This week we returned from our little mini-vacation to discover we didn’t have much food on hand. Freezer meal to the rescue! We doubled the recipe on prep day, so we have another waiting for us at some point… one batch makes quite a bit though! Pin for later…

Gluten Free Baked Spaghetti {Freezer Meal}
Spaghetti has been a longtime favorite in our house, so when we started planning this round of freezer meals I knew I wanted to try a baked spaghetti that could be easily frozen and reheated. I think it turned out pretty darn good! Classic baked spaghetti with beef and…
Gluten Free Crock Pot Beef Stew
We’ve been getting back into the art of freezer meal prep lately, and decided to revive an old beef stew recipe we had on hand. This can be thrown into a pot to simmer on the stove if you want it ready sooner, a crock pot to cook all day,…
Gluten Free Easy Fried Rice
We’ve always enjoyed the occasional fried rice at restaurants over the years, so we figured it was probably time to try and make some ourselves! Wes put together pretty simple recipe and whipped it together in no time. This would make a great side, or could be a stand-alone meal….
Baked Honey Glazed Chicken Legs
Chicken drumsticks are such an affordable and delicious meal option, so we have been trying out a variety of different ways to prepare them! BBQ or plain ‘ol salt & pepper are always a great way to go, but this time we opted to try a honey and garlic glaze….
Gluten Free Crock Pot Taco Meatloaf

Getting Closer: The Countertops Are Here!
Throughout the renovation process we’ve worked hard to keep the costs minimal wherever we could, so initially we didn’t think granite would be a possibility. However, my grandparents told us about a granite supplier out of a town near Chicago they had used in the past with very reasonable prices….
Our Laminate Floor Installation
When it came time to choose a flooring for our main living space, Home Depot had a “special” flooring in stock: a gorgeous laminate from TrafficMASATER in Saratoga Hickory for only $.99/sq.ft. {They’ve since started stocking it regularly so they must have had a lot of success selling it!} This…
Time for Tile: Durock Prep, Installation, and Grout
When it came time for the tile work in our bathrooms and laundry room, we had done a lot of research and felt confident in our ability to attempt it ourselves. We were also blessed to be able to use my parents’ leftover tile from another project, which was enough…
