We love trying new recipes and cooking together in the kitchen. But, sometimes our schedules need dinner to have a little planning. That is why I follow several food blogs and take advantage of saving recipes on my pinterest board. Here are a few cooking sites that I enjoy stopping in for ideas! Thought I would share. Iowa Girl Eats The photography alone, makes me hungry. Story lines are good and constant good eats. One of my favorite recipes is the Skinny Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli-Rice Casserole on this site. Below is the photo of the Hawaiian Pulled Pork Skillet Nachos with Pineapple Guacamole .  Its on my list of recipes to try.  Maybe I was drawn to this site, because my husband is a Iowa Boy. Eat at Home I wish this blog would have been around when my children were young, and I planned weekly meals on a budget. Any Mom would love this site. And I love her recipes and the simplicity to them.  This blog offers speed cooking shortcuts and weekly meal plans that you c

In fact, if you are wondering what your style is...go over to Homegoods and you can take a test finding your style and blogs that have decorating tips for that style.  I found that my style is Classic with a little Boho. Fits me perfect!   Classic Boho As you can seen in my home, I have a mix of elements showing this style. Most of my inspiration comes from reading home and living magazines, pinterest and decorating blogs.  Maybe you are thinking of switching things up a bit too? Perhaps start an inspiration board.

Note: This is not an advertisement for Credit Karma ...just a message to help anyone that doesn't know about it. They are many places to check your credit, but I choose this one as my personal choice.  I use the website, Credit Karma  to check my credit from time to time. To my own surprise, I found a charge on an old credit card that was reporting delinquent payments. Understand, it was an account that was $0 balance and the card had been shredded. I would have never known about it, if I hadn't checked my credit on the site, Credit Karma . Luckily, I got it cleared up. But, these things are not simple. It took 3 phone calls before I actually got it cleared and a letter written to credit report to report the mistake on their part. Serving as the President of the Board of a local Credit Union, credit scores is a commonly discussed term and how it can effect the rate you get for a loan, insurance, etc.. As a Realtor, I know many people are often surprised about somethi
