Lately, I've been sticking to my go-to meals (like Red Beans and Rice and Cottage Pie) since holiday schedules have been rather hectic, When I have made something new, I've completely forgotten to grab pictures of it. We tried this fabulous Slow Cooker Chicken Curry that I really wish I would've snapped pictures of because we loved it. When I make it again, I'll be sure to share.

I don't know what it is, but for some reason I have the hardest time finding gifts for friends and family. I feel like once the holidays roll around, I can't seem to find anything they'd like for within the budget we allotted for each other. That's why I rely heavily on "gift guides".

I'm a firm believer of waiting until after Thanksgiving to begin decorating for Christmas and listening to holiday music.

I can have Tex-Mex food all day every day. I ADORE it. Really, I prefer the chip baskets the best, but tacos, enchiladas, queso: you name it, I love it. The problem: it so high in calories, saturated fat, and grease! Ugh.. sad.
