I am always looking for a new easy weeknight meal idea to make for my family and I have to say this salad has become our go-to these past few weeks. We made it a bunch over the holidays on the days we were trying to eat healthy, and sure enough I’ve been craving it in January! I feel like it has such a yummy combo of ingredients and with the dressing, it honestly tastes like one of those $15 restaurant salads! So crave-worthy but good of you!
I always get questions about people asking me how I find the time to cook but I honestly love it. I always have. Cooking for me is a major outlet and it’s something I really look forward to doing. Nowadays I do try to find easier recipes because it can be challenging in the evenings with Augustine and Corinna. Some times I’m prepping veggies during naptime, or even the night before, but ideally I’d have an hour each night where I could just cook, drink a glass of wine, and listen to some Italian Cooking music. Yep, that might be one of my happy places! A benefit of loving to cook is that I have a family that loves to eat. Augustine eats whatever we eat {he’s the least picky eater ever!}, so we really can get creative with our meals. I tried out a lot of new recipes this year and most were pretty darn good. I thought I would narrow down a list of my favorite recipes from last year to share with you in case you’re searching for some dinner inspiration! Would love to know if you’ve made any favorites recently too!
My little guy is THREE!! How can it be?! Ok that rhymed but we’re definitely in rhyming territory around here. So much has happened in the past three years so I won’t say the time has flown by {we moved, did some renovations, I was pregnant which felt like it lasted a long long time, and then of course Corinna joined the mix}. Nevertheless, it does seem like just yesterday that I was lying at home with my little bitty Augustine smelling his newborn head that smelled like brown sugar and cinnamon. Watching him grow over these past three years, and especially over this past year, has been such a joy. This little boy definitely has my heart! I wanted to share a little 3 year update for him so I can always remember this fun and precious stage! I’m also sharing some of his favorite toys that he’s been loving lately.
