Tangy Chicken, Roasted Potato Bake, & Morning Walks

It's getting dark outside people! Yesterday was the first morning that I realized how much the sunrise and sunset times are starting to change. My morning walk with Peanut was barely lit at all. Peanut definitely gets a little spooked in the dark. We would walk by a house when their sprinkler system would turn… Continue reading Tangy Chicken, Roasted Potato Bake, & Morning Walks

I was in the mood for something sweet  on Saturday afternoon when I came across a recipe on Pinterest by O to the No. I loved that I had everything… Continue reading Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
