savannah Georgia I scoped out a plethora of murals that I know you're going to love. Check out several of my favorites below and be sure to like, save and follow along for more murals, hidden gems and travel insights from around several of the USA's top cities. One of our absolute favorites was the: Welcome to Savannah mural located on: 611 West Oglethorp Avenue (Shown in photo above). It is on the back side of the Thunderbird Hotel and easily accessible. It just so happened that the parking garage we found was just a block away & as an added bonus it was on our way towards the historic River Street. Another one of my faves and a must stop for any Pepsi fan is the: Pepsi Loves Savannah mural lo...

Easy, Cafe Yumm style Rice Bowls

Today I'm going to share one of my family's favorite weeknight meals with you, our version of a cafe' yumm bowl. It is a very simple recipe that can be altered to cater to even the most picky eaters and easily adjust for everyone's various health needs. Of course ours includes rice, we prefer to use long grain brown rice or jasmine rice but it can be made with any type of rice or quinoa. I'm sure it could be made with tofu as well or another substitute for rice that you prefer. I always like to make a big batch of rice in my favorite small kitchen appliance, my instant pot. *Friends if you don't have one of these babies yet you are missing out!! IMHO ;) For our family of 4 I like to make 4 or 5 cups of rice (that usually leaves me with plenty of leftovers that can be used in another meal later in the week and for lunch the next day). After my rice is cooked I empty it from my I.P. and mix in my previously cooked/shredded chicken (I like to make mine in my I.P...
