We all have the capacity to create our own happiness. Whether you’re busy or not, a quick, easy recipe is always…
Happy Monday everyone! I want to apologize for falling a little behind here. You see, I’m trying to find a good way to balance this blog into my life. It’s something that I’m extremely passionate about, but I’m also finding that I don’t have all the time I wish I had to work on it. And other things are falling…
Hey there! I hope that you’ve had a wonderful start to your week? Is it just me or does time feel like it’s just FLYING by lately? I can’t believe it! Great news is that I finally made a Facebook Page today to accompany my blog- find it here. I would love to see you interact with me on there,…
Hey there! Ok, so I know I’ve made jambalaya before (find the recipe on instagram @thesamanthaelaine), but I’m here to say I think I love gumbo more. Trust me, ask me 5 years ago and I probably would have looked at you like you were crazy. Okra was not something I had ever tried before. But now, I love it!…
Good evening! I hope that you’ve enjoyed this week as much as I have! I truly love adding content and excitement to this website! Today I wanted to do something for a very good friend of mine, who has been requesting this recipe for awhile now. And I mean, c’mon, why wouldn’t she? This miso soup takes what your local…
Good morning! I was exhausted last night- my toddler has decided that 2:00 and 4:00 am are perfect times to wake up Mom and ask for a smoothie. So, I fell asleep early and didn’t get to post the recipe! But here it is, in all it’s glory, because it’s #CROCKPOTWEDNESDAY!! I love having something easy for dinner, that’s hot…

There’s something so rewarding about a seared New York Strip, covered in a decadent, roasted garlic butter. And this butter is made even more rich with smooth, creamy goat cheese. Pair everything with rosemary roasted potatoes and a…
Hello everyone and Happy Father’s Day to all you Dad’s out there! I hope your day is absolutely wonderful and spent with the ones you love. The recipe for Monday evening is a nice, easy one to make, but absolutely delicious- Teriyaki Pineapple Mahi-Mahi Burgers! The prep work is pretty much done for you, which is awesome, and then we…
Um, anybody else excited that it’s Friday? I know it can’t just be me! It’s the end of the week; time to relax, rest, and recuperate. And by this time I usually come down with a case of the F its, and I don’t want to do a damn thing. So an easy dinner with very little thought is RIGHT…
Ok so I know that zucchini noodles are “all the rage” right now, and they should be! They are AWESOME! Even my toddler loves them, especially when I use them to make Turkey Meatballs and Zucchini Noodles. So why do I love zucchini noodles so much? They are: Easy to make if you have the right tool- a spiralizer. A…
