How to Make Authentic Argentinian Chimichurri Sauce

Jun 11 All Ages

Everyone has their own recipe for Chimichurri sauce, but this one is just like how they make it in Argentina.

I want to share a short and savory recipe with you today, hailing from Argentina: Chimichurri Sauce. Since my husband is from Argentina, he obviously loves his Argentine cuisine. I think it’s funny when people think he eats tacos or spicy food. Just FYI, Mexico is a good 3,100+ miles from Argentina (as the crow flies). ArgentineContinue Reading..

Transitioning Your Child to a Toddler Bed

Jun 6 Uncategorized

You can move your child to a toddler bed as early as you think they are ready. Here are some great tips to help ease the transition, even at a young age!

The Purpose of a Will

May 23 Uncategorized

A will is important to have in place at whatever age or income level you are at. You need to protect your family and your assets.

It’s high time my husband and I put together a will. I think I’ve said I was going to write one over a dozen times, but I’ve never taken the time to actually do it. I know it’s majorly important if one or both of us dies, but it’s just a matter of actually sittingContinue Reading..

Leftover Ingredients: Red Cabbage

Ever bought some red cabbage for a recipe and then just let it sit in your fridge until it went bad? I have! Let's stop doing that and use it up with these great recipes!
