The other evening we hosted a Friendsgiving party and it was THE MOST fun! It was way easier than we ever anticipated so we wanted to share our tidbits and secrets with you this season! There are lots that go into this but it makes it all worth it once you have your friends and […]

The spaghetti squash boat – a family fave around the Awtrey household. It’s the simple, super cheap and “healthy” version of your typical spaghetti dish. It’s also a great meal if you live by yourself, or one other person because it makes two simple portions so easily! I like this low-carb meal and often result […]

    Banana bread with a spread of Irish Butter is my most recent craving in the morning. With Thomas loving smoothies and asking me to buy a bunch (literally) of bananas every grocery trip, we’re left with a few bananas left over that go bad. I’ve found a few ways to make sure they […]

4. It’s gluten free + dairy free SO if you’re on a diet or need these restrictions (or even if not) it’s a yummy yummy option!
5. It takes 15 minutes until dinner is on the table

It’s no secret that Birmingham is a foodie’s dream location. I say that you could eat every meal at a different location for an entire year and still not discover all of the yummy restaurants and foods around this beautiful place I call “home.” As good as breakfasts, lunches and dinners are I’m all about sweet […]
