We head out tomorrow on our big annual camping trip and I could not be more excited. We are in serious need of a little getaway! Today (as I’ll be chopping, mixing and prepping over here), I’m sharing 12 seriously delicious camping recipes to inspire your own camp feasts.

Bob’s birthday was yesterday so over the weekend we decided to host an impromptu gathering. I love hosting a birthday party, but we’ve been so busy lately that I hadn’t had a ton of time to organize anything too far in advance so a last minute party it was! On the menu? A make your …
I’ve been an iced coffee fanatic since before iced coffee was cool. (Pun intended.) In all seriousness, I remember being obsessed with the stuff long before most of my friends who even try it, and now it is a full on cultural phenomenon. I still feel like a lot of people don’t make their own …
This post was created in collaboration with V8. Real veggies for real people. Thank you for supporting the sponsors that help make The Sweetest Occasion possible! Last summer I was pregnant and could not get enough of everything frozen and fruity. This summer it is insanely hot on the east coast and I have had precisely zero interest in turning …
I make no secret of the fact that ice cream is legitimately my favorite food. Ever. Of all time. No contest. I’m smart and I don’t let myself eat it every day for every meal the way I would love to, but I do love me a good ice cream cone in the summer. Playing …
Few summer treasures make me quite as happy as fresh summer peaches. I usually just snack on them as is, but I also love them in cocktails and even pancakes! With the height of summer gardening season about to reach its peak here in our area, an ode to the peach seemed appropriate. Today I’ve …
Following that one particularly sparkly and festive holiday in December, the 4th of July is very easily my favorite holiday. I’m pretty sure it’s because I love summer, but I’m also pretty sure it’s because I am kind of a fireworks fanatic. Plus all that red, white and blue patriotic spirit gets me right in …
Life is short, friends, so let’s start the week with dessert, shall we? Oh, and, hello! Hi. I’m alive! I’m pretty sure the last two weeks have been a couple for the record books. I could tell you all about how Bob seriously broke and nearly severed the end of his finger the week before …
When I shared our round-up of favorite cookbooks, I mentioned I’d be working to share more recipes and examples of what I eat in a typical day. Enter stuffed baked sweet potatoes! This is one of my go-to meals during the week, whether it be for lunch or dinner. It’s filling enough to stand alone …
I’ve been eating a lot of salads lately. Way more than average. (You know, trying to be fit and healthy and all that jazz.) And even though I have a serious love affair with salads, I think I’ve officially burned myself right out on the standard varietal. So today I’m on the hunt for the ultimate …
Tacos! Put a few little tacos on a plate and you’re instantly speaking my love language. With Cinco de Mayo coming up quick, we’d be remiss if we didn’t talk about tacos and how they should be the national food of everywhere. Today I’ve rounded up 15 must-try taco recipes! We’re talking breakfast tacos, vegetarian …
This veggie flatbread is about to become your new party food mainstay. Are you ready? The women in my family have been serving up some version of this flatbread recipe as a party appetizer for as long as I can remember. Rumor has it my mom started making it first, but honestly I remember it …
