I know I have mentioned this before, but I love experimenting with spicy or hot recipes. Growing up, we always had very basic flavoring. It was delicious, but my mom just doesn’t do spicy. Bryan and I love it though, so I decided it was time to make my Creamy Baked Mac and Cheese with a…
How did you all spend the holiday weekend? We were busy soaking in the sun. Friday was spent out in the ‘burbs at my parents’ pool with our best friend, 2 sisters, brother-in-law and 2 nieces. Then Saturday, we had friends come over to our place to spend time outside in the courtyard. It was…
This post includes affiliate links with Amazon. I have always been a huge reader! Reading is my escape, the way I clear my head, and the way I recenter myself. I love getting lost in a good mystery, or a romantic love story, an adventure through the jungle, and even a funny autobiography. This love…
Sharing a 30 minute or less meal today – Teriyaki Chicken with Vegetable Fried Rice Sometimes, I get comments about recipes not being super “healthy” or completely from scratch, so I just want to put this out there – I have never claimed them to be.

We love shrimp tacos! We used to get them all the time at one of our favorite local restaurants called Gaslight Grill, but it has been shut down since last fall to relocate. It was torture until I realized I could just make shrimp tacos at home. Not sure why I didn’t come to this…
My nieces love to be crafty, but it can hard for all of us to come up with kid friendly ideas for them to make. Joann craft store had a painted t-shirt hanging up in the store, and D really liked it. It seemed like the perfect project to let her conquer. Bonus, she was…
After being away from home for a week and eating out so much, I was excited to get home and have some home-cooked meals. I didn’t want to go grocery shopping though. No thank you! So I started digging around in the cabinets and fridge to see what we had on hand, and I came…
I am sorry things have been so quiet around here lately. On a day to day basis, this blog and other aspects of The Love Nerds are so important. But sometimes, things happen that cause work to be the very last priority. For me, it was losing my grandma. Wasn’t she beautiful? My grandma had…
