Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Homemade Coleslaw
Can I confess something… I have never made homemade coleslaw before! It is one of those things I would just pick up from the grocery store and never thought to make myself. Well, today was the day we (my husband and I) decided we would follow a new recipe we discovered that calls for coleslaw and when he said “let’s just buy some” the adventurer inside of me came out and said “no, let’s try to make our own.” Boy, am I glad it did because folks, this just might be the best coleslaw recipe you’ve come across! Who knew it could have so many flavors and not…

A Southern Dish: Shrimp and Grits
This recipe comes from the talented Bobby Flay but we did tweak it a bit. I absolutely love Southern food and grits is right up there as my top favorite foods! I grew up eating grits with eggs and bacon and love when I find them served here in southern California restaurants, which unfortunately isn’t very often. We made this in under 45 minutes – but this if prep and cooking time. And throw in 2 minutes to eat it! Just kidding. But it really is so good it is hard to refrain from eating too quickly. Here is what you’ll need: 4 cups of water salt and…

Recipe :: Shrimp Boil in Foil
This shrimp boil in foil is a new recipe we tried out this weekend and I absolutely love it so had to share with you all! My husband found it on Tasteful Adventure and this no-mess dish is amazing! It takes like 20 minutes to bake in the oven or barbecue (our option) and there is not big mess to clean up! This makes a great dish to make at a party or Sunday night with the family. What’s not to love?! Seafood, potatoes, corn on the cob, andouille sausage and my favorite seafood cajun seasoning sprinkled all over it. It is one of my favorite dishes we’ve made! Ingredients…

Smurfs: The Lost Village Party, Craft and Recipe Ideas
This past week we had a chance to host a Smurfs-inspired party in anticipation of the Smurfs: The Lost Village Blu-ray and DVD release beginning of July! Be sure to check it out and host your own Family Movie Night! I love simple yet cute additions that are easy for us busy moms to put together. The mushroom tic-tac-toe game we created that was inspired by the Smurfs mushrooms and was super easy and you only need a few items. The vanilla bean cupcakes are seriously the best ones I’ve made! I do believe the addition of real vanilla bean is the trick. Vanilla Bean Cupcake Recipe This…

Fun Summer Ideas for Families-On-The-Go
Summer is here! We officially kicked off summer break last Friday night with a game of volleyball between some moms at school and our respective kids! And let me tell you, the moms were pretty darn serious about winning! It was hysterical! Some of the activities our family enjoys over the summer break include hiking, nature walks, spending time at the pool, trips to the beach, Newport Back Bay, Balboa Island, and mini-day trips. What are some of the things your family likes to do over the summer? One of the things about parenting that to be honest, did come learned the hard way, was that I need…
