Football Sundays + Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken
This post was sponsored by McCormick as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. A family tradition I cherish from my childhood is Football Sundays. My Mom and her sisters would take turns hosting Football Sundays where we'd gather for food, family time, and sports on television. Over the years, as the kids grew up and became busy with lives of our own, our tradition became nothing but a memory. This past August my younger cousin suddenly passed away ...
My Daily Struggle
Ever since I took the step to focus on blogging seriously as a career, I realized how absolutely insecure I am when it comes to this business.

It's a rainy Friday here in Connecticut - something we are all used to (and over). There are rumors September 2018 marks the rainiest month in CT in a very long time and I'd have to agree with that sentiment.

In other news, I'm sharing my Friday Favorites for the Home (and you!) and I bet you're going to want to buy at least ONE of these with the discounts included. Our Home Watercolor ...
Roasted Butternut Squash and Spinach Pasta
The best meals are made by accident. While Brandon was traveling I had a craving for butternut squash and spaghetti, so I whipped up a dish that turned out to be one of my favorites. Roasted Butternut Squash and Spinach Pasta is easy to make and absolutely delicious, especially on a chilly fall evening. Cutting up a butternut squash can be intimidating, so check your stores for pre-cubed squash in the vegetable aisle. I found a beautiful container of pre-cubed squash at our grocery store. ...
