Why? Because

If you’re a new reader to this little food blog we like to call SMTY, let me catch you up.

Currently, Trevor and I are in sunny Cancun, Mexico and lovin’ every minute of it! We’re gone for quite a few days, but I still needed to keep this blog up and running. 🙂

As you can imagine then, November and the beginning of December were h.e.c.t.i.c. as I was trying to recipe test, photograph, and write a bunch of new recipes for you!

This healthy breakfast sandwich could not have come at a more perfect time.

When things get busy, it’s so hard to stay healthy!

Is that just me?

I feel like the busier I get, the more I crave really indulgent, comfy, cozy, probably shouldn’t be eating this every night of the week type food.
