We were graciously given lots of fresh garden tomatoes from one of Jon's new co-workers. Some beefsteak and roma varieties. I'd never worked with fresh tomatoes before to make sauce so I thought why not? Let's try something new and it turned out great!! Boiling tomatoes and then blanching them to peel was one of … Continue reading Homemade Tomato Sauce

Blacksburg, VA | August 2, 2015 | We had been told that there were some great hiking spots in the area and that we had to start with the Cascades. It was about a 30 minute drive from our place up 460 but super easy to find. We went really early hoping to beat the … Continue reading Cascades & Barney’s Wall
So we are finally moved in and settled in our new place in Blacksburg, VA. It was quite the year in Wisconsin and while we had ups and downs while living there we are definitely happy to be back on the East Coast and closer to family and friends. We had stopped through Blacksburg in … Continue reading Blacksburg Living

I looked over the internet to find a good recipe and kind of combined a bunch of different ones to make what I thought would be good. Jon … Continue reading Cauliflower Crust Veggie Pizza
Chippewa Falls & Wausau, WI | July 12, 2015 | We made it! One year and no one died! Victory!! Originally we had thought we'd celebrate in August with a trip to Vancouver (I'm still going on said trip for a race) but with Jon's new job starting on August 1 he couldn't come and … Continue reading A Paper Anniversary

Adapted from Kraft! Ingredients: 1 ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of 14.1-oz. pkg.)4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) … Continue reading Apple Tart
One of my absolute favorite things. If I could eat guacamole all the time I totally would. LOVE IT. This recipe is made off my knowledge of Rosa Mexicano guacamole. I'd had it enough times in DC and watched them prepare it that I was pretty sure I could recreate it myself. And sources (Jon) … Continue reading Guacamole
I promise I don't only make pasta dishes but these have been too delicious not to share! I was again looking for something quick and easy as we're only home for a few days and I didn't want to buy lots of groceries to get us through the week. Luckily for me, Two Peas and … Continue reading Mexican Tortellini Salad
One of Jon's new favorite things. 🙂 As I've been adapting my eating habits for summer training I've been cooking separate meals to keep the hubs happy. He loves tuna and mushrooms- two things I'm not particularly fond of so when we're not eating the same meal I like to make him something tasty. And … Continue reading Skinny Tuna Noodle Casserole
