Must Make Father's Day Recipes & a Furry Surprise 🐶

The Father's Day Menu & a Furry Surprise 🐶 Simply Made Eats by Tara We got a puppy and she's soooooo cute. Her name is Penny (short for Penelope) and she's my new best friend, and Hutch's (our 2 year old lab) current enemy. I think once she gets bigger, he will learn to love her. I was not anticipating his bad attitude. Puppies are like babies and it's good they're cute. I haven't slept well in 6 nights and she pooped in my room yesterday. I love her though. This weekend is Father's Day and...

Blackstone Meals ALL Day & Find the Perfect Gift for Dad Simply Made Eats by Tara Okay, I thought Summer was supposed to be chill?! This week we packed in my daughter's 10th birthday party, orthodontist appointments, and our poor dog had to get fixed. He's pitiful walking around all groggy with his cone of shame. Oh, and my husband has some kind of weird lingering cough that has turned him quite grumpy. EEK! Anyways... It's almost Father's Day, and I thought we would do a bit of a grill...

High Protein Bowls Ready in Under an Hour! Simply Made Eats by Tara The kids are out of school and it's officially SUMMER! I'm headed to Nashville for a few days to see my hubby's two sisters and I can't wait (except I have to drive for 7 hours today). 😭😭😭 We're going to do a quick stop in Knoxville at a French crepe shop, so that will make the drive easier and we have 2 Bucees to stop at. Have you been? It's the wildest gas station EVER. I've been making High Protein Bowl recipes on repeat...

Memorial Day Meal Plan Easy to Make Crowd Favorites Simply Made Eats by Tara I'm not going to lie, the last few weeks were absolute torture, but I'm coming out strong. I had two dental extractions, followed by braces put on, then a dry socket and finished off strong with an infection in my gums. Life just kept throwing curveballs at me, and I'm hoping we're done for a bit. It also had me thinking about how grateful I am for my health and I should appreciate it more. The kids got out of school...

High Protein Snack Ideas Store-bought & Homemade Options Simply Made Eats by Tara Summer is coming soon and we need snack ideas! My kids will literally eat junk food all day long, so I need a strategy. I'm not doing the homemade cheese-its and goldfish thing, but I will make some 5 minute snacks. I like to have a mix of homemade snacks and store bought, but either way I'm focused on high protein, so we can stay full longer and not have to keep eating between meals. These are great ideas for...

Easy Mother's Day Recipes That Mom Will Love Simply Made Eats by Tara It's been a rough week for this Mom. I had to get two teeth extracted in order to get braces and one of them turned out to be a nightmare (crown broke off and it took about an hour to get root out). It's been the longest 3 days of my life with minimal sleep and so much pain. I know now that it's never a good thing when the dentist says "I've never seen anything like this before." Red flag people...Red flag! OMG 😳 I'm making...

Rotisserie Chicken Meals Saving Money on Groceries Simply Made Eats by Tara The cost of groceries continues to rise and I think we're going to have to start getting creative. This week's video is all spending less while still eating a well balanced meal with high protein. In the video below, you'll see that if you buy 1 large rotisserie chicken from Costco for $4.99, you can remove the skin and divide the meat into 3 equal parts for these 3 recipes. *If you don't have a Costco membership, use...

Italian Grinder Pasta Salad A TikTok Viral Recipe Simply Made Eats by Tara Sometimes I'm a bit of a skeptic over viral TikTok recipes. However, when it comes to pasta salad, I love trying new versions and my spin on the Grinder Pasta Salad did not disappoint. The Italian Grinder Salad was going bonkers on TikTok last Summer and I developed my own version, so I knew the pasta salad would be so good. To the Recipe..
