Chicken & Rice Soup

September 29, 2022 Leave a Comment

We made it to soup season y’all! And by “we” I mean technically it is fall for all of us. But those of you who live in the south like me know it’s still 20 million degrees outside. Insert me crying and screaming because I hate being hot. The cheat code for being able to eat soup like the lucky people in 50 degree weather is making it cold inside your house. You can cuddle up in blankets, eat comfort food, and be happy like me. This homemade Chicken & Rice soup legit feels like a warm hug on a crisp fall day. And it’s simple directions with simple ingredients which means anyone can make this soup fav.

Tortellini Sausage & Veggies

September 22, 2022 Leave a Comment

Getting back into the swing of blogging means back to the recipes! Specifically the easy to make but full of flavor recipes like this Tortellini Sausage & Veggies dish. September through December tends to be much busier months for everyone collectively. Whether it’s having children in school, the holiday season, work life picking up, there never seems to be enough time in the day. One life hack I’ve learned since balancing adult life responsibilities is how to make dinner quick and easy. Whether it easy quick meals like this one or the perfect freezable meals to thaw at dinner time. When dinner figured out everything else seems to get a little bit easier for the evening.

Jamieson Family Summer 2022

September 10, 2022 Leave a Comment

Hello everyone! Hopefully summer 2022 has been as kind to you as it has to the Jamieson family. Most of you know I usually take a little break from the internet world to reconnect in the real world during the summer. I don’t post as often on the blog or social media because it’s the one time of year I get to unplug with my girls. Especially Jordyn since school schedules can be exhausting during the school year. The Jamieson Family summer 2022 was truly a summer full of fun, love, and much needed rest!
