Wow, is it really already December 31st? I feel like New Year’s Eve came so incredibly quickly this year! Some of you may be ready to celebrate, but if you are like me I am just now finishing up putting away all of the amazing things the kids received for Christmas! In the craziness of trying to catch up I definitely forgot to pick up an outfit to wear out for the evening of New Year’s Eve! I rounded up some of my favorite party dresses that could be worn not only for New Year’s Eve but also any night out. Enjoy the eye candy as I have. 1. Shine Bright Like a Diamond…

Chicken and Broccoli Mac and Cheese
As Christmas season comes to a close and New Years is just around the corner, craziness continues to ensue at our house. However, I am always excited to slow down to make a nice warm dinner for myself, the Mr., and the kids.

Easy Green Beans
Green beans are a favorite side dish of mine for every holiday, season, and event. It is a food that always makes an appearance in some form whether it is in a casserole, is steamed, or mixed with a vinaigrette.

In the end the green beans still have a slight crispness to them with a wonderful aromatic flavor that keeps you wanting to eat more. And the kids?…

Rolos, Hugs, and Kisses Pretzel Cookies
Ready for an oldie but goodie? You know, those recipes that you almost forget about because you are so busy trying to plan your next new and exciting Pinterest recipe that you ignore the tried and true cookies? The cookies that you just can’t stop eating? That’s the pretzel cookies for me, specifically the Rolos, Hugs, and Kisses pretzel cookies. Super inexpensive, so easy, a combination of sweet and salty, and only takes a handful of minutes to make. The best part is how these little goodies taste. No matter how large of a batch we make, they always run out very quickly. I went with three different kinds of pretzel cookies with this batch: Rolos,…
