The Ultimate Italian Sub Salad

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BaronessPatches #CollectiveBias

Being a mom sometimes means being super woman it seems.  There just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything we are "supposed" to be doing.  Between keeping up with a toddler whose mood changes from one second to the next, running errands, getting my work done, and trying to find a moment that I can have to myself, I'd be lying if I said dinner didn't sneak up on me from time to time!  This just adds to the crazy that is motherhood which is why I make my life a little easier and keep Red Baron pizzas in the freezer for hectic days where I need an easy dinner!  I like to whip up the ultimate Italian sub salad to pair along with a couple of pizzas for a quick and tasty meal the whole family will devour!

Delicious Homemade Nashville Hot Chicken

This week has been a dreary one guys.  Rain every day and also forecasted for the foreseeable future!  Whomp whomp.  I just couldn't live in a place without lots of sunshine because I would eat all the things and take way too many naps!  This kind of weather makes me crave comfort food of all varieties and since I grew up in Tennessee, a serious comfort food for me is homemade fried chicken!  That's why you have to try my delicious homemade Nashville hot chicken anytime you are craving something comforting, a little decadent, and utterly mouth watering!

Easy Yogurt Bark (Three Ways)

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #HorizonLunch #CollectiveBias

I cannot believe that summer is coming to an end and school is already back in session in some states!  Here in Texas it is just starting back and I know that snacks are one of the most important things to have on hand when kiddos get home from school and are starving!  Having healthy snack options ready to go and that are easy to whip up are so important in our household, because otherwise Parks will end up eating something that maybe isn't the best for him when the hangry hour hits!  My easy yogurt bark is the perfect snack to keep prepared in the freezer to fill up little bellies with something that is nutritious and that tastes great too!

Finding Little Wins with ZonePerfect®

This shop has been compensated by CollectiveBias, Inc. on behalf of its advertiser, ZonePerfect. #MyLittleWins #CollectiveBias

As a working mom my days are packed full.   I am always looking for ways to get more done in a days time all the while staying healthy and taking care of myself.  Between running after a very active toddler, being a wife, and blogging, there isn't much time for much else.  I am lucky if I have a day where I can sit down for lunch or where I can eat a decent breakfast, but I always make sure that I carve out time to exercise daily and prepare a few healthy snacks to help me power through the day!  One of those snacks happens to be ZonePerfect® and by having one of these high protein bars in my bag at all times, I feel like I can accomplish Little Wins™ every day!

Peach Dreamsicle Pops with Goat Cheese and Thyme

Back to school might be right around the corner, but that doesn't mean summer (or it's temperatures) are going anywhere anytime soon!  We have totally been surviving by playing in the sprinkler every afternoon and eating as many popsicles as we possibly can!  My favorite childhood popsicle flavor has to be a dreamsicle because it basically has ice cream in the middle which combines the best of both worlds.  My peach dreamsicle pops with goat cheese and thyme are a delicious twist on a summertime classic and you have to try them out!

Frozen Strawberry Basil Mules

Man it's hottttt in Texas these days!  Today, the temperature is supposed to go up to 99...and that's not even the heat index, which is almost always a good ten degrees higher than that!  You simply have to be near a body of water to go outdoors, or in our case playing in a sprinkler, otherwise you can't bear the heat.  The other way I am surviving this summer is by whipping up frozen cocktails and drinking them like they are water and you are totally welcome to join in on the fun too!  My frozen strawberry basil mules are so easy and are absolutely necessary in getting us through the last months of this scorching heat!
