kale salad with tart cherries and pine nuts
I kind of can't believe I haven't shared this salad with y'all yet. Given my affinity for kale salads. And tart cherries (I loooooooove them, y'all). And pine nuts. And goat cheese. Seriously, it's like a Kirstin's Favorite Things salad grand slam. This salad not a Whole30 compliant (because of …
fish tacos with mango salsa
This is another really good fish recipe for non-fish lovers. The mango salsa really makes the dish, so don't forget to make that as well!

more freezer crockpot recipes
Well, friends, I am pretty excited about today's post. Mostly, I'm excited that I finally got another round of Freezer Crockpot Cooking finished (you might remember that freezer cooking and make-ahead meals have been absolutely revolutionary for this busy mama). I love making dinners for our family, …
winter whites tutorial and recipe round up
I can't believe Winter Whites is a wrap (say that five times fast). Fingers crossed that the lo-ong and drawn out month of February will go fly by just as quickly... Let's take a look back at all the beautiful projects that were shared. There were some yummy recipes: (Top to bottom, left to …
