One day last year at TJ Maxx (my favorite store), I came upon this absolutely BEAUTIFUL 15 inch cast iron skillet. It was $29.99 and I couldn’t pass it up. The price and the size made it so hard to walk away from. This pan normally goes for upwards of $70. A couple of weeksRead more
My Simple Superhero Paleo Chili is probably my go-to meal when I don’t have a lot of time or a lot of money to spend on groceries. It can feed The Mister and I for a few days and we can eat it a couple of different ways. The other day I had just enough forRead more
Thanksgiving is coming! It’s coming really fast. Around the Galvan house, we take our holidays very seriously. The Mister brines a couple of turkey’s every Thanksgiving, and I doubt that this year will be any different.

If you’ve been a reader for awhile then you know that Fall is my very favorite season! For the past three years I’ve always done a blog about Fall of some sort. I started decorating for fall at the end of August because to me, Fall begins when school starts after a long summer vacation.Read more
For the past week I have been on a lovely vacation. This is kind of a long post but totally worth scrolling through 😀 It started with a burger & nachos at Chris Madrid’s in San Antonio: Some of our friends recommended this place and it was a WIN! Then a LOVELY Fiesta Wedding:Read more
I haven’t had Hamburger Helper in quite some time but I have to tell you that as a child, it was one of my favorite things to make. As an adult, thinking about the stuff from the box kind of makes me want to gag but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t thought about pickingRead more
