Do you want to know one of reasons I started this blog? It was to inspire people. To let them know that cooking can still be fun, that you can always learn, that you should be excited to make your dinner! It makes me incredibly happy to see people talking about my recipes, but also their own, and inspired to get…
So you may be thinking, what do nachos have to do with a bed and breakfast? But think again! The B&B here stands for Beef and Bean nachos, as in grass-fed ground beef and fiber-filled pinto beans! Pile those nutritious ingredients on top of bean chips, almond cheese, and tomatoes, all topped off with spinach, cilantro, and lime? My kind…
Hey there! I’m bringing you another lower-carb pasta alternative today, and this one is SO STINKIN GOOD. You know why? Because there’s CHEESE! It’s something that I don’t honestly use a lot of. You may find it here and there in recipes, but we became so accustomed to a dairy-free diet after both my fiance and I discovered we were…
Ok, so right now I’m making a lot of salads. Honestly, sometimes it’s just too hot for anything else! You will probably see at least one a week for the remainder of the summer, just so I have something light and refreshing on the menu. But that doesn’t mean it’s lacking on flavor! For this BBQ salad, I want you…
Ta-ta-ta-TA! Say what?! There’s finally a new menu and grocery list up? Yes sirs (and madams!) you heard right! I know it’s been awhile in the making but I’m happy to announce a new menu that sums up the past 5 recipes that I’ve posted. Now what I want you to do is visit the recipes, and first, PRINT THEM.…
Hello again! How is your week going so far? Is it busy, full of tasks and to-dos, or are you enjoying a more care-free summer right now? I hope that either way, you are enjoying it to the fullest! 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!…
This was a sad week for any Game of Thrones fans out there. My Sunday felt just a little bit more empty now that the season is over. But c’mon, that was a pretty good finale last week! We even had to go back to our room in VEGAS and watch the finale because we were too excited about it.…
