Thai Peanut Chicken Ramen - Winter Meal

The cold snap has hit us hard, we are trying desperately to stay warm and comfortable.

Egg Roll in a Bowl

We love Asian-inspired dishes. We try to incorporate a lot of Asian-inspired and Mexican-inspired dishes because those are the two cuisines we love the most. This means we eat them a lot too, which means things can get stale and boring. So we try to find new recipes to keep our meals fresh and fun. This month we are flooded with lots of extra things to do, but we also have the benefit of a few extra days off together as a family thanks to the holidays. We love to cook, but since we are usually so busy we don't...

Simple Meals: Slow Cooker Honey Teriyaki Chicken

Slow cooker meals make a busy parent's day so much easier. I love having a meal planned without the hassle of having to do a lot of work after coming home from a long day.

Spring brings out the nicer weather and the longer days, both at work and at our kids extracurricular activities. So we try to plan ahead for meals during this...
