Easy Penne Pesto Pasta with Chicken, Pinenuts, + Sundried Tomatoes
Last week I shared another recipe that is inspired by a local Kentucky restaurant, Bella Notte. This is super easy to put together and tastes delicious! If you don’t have the exact ingredients listed below, feel free to improvise with whatever ingredients you have in your pantry. This also works great as leftovers and is just as tasty heated back up! Find all the instructions and ingredients listed below-

Easy Pantry Pizzas
I wanted to share an easy and favorite recipe that you can easily make using whatever leftovers you may have in your fridge and pantry! There are a couple of options for the crust. I used Trader Joe’s pre-made flatbread pizza crust (available in the bread section). However, Trader Joe’s also has great pizza dough, but it will require an extra step when preparing these pizzas. If you don’t have pizza dough available, you can use any kind of French bread, baguette, flatbread, or naan that you have!
DIY Aged Pots + Vases | Pottery Barn Look for Less Using Thrift Store Finds
I’m always on the lookout for great home decor DIY’s especially when it involves up-cycling thrifted finds! I recently came across this “found pot” DIY on Jaci Daily’s Instagram and knew I had to try it ASAP! I, like Jaci, am obsessed with these “found” pots, planters, and vases seen below- they have the perfect amount of wear, age, and texture that give them an antique, “found” look. I definitely am not ever paying that much for a vase or planter though, BUT thanks to the quick DIY I am sharing today- you can get the look for much, much less! Even when you find these vintage or at antique stores now they are usually super expensive since they’re becoming so popular (olive pots is what many are referred to as).

Entryway Refresh: Before + After
As you might have seen on my Instagram, I gave my entryway a little “refresh” right before Christmas! I wanted to modernize the space a bit on a budget and while it’s still a work in progress, I’m loving the updates so far! I was able to find the perfect entryway table at The Domestic in Lexington and gave it a makeover with some paint. I also used the magic light trick to add sconces to the wall on each side of this new round mirror which really gave the space a clean, modern look (find the full post about how to do that HERE!). As far as accessories and finishing touches, I feel like that may be something I continue to update seasonally. I’m still not sold on the bench at the end of the space, but it works for now.
Office Renovation Update
I’ve been updating this big “bonus room” space above our garage into an office/workspace for client meetings, creative projects, crafting, sewing, and more. You might have seen updates about this space when I shared about my DIY Marble-Looking Countertops and I’m so excited to share the progress that has been made since then. I still have a lot more projects in mind for this space but it has come so far from the nasty carpet and ceiling fan room seen in the “before” pictures below! I am finally able to work and enjoy this space and am having so much fun putting the finishing touches on everything. Check out more before and after pictures below!
Cook Once, Eat All Week: Taco Ground Beef
We eat a ton of beef in our house and it’s definitely my husband’s favorite food. Thankfully it is also the easiest ingredient to get the MOST recipes out of to feed a family on a budget! Today I’m sharing how to put together a whole week of meals with one staple recipe: my taco ground beef. Make a big batch of this and you can have burrito bowls, tacos, nachos, salads, casseroles, and more! You can also freeze this if you want to spread out your taco inspired recipes and not eat them all in the same short week. I’m listing my favorite recipes to use this in below, but really the possibilities are endless!
