#shayeveryday2014 Week 25
Day 169: Andrea and Kensington are both “dress girls”, so Kensington was thrilled when Andrea brought her over a new dress. She wanted me to take a picture of her in it and send it to Miss Andrea :). Day…
Tortellini Pasta Salad
This is like the perfect little recipe. It’s light enough to be a yummy summer supper, it’s fabulous for lunches (you can whip up a big batch and eat on it all week) and it’s great as a side too….
Fifty Two Shades of Shay: Having 2 babies…and loving it.

Red, White and Blue Rice Krispies Treats
My kids and I love making Rice Krispies Treats together. They’re simple, they’re fast, they don’t require the oven and they’re a blank canvas for almost any occasion. For our summer holidays, we decided to make our treats red, white…

I just love a Caprese Salad. You know…basil, fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. I love the salad so much that I decided to make a burger that tastes like one. Honestly, this burger was just about as simple as a boring…

One of our favorite little methods is my Bisquick Chicken Parm. Andrew could seriously eat it once or twice a week. I have mixed and matched it before into Maple Crusted Chicken and that was seriously delish too…so the other…
