I don’t know about you all, but I always love seeing what other people are eating. It helps inspire me to try new things, reminds me of hidden gems, or just prompts me to add items to our grocery list. And, since most of my camera roll tends to be food, I figured this would be a quick and easy…
For those of you that don’t know, my handsome husband turned 30 earlier this week. How wild is that?? I’m married to a 30-year-old! I was wildly unprepared for a pandemic birthday last year. So much so that Gary had to open his presents in leftover penguin holiday paper. Needless to say, I wasn’t going to let Gary have another…
Since we indulged in my favorite Animal Style Fries recipe last week, I figured I should share something a bit healthier this week! For the longest time, green beans were our go-to veggie side dish. And don’t get me wrong, we still eat our fair share of green beans, but once Brussels sprouts entered our rotation, they quickly became a…
In case you missed it, I teased a fun new recipe, in my Trader Joe’s Food Finds – March 2021 post and I just couldn’t wait more than a few days to share it with you all. The minute I saw Magnifisauce in the store, my wheels started turning about recreating In-N-Out animal-style fries. Now, I want to claim that…
It’s time for one of my favorite posts of the month, where I get to share about all my fun Trader Joe’s food finds! Per usual, before I go into detail about the new items I got this month, I need to give you all an update about some of the goodies from my Trader Joe’s Food Finds – February…
On this day last year, I experienced what working in an office felt like for the last time. Ever since I came home from work that day, I’ve been here. All. The. Time. With the exception of medically necessary appointments, grocery shopping (every 3-4 weeks), picking up takeout orders, and spending time away from other humans in the great outdoors,…
I mentioned that Israeli couscous was one of my favorite Trader Joe’s food finds in the month of December, and several of you caught on to me teasing a yummy lemon couscous recipe. Well, the wait is over! Before the year 2020, I’d probably only ever had couscous two times in my entire life. Then, one of our sweet friends…
Food waste is a contentious topic in the Peiffer household. Who would have thought?? I am uber cautious about throwing items away after they’ve reached their expiration date. I live by the motto, “when in doubt, throw it out!” Makes sense for a girl whose biggest fear in life is throwing up! Gary, on the other hand, will eat anything…
We don’t tend to be huge soup eaters in the Peiffer household, probably because it never feels cold enough in Santa Barbara for it. But, when we do commit to the soup route, we are definitely team thick and hearty! Potato leek soup checks both the thick and hearty boxes, without tons of heavy cream or added fat. It’s also…
