This weekend I did something I never thought I’d do. I cooked an ENTIRE MONTH OF MEALS! That’s right. It’s insane I know, but I did it. I did it with the help of my friend Amy and the inspiration of two amazing women I recently had the pleasure to become friends with — Courtney [...]

It’s Monday and that means it’s time for MOUTHWATERING MONDAY! If there is one thing I can’t get enough of in the winter it’s soup. Here’s a recipe for a baked potato soup I made this past Friday.

Alright, here we go. My first real menu plan and my first time participating in Organizing Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday.
