Panera Bread’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup Copycat Recipe

If there’s one thing Ryan and I talk about constantly, it’s how much we miss certain “American” foods. Things like Chipotle bowls, Buffalo sauce, Hershey’s products, and Diner food are all topics of conversation that come up at least once a day in our house. And by “once a day” I really mean like 50 times a day. What can I say…we’re fat kids at heart! Another food item that we found ourselves craving quite often …

The Perfect Dessert For The 4th Of July

Well, guys, we are now less than 1 week away from the 4th of July! The 4th has always been one of my all-time favorite holidays. Maybe it’s the fireworks, maybe it’s the never-ending supply of burgers, yummy snacks, and desserts, or maybe it’s the time spent at afternoon barbeques with friends and family. Whatever the reason may be, I have always adored this particular holiday! Since leaving the States, we obviously haven’t been able to celebrate …

He has left such a big pawprint on our hearts and he has really made us into a family. Therefore, we felt that he should get to celebrate his birthday with his very own treat- doggie cupcakes! …

Best Banana Bread Recipe

This post contains affiliate links. This bread is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S (in my Gwen Stefani voice). Seriously, this may be the best banana bread recipe that I have tried! And when it comes to bread, I never mess around. I love this recipe so much because it makes a perfectly moist bread and it is fairly easy to whip up. As long as you have a few ripe bananas lying around, I would bet money that …

Taco Pasta Recipe

This post contains affiliate links. Happy Monday friends! When I sit down to plan our meals for the upcoming week (more on this in my last post), I always ask Ryan if he has any dinner requests. I kid you not, 9 times out of 10 his answer will be, “Let’s have tacos!”. While I will NEVER complain about having tacos (duh, they’re the best), I usually try to find alternative ways for us to …

Best Breakfast Smoothie

This post contains affiliate links. Chocolate and peanut butter for breakfast? Can I get an “amen”?! I have been on the hunt for a yummy and nutritious breakfast smoothie for quite some time now. For those of you who do not know, I have a pretty severe allergy to many fruits and vegetables. Therefore, finding a smoothie that is healthy but also delicious has been a big challenge for me. If you’re anything like me, …
