If I'm on the hunt for a new snack (healthy or otherwise) I always head to Trader Joe's. They are always putting out fun seasonal flavors and more often than not, are delicious. Oh and the placements. They get you just when you think you can get out

The Launch of Taste Test Tuesdays

July 13, 2021 by lindsaylcallaway |

I've wanted to launch a series to keep things streamlined on specific days. Compartmentalizing is just sort of how my brain will function lately! Given the importance of food in my life, I came up with taste test Tuesdays. The parameters may evolve

Healthier Banana Bread

July 9, 2021 by lindsaylcallaway |

I know, I know, another banana bread recipe?! There's millions out there! But I have to share because they check the boxes for my high standards as a chef and as a mom. What makes these healthier? Well, for one, it uses coconut sugar which has been a

We had a couple and their kids over for brunch the other day and I was reminded how nice it is to serve a meal for company that isn't dinner. It was a welcomed switch up from our normal get togethers! My friend Emily and I were having a mimosa and

Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa

May 2, 2021 by lindsaylcallaway |

Beef barbacoa in the slow cooker. I always prefer to slow cook these types of things in the oven because the liquid reduces and flavors concentrate, but the convenience of a slow cooker is immeasurable. It also makes this very weeknight friendly and

Taste Test Tuesday: @theskinnybutcher chicken dipp Taste Test Tuesday: @theskinnybutcher chicken dippers -with bbq sauce

These were not what I was expecting but I was pleasantly surprised! I immediately thought it was a great snack for a kiddo before that weird activity time.. too early for dinner but ends too late not to eat before. I also thought of a new mom who doesn’t have time to feed herself while feeding her baby! But also, anyone who needs a high protein snack at the ready. 

I’ll be buying these again and would try their other options too!

Have you tried these?

Egg Bites Series Part THREE ✨ Today I tried @appl Egg Bites Series Part THREE ✨

Today I tried @applegate and @wholefoods 365 brand. 

I loved the amount of bacon in the one from Applegate and found the texture light and airy but the edges were a little rubbery from microwaving. I’m sure air frying would be better for these but I’m trying to keep consistency in the heating process!

The 365 brand reminded me of the Costco version. Iconically the bacon flavor was really nice, even without pieces of bacon! 

Still at #1 remains @3pigspate 🏆🥇

What else should I try?!

11 years of celebrating our anniversary at the pla 11 years of celebrating our anniversary at the place where it all began 🤍

Every year feels a little more nostalgic as we get to tell our growing boys about the day we got married. We start at the sign for our annual photo, then head inside for champagne (kiddie cocktails for the boys, of course 🥂), before walking out to the courtyard to relive the ceremony.

The boys love watching the river, and every year I’m reminded all over again what a perfect venue we chose—not just for our wedding, but for this tradition we’ve created as a family.

Feeling extra grateful for the life we’ve built and so blessed that our boys get to be part of these memories with us. Here’s to continuing this little tradition for many, many years to come. 🤍
Egg Bites Series Part TWO ✨ I ordered these @3pig Egg Bites Series Part TWO ✨

I ordered these @3pigspate egg bites from @misfitsmarket and we were so impressed! 

The texture was delightful and the bacon flavor was definitely the star. While I wish it had more bacon, I thought the overall bite was top notch . 👌🏼

We still have many to work through but this one quickly rose to the number 1 spot! 🥇
