Join me in congratulating Pinterest on the birth of its new baby – these dark chocolate salted caramel pretzel brownies! This recipe has all the right elements to go far on Pinterest. The photo says it all – extra points for caramel drips, mounds of fudge-like chocolate, and adorable mini pretzels.

The process of cooking — that by which raw ingredients are transformed into deliciousness — may technically happen only after the oven heats up, or the pan on the stove gets hot, but it really begins before that. It starts the moment you walk into your kitchen and decide to cook something.
Before you pour a little oil into the pan and turn on the stove, stop. Do these five things first, and your cooking session will certainly be less stressful and way more enjoyable. (Seriously — I have started cooking before these things were in place, and I can attest to my stress levels. I wish better things for you.)

California residents, including chefs, have to get creative with their water conservation efforts. While most restaurants have switched to only serving water if a diner asks for it, the chef at a restaurant in the Big Sur area has tackled the water issues with another, even more creative approach.
The Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes http://ift.tt/1dwqK6hYour free printable May Love Calendar is here!
And it's FULL of fun and flirty romance tips to help reconnect you with your spouse and strengthen your marriage this month!
Yep, we promised it would be coming and here it is! Are you ready for another month of intentionally loving your spouse?
Have any suggestions for future romance calendars? We'd LOVE to hear in the comments!!
And if you're new to our Love Calendars then...
Here's How It Works
Just download the darling calendar, designed by the lovely Erin with Strawberry Mommycakes. Jennafer at Oh Creative One works with us to update it each month {Isn’t it fun?! Jennafer and Erin can seriously create anything we envision. Check out Jennafer's and Erin's work!}
Then, simply check it every day for your little “love assignment.” It might be a small act of service to do for your spouse, a love note to write, or a quick activity to do together.
Odd days are designated for the hubby and even days are for the wife. The husband is in charge of the days highlighted and the wife is in charge of the days in white. When it’s your day, you will either serve your spouse, plan date night, or grab any needed printables. You’re welcome!
We’ve even included great date night ideas for each Friday night! {Don’t worry, we’ve only scheduled one “out on the town” date each month, so you only have to arrange for a babysitter once a month! The rest of the dates are fun and creative at-home options.} We’ve done all of the work for you, now you just have to MAKE IT HAPPEN!
**TIP: We suggest that you print the calendar and stick it somewhere where you’ll see it often. That way you can check off the little “love assignments” as you complete them. BUT make sure that you also save the digital file to your desktop. Wanna know why? The green text on the calendar are actually links! If you click on them, it will take you to a post with more details and sometimes FREE Printables to go with your little love assignment. So if you see a “green day” on the calendar, don’t forget to check the link!
So, are you ready to join our Marriage Challenge?
Just imagine what a whole month {or YEAR} of intentionally loving your spouse could do for your relationship!

There are too many times when pork chops simply don't get the praise they deserve. When cooked right, this lean cut carries its weight (and then some) as a tender, flavorful main course. It can serve as a simple supper yet also has a place on the table at a nice holiday dinner.
Whether you cook them on the stovetop, bake them in the oven, or grill them, be sure you're not making one of these common mistakes the next time pork chops are on the menu.

If you’re anything like me, music is a big-time motivator during your workouts. It pumps me up and can help me push myself harder when I’m looking for a more intense sweat session. There’s nothing better than heading out on a run or arriving at the gym knowing you have a rockin’ new playlist ready... Read More »
I knew I was in trouble yesterday during Megan’s bootcamp when I thought the warm-up alone was going to kill me, she’s real good at what she does. Brooke joined us at bootcamp and got some intense coloring in while we were doing all sorts of squats, jumps, planks, presses, push-ups… and the list goes on and on. Swagger. I think I might actually be drinking too much water now, my how times have changed. She’s always wanting to […]
