As school gets closer and closer – it gets me to thinking about freezer meals. I think what I love about freezer meals is that you do what you can when you can and you make your own rules. If you don’t want to do 10 meals at once. Don’t! I tend to make a…

Dilly Pretzel Sticks
This recipe is special to me because Connor brought it home from school one day. He had a friend that would bring these pretzel sticks to school for snack and he liked them so much that he asked his friend to ask his Mom for the recipe. He brought it home on a sticky note…
Blueberry Muffins Trick
Hi there! Do you love blueberry muffins but feel like there just aren’t enough blueberries? I do. Emily is my little fruit eater and loves them too. This isn’t a recipe as much as a fun little trick to add some freshness to your muffins when you see blueberries on sale for 4 for $10. …
Freezer Meal – Chicken Pot Pie Starter

Ranch Cracker Mix
Here’s an easy snack that kids can help make. There’s something about baking the crackers to crispy goodness in my own house and tasting it while it’s still warm that makes me a happy girl. We made this when we took out the camper for the weekend and it was the perfect thing to snack…
Walking Tacos!
I’ve had walking tacos pinned on my Outdoorsy Girl board on Pinterest for a long time now and we’ve finally tried it! They were just as tasty as I hoped and super fun because everyone got to pick what they wanted to add to theirs. We had these for lunch after a morning of outdoor…
Fun Twist on Smores
I’ve seen posts on pinterest about using fudge striped cookies as the graham cracker and chocolate for smores and wanted to give them a try. We tried it over the weekend and they were quite tasty. The first night my husband wouldn’t taste it. He said that the original way was great and no sense…
