Thanksgiving is arguably the biggest cooking day of the year for lots of families, and even the weeks leading up to the big day can be filled with tasks like deep cleaning the house, preparing make-ahead gravy and cranberry sauce, and freezing rounds of pie dough. It’s a busy, hectic time, and the last thing

Thanksgiving is almost here, and that means many of us are getting ready to host an epic meal for our loved ones. But when you’re hosting, there’s nothing more stressful than having a house full of hungry guests, two more hours of waiting until the turkey is done roasting, and nothing but canned cranberry sauce

The best part of the holiday season is the excited feeling of suspense leading up to the big day. From decorations to special songs to our favorite meals, we start celebrating long before the actual day of Christmas arrives. Our new favorite way to build up the anticipation is also our old favorite, from childhood:

There’s a lot we love about the holidays, from making our favorite comfort foods to share with family, to decorating our tree and house to reflect the cheery mood of the season. But the anticipation is, in many ways, the best part. That’s why we love advent calendars. Wine advent calendars, cheese advent calendars, pet

Holiday shopping is no joke, so we’ve been known to start stocking up on good presents as early as, well, right now. Sometimes there’s an item that catches our eye and we know it would be perfect for someone we love, but it will probably sell out before Christmas, so we start filling our secret

It almost pains me to write this because we are barely one day into spooky season and all I want to think about is Halloween but there’s some breaking Costco news that I must bring to your attention. Even though the holidays are still a few months away, the holiday spirit is alive and well

You know what it means when the air starts to get chilly in the morning and the first leaves start to hit the ground — ’tis the season for everything pumpkin spice, and let us not forget where that delicious flavor originated: pumpkin pie itself! And one of our — and your — favorite places

Spotting the “goldilocks” of kid-friendly snacks is easier said than done. As you stand in the snack foods aisle, staring at the endless brands and options, three questions run through your mind: Is this snack healthy enough? Is it too healthy? And, most importantly, will the kids even like it? They’re all valid questions, but

It’s summer, and the long hot days mean that entertaining the kiddos can be a little challenging. Playing outside in the sun all day can lead to serious overheating, but the good news is that cooling off can be just as fun! Whether you’re at the pool or at the beach, lounging on a splash

Some of our favorite Costco products are things that seem eerily similar to nearly identical items made by other brands. There are always rumors that the store’s Kirkland products are actually sourced from name-brand manufacturers, but often, it’s hard to verify if those are facts or just rumors. But there are some Costco products made

If you’re a fan of Trader Joe’s products and also have a Costco Membership, you’re in luck. As you may have seen by now, Costco and Aldi have both started carrying some products very similar to TJ’s favorites like Costco’s chile-lime seasoning,  Aldi’s everything but the bagel goat cheese and even everything crusted cod. The

For too long I let my herbs and spices cabinet slide. That maddening section of my pantry was a chaotic mess, where I seemingly always had several bottles of paprika but no oregano when I could have sworn I just bought a refill at Target last weekend? Oh, and then there’s that fun game of

Father’s Day is almost here, and we don’t know what it is about this holiday, but it always feels like we’re scrambling to find the perfect gift for our dads up to the last minute. That’s where Costco comes in. We already loaded our cart with their “Hot Sauce Challenge,” a spicy sampler for Dads

Busy moms everywhere know how hard it can be to whip up food that is both simple to make and healthy at the same time. That’s why we’ve been longtime fans of Jennifer Garner’s Once Upon A Farm organic baby food company. The A-lister’s fresh and nutritious products are a hit among parents and their

Around here, we’re regular shoppers at Costco. I mean, with deals like these on popular items we love, how could you not be a mega fan?! While we’re constantly on the lookout for what’s new at Costco, we also make sure we stock up on all of our favorite products whenever we get the chance.

There is just something so irresistible about the combination of graham crackers, chocolate, and gooey marshmallows. It reminds us all of those childhood summer nights. Costco has everything and more you could need to make homemade s’mores like a chic gas fire pit, a portable fire pit, and even some wooden chairs to lounge on

The last year or so has definitely been hard, but one of the biggest blows to our morale was something that might sound kind of silly: Costco had to limit their food court menu, which meant we had to go for way too long without our favorite snacks like chicken bake, churros, and ice cream.

Costco’s food court is known for three delicious treats: their larger-than-life hotdogs, their chicken bakes stuffed with chunky chicken, bacon and a creamy Caesar dressing; and their sugary, soft, irresistible churros. And while these items are a must-grab on your way out of the wholesale retailers’ stores, some days we wish we could keep ’em stocked

There is something so satisfying about chips and guacamole in the summer. Maybe it’s because it pairs well with our perfect summer drink, a margarita. Or maybe it’s the citrusy flavor from the lime that gives it that warm-weather, tropical feel. One thing we know for sure is that we want to be eating it

Now that we’ve gotten a taste of warmer weather, we’re looking forward to all of the safe, socially distant outdoor gatherings we’ve been longing for. One of our favorite summer activities has always been setting up a bonfire as roasting up some delicious gooey s’mores. It’s definitely a seasonal tradition in our book. But if
