Apparently fat really doesn’t make us fat after all?? Sugar does? Says this guy. He’s adopted a keto diet over the past year and most of his calories come from fat. And somehow he isn’t blowing up… (This picture makes me so happy. Rhode Island in summer!) I love to cook chicken because it’s economical and I really enjoy eating it. But Brenden doesn’t like it much. Something about it not being “fatty” enough? Well the other day I had a whole chicken...

I’ve been trying to write this post for a week now. Life has been crazy with these littles. CraYzee. (I chose this calm picture because it’s the exact opposite of how it’s been around here lately.) 🙂 I’ve been contemplating some big family changes that have my mind spinning on hyper-drive. I hope I’ll start to feel normal again soon? Probably not. I have a feeling I’m about to embark on a journey of weirdness and “non-normalness” like none other. Which has me...

Good old Crock-Pot meals… I can be having a haaaale of a week and if I have dinner cooking in the slow-cooker I feel like I can (possibly) hold it all together.

I came home from running errands and put an entire load of freshly washed laundry BACK into the washer....

Yet another slow-cooker pork recipe to add to my arsenal! Praise the easy recipe gods. And this might be my favorite yet. I had high hopes for this recipe for a few reasons. One being that it called for enchilada sauce. That just spelled “comfort food” to me. And let me tell you, it does not disappoint in this category. This pulled pork can (and should!) be served over everything from baked potatoes to big fat rolls to corn tortillas. And...

Can I just tell you how much I love trying a new crockpot meal? Especially pork? 1) If we love them, I have yet another easy meal to add to my list of go-tos. 2) I love seeing Brenden happy, and it seems he’s happiest eating PORK. 3) Slow-cooker recipes usually have lots of leftovers, and leftovers are my best friend. This is a style of pork I’ve never even heard of before! It’s a traditional Mexican slow-roasted pork that is...
