 🐾Sarge’s Corner

Fun fact: Sarge was born on June 6, 2019—the 75th anniversary of D-Day. We felt it was only fitting to give him a strong, heroic name to match such a historic day. Our boy turns 6 years old next week! Where does the time go? ❤️

🫶 What I'm Loving This Week

Lately, I’ve been all about my ride-or-die dinner recipe: Easy Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies. Seriously, it’s a lifesaver for busy weeknights—toss whatever veggies you’ve got in the fridge with some olive oil & spices, nestle in your favorite sausage (we love the Old Bay ones from Aldi), & dinner’s done in under an hour with one pan to clean. You can switch it up a million ways & it still turns out delish every time. What’s one of your go-to, busy weeknight dinner recipes?
