Homemade Nutty Granola Bars: My Diary of Us

Homemade Nutty Granola Bars

Happy day after Labor Day guys!  How was your weekend?  I hope you did the opposite of labor and got to relax with your family and friends!  Canean was out of town for a couple of days and I started binge watching Friday Night Lights on Netflix, which I had no idea was going to suck me in like it did!  I also had a fabulous brunch Sunday morning with a girlfriend before picking the hubs up from the airport!  Yesterday, we lounged around, walked the dogs, and ate big juicy cheeseburgers for dinner!  Needless to say, we are both in need of some healthy for the rest of the week!  I love having snacks like my homemade nutty granola bars on hand for weeks just like these!  

They are sweet and salty, but completely good for you!

Woodland Nursery: My Diary of Us

Nursery Reveal

With only 5 weeks and 5 days left until our little boy's arrival, my mom came into town last weekend to help me finish up all of the last details in the nursery. We washed tiny clothes, hung wall decor, and got everything just right for the arrival of baby boy Chatagnier.  I have been so excited to show you the nursery reveal because it truly has become my favorite room in the house!

I knew from the beginning that I wanted a nursery that felt calm, he would be able to grow into, and that was rustic with a modern feel.

Grilled Pineapple and Shrimp Skewers: My Diary of Us

Grilled Pineapple and Shrimp Skewers

We have a few weeks left of summer and I am taking full advantage in the kitchen.  I'm whipping up light and healthy meals that I can grill up for a fast dinner almost every night of the week right now.  With kids back at school and vacations officially over for the year, schedules are getting busier and busier and no one has the time to worry about dinner.  My grilled pineapple and shrimp skewers are super healthy and fast and you can feel great about feeding them to your entire family.

Fig and Melon Salad with Prosciutto: My Diary of Us

Fig and Melon Salad with Prosciutto

There's only a month left of summer and there is a little part of me that is panicking.  What will I do without my favorite fruits like berries, peaches, melons, and figs?  I am just not sure I am ready to give them up.  I mean I love apples and grapes, but they don't speak to my soul in the way that summer fruits do.  I am however ready for a relief in the heat and all things pumpkin and cozy, but until then you can find me making dishes like my fig and melon salad with prosciutto and savoring the last days of the their season.

Homemade Flaky Biscuits with Lavender Honey Butter: My Diary of Us

Homemade Flaky Biscuits with Lavender Honey Butter

Growing up in the South, biscuits are considered a breakfast essential in most family households. Still to this day, when I take a bite of a homemade biscuit, I feel a sense of nostalgia and cooking in the kitchen with my mom covered in flour.  Because if you are making your biscuits from scratch, you should be covered in flour...it goes with the territory.  So when King Arthur Flour asked me to be a part of their Better Biscuit Campaign, how was I supposed to say no?  Of course I said yes and debated long and hard about what kind of biscuit I wanted to make you.  When it came down to it, I had to go traditional, because to me there is nothing better than a perfectly baked warm biscuit slathered in something yummy.  These homemade flaky biscuits with lavender honey butter are going to rock your world in so many ways and I can't wait for you to try them out.
