I am admittedly, not a cook. I kinda actually suck. I cannot light our grill, I underestimate how long water takes to boil, and I always take the long and hard way for a short and easy recipe.

BUT I have found my mecca of food blogs.

Here’s the thing, I am a BUSY momma of two. There’s really few no wedding photographers doing it the way I want my business to be run, living the lifestyle I want, to look up to. That means I am kinda knocking down walls blindly (I’m also building walls to things I realize I don’t want!) Short story, is I just don’t have time to create these incredible meals for three or four of us. I need recipes I can change quickly to suit our tastes, have most ingredients in my pantry regularly, and can find the ingredients at ANY grocery store.

Enter: Shay Shull of Mix & Match Mama. Oh my gosh ya’ll I cannot love this blog more!! I also adore her Mix & Match Family blog, and follow along with all her funny anecdotes.

I love this pancake recipe she shared and my kids did too!! It seriously justifies me eating cupcakes for breakfast 😉 WIN!

My favorite pasta dish from her blog! Super easy, it re-heated VERY well, and the flavors were light for a pasta dish!

And then these……I love me a good blondie and her way of remaking these bars over and over again sells me! Super easy and perfect to bring to a dinner or party!!
