- How to care for your cutting boards.
- Maxwell’s baseball team is playing in a few early tournaments this year and the first one is this weekend. It seems early to get into baseball mode, but we are excited.
- Who are you cheering for, Patriots or Seahawks?
- Stromboli, pizza sliders, or nachos. You can’t go wrong.

- On the blog this week, a recipe to use up brown bananas, a great game day recipe, an easy dip, and a sweet and salty no-bake treat!
- Today is my 44th birthday! Celebrate with me by having a piece of cake or a cookie! I might have both:)
- There is a new season of Lincoln Lawyer out today on Netflix. I love that show!
- Adding this to my skincare routine and I love this new lipstick.
- Sparkly necklace and earrings! Both are on sale!
- What Super Bowl snacks are you most excited for? I highly recommend our soft pretzel bites, best bean dip, cheesy artichoke dip…and guacamole is always a MUST!
- Cute cardigan and fun sneakers!
- The perfect t-shirt bra…and this is such a pretty set for Valentine’s day (top and bottom).
- I’m dying over these biscuits!
- I love dates with peanut butter, a couple of chocolate chips, and flaky sea salt for an easy treat…but have you tried dates with a sprinkle of cinnamon? Simple, but SO good! And if you are a date fan, try my healthy date shake or date clusters…YUM!
Happy birthday Maria! (And go Hawks!)
