Monday - Crockpot Carnitas Rice Bowls. We've gotten a carnitas roast from Aldi a few times before and it is SO good and so easy. You just toss it all in the crockpot and cook like a normal roast. I'll make rice and a side of black beans when I get home from school and … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.

Your Favorite Cookbooks.

August 8, 2022August 8, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ Leave a comment

A few months ago, I put a little question box on Instagram and asked for cookbook suggestions from you guys. I'd like to build up my little cookbook collection, but I'd rather not have cookbooks sitting on my shelf that I don't use. I knew you guys would have the best suggestions, and wow. You … Continue reading Your Favorite Cookbooks.

January 13, 2022January 22, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ 2 Comments

Pizza night begins on Thursday night for me. After the boys are in bed, the house is cleaned up, the dishes are being whirred clean in the dishwasher, the laundry is tumbling, but generally just before I step into the shower, a little reminder goes off on my phone. *MAKE PIZZA DOUGH*. Yelling at me … Continue reading Pizza Friday. (And Our Favorite Pizza Dough Recipe)

The Best Green Beans I’ve Ever Made.

We throw … Continue reading The Best Green Beans I’ve Ever Made.
