Jalapeno Cheddar Squash Casserole

If you’re like every other gardener that I know, you’ve got an abundance of squash going on right now. If you’re like us, you’ve yet to harvest a single squash from your plants! Not sure what we’re doing wrong, but we’ve had TONS of cucumbers (which I don’t like) and a big fat ZERO squash. […]

Cinnamon Vanilla Paleo Coffee Creamer

Since we’ve restarted Whole30, my husband’s only real complaint has been his coffee.

Y’all. This week has been utterly exhausting, both physically and emotionally. It’s hard to believe that one week ago I was landing at IAH after a week on a mission trip in Kenya. We had just a few hours to collect our kids from my parents (as well as the groceries they brought for us, bless them) and get to […]
