just our day to day life
Our fridge was more empty this week than it has been in a very long time…perhaps ever. It wasn’t as dire as it sounds, because we could have made it work for another week or so, and if you count the cupboards and freezers, we …
On one of my last grocery shopping trips before Marlowe was born, I grabbed a few packages of kielbasa and smoked sausages because they are easy. Luckily these are good in the fridge for awhile, because I kind of forgot about them. I was flipping …
We almost always have AmyLu Apple and Gouda Chicken Sausages in our fridge or freezer from Costco. They are so good…gluten free, few ingredients, nitrate-free, easy to prepare (i.e. fully cooked), and did I mention that they have gouda in them? Sold. They come in …

Casserole recipes never look very appealing for photos….. The other night we had some extra chicken breasts in the fridge that needed used up, along with an extra pack of corn tortillas, so enchiladas was a no-brainer (plus it wasn’t very hot outside, so it …
A few weeks ago when we didn’t have any plans for dinner, we decided on grilled cheese (which has been our fallback lately). We’ve been trying to keep a loaf of gluten-free bread in the fridge or freezer so I can have toast or grilled …
