He told me to cook so I cooked. You guys know me by now. IF I cook it’s gotta be pretty simple and healthy. Salads are my jam for this reason, but not just any salad. I jazz them up something good! Sharing my easy summer spicy cobb salad recipe with you all today. This is the PERFECT summer lunch, dinner or make it BIG and serve at your next BBQ! It tastes as good as it looks!
I usually would wait another week to put this post out but I’m getting busy and figure it’ll give us mama’s a bit more time to shop. Time to start thinking about the Dad’s. It’s their month and today I have 14 perfect gift ideas in my 2021 Father’s Day gift guide to share with ya! Think I covered all interests too — at least I tried!
Let me first start out with saying how proud I am of our Summer for making her First Holy Communion this past weekend. She looked radiant and seeing her innocence is something I will never forget. Such a beautiful day surrounded by friends and family who love her dearly. If you follow me on Instagram then you may have caught my stories recapping this beautiful day. BUT if you missed it no worries. Sharing all of the backyard Communion party details in great depth for today’s post. The theme, the vendors, the decor, the food and everything else that made the day what it was.

Thank you to #GreenGiant for sponsoring today’s post. As always, all statements and opinions are my own.
She’s 8. Almost 9. AND it’s STILL a struggle to get this kid to have some variety in her meals. Am I the only one? I swear we went from baby food right to chicken nuggets and French fries. That’s been Summer’s go to meal for the past how many years. Today I’m partnering with Green Giant®on our weekly ShopRite run and sharing our recent kitchen discovery. Green Giant®Veggie Fries®and Veggie Rings®has made meal time less stressful and a lot more delicious in our household!
It’s nothing new around here that I love ShopRite. You can read about my love story with ShopRite in this post. It’s been my go to grocery store since my parents were pushing me in the shopping cart. Then I graduated to riding the back of the cart. Now I’m pushing my own kid in the shopping cart. It’s also nothing new around here that I’m not the best cook in the house. Erik takes that role on very seriously. While he might be the one to cook most meals I do carry my own weight in the kitchen and whip up some fast, tasty and easy meals. Excited to bring you my ShopRite 5 and share with you what to buy at ShopRite this month. Warning — these 5 items are perfect for the advanced cook, mediocre cook or the I really don’t love to cook but I can make a solid meal (ahem that’s me)!
