Turkey Lettuce Wraps with Cucumber Salad

I love me some lettuce wraps. They are quick, easy and pack a shit ton of flavor. I have been experimenting with a few different recipes over the years in hopes to find the perfect combination of sauces, veggies and meats and FINALLY landed one that fits the bill. I came across SkinnyKitchen’s version of lettuce wraps that tasted very similar to P.F.Chang’s. Minus the gazillion calories..score! I added a few tweaks and they came out incredible. Now, I like to eat, and so does my husband, we were left a little hungry about an hour later so the 2nd…

Easy Shrimp Scampi

Posted by Amanda in June, Recipes

While visiting my very pregnant sister, I felt bad letting her do any work what so ever. I tried to do everything I could to give her a break while I was there. I remember being pregnant and how much I hated every second of it…the swollen feet, not being able to shave my legs or even seeing my feet for that matter and the utter exhaustion that never seemed to leave. There were more, but I’ll spare you guys a pity party. Well, to get where she is just add twins + a 15 month old toddler to the…

Easy Tips For Traveling With A Toddler

Posted by Amanda in June

Last summer we took our first family trip to New York with our 5 month old. And it was absolute hell. Crying, screaming, fussing – you name it, she did it. For 3 long hours! There were looks, whispers and rolling of the eyes as the other passengers on the plane watched me and my husband struggle to calm her down. It scarred me from traveling with her for almost a year. I finally decided to bite the bullet and visit my sister in Boston. This meant traveling ALONE with a toddler. Stricken with fear of repeating the past trip,…
