Say what?! I went and took a picture of a dinner recipe, which means you know you need to make it. If you like pasta, that is. I hosted a bake exchange last night that resulted in 12 kinds of amazingness in my freezer that I’m trying not to think about so it will last longer than […]
Slow Cooker Beef & Barley Risotto
We’re 2 months into this new baby thing, and dare I say I think we’re getting into the swing of things? I feel like it’s risky to put that out there but, knock on wood, he now goes down consistently around 8:00pm, sleeps mostly-consistently through the night, is learning to enjoy his swing or his daddy […]
Mom’s Recipes: Tomato and Feta Baked Eggs
It’s been almost a year since I was getting ready to move in with my parents for a few months. Despite missing Carl and being pretty nauseously newly pregnant, those were really good months, and the kids still regularly ask when we can go visit for “12 years” (12 weeks) again. Recipes like this are […]
Bacon Sausage Alfredo Pizza
Bacon, sausage, and sweatpants. Two of those things are acceptable for men to like, one not as much. Any guesses on what we’re talking about? You got it – men and sweatpants. Let me state at the outset that I love my husband dearly, and I get the desire for comfort and coziness, I do. […]
Weekly Menu Plan
I am all about quick, easy dinners right now, preferably ones that can be prepped earlier in the day so the craziness of the dinner hour can be toned down a little so I can feed my baby or talk to Gemma about school in that time instead of standing by the stove. Today on […]
How to Stock Your Freezer (and what to make)
Thank you all so much for your incredible support and encouragement after yesterday’s post. It’s amazing how, when you talk about something, you suddenly find so many other people who have struggled or are struggling with the very same thing, and it’s always good to know you’re not alone. This may be a silly little online […]
Mom’s Recipes: Easy Roast Chicken
You guys, my mom is here AND she’s here! What, you say? That’s right, she’s at my house AND she’s on the blog. What fun :) And all these delicious recipes she shares with us all? She’s actually making some of them for me, and it is fabulous. I wish she would never leave. Thankfully I […]
Mom’s Recipes: Tomato Basil Chicken Casserole
It’s been too long since I posted a must-make dinner recipe, hasn’t it? It could be because I don’t like to cook actual dinners when the weather gets hot, or because my baby is getting so big it is making my stomach too small to care much about whole meals and increasing my personal body heat […]
Basque Chicken Drumsticks
Today I’m responsible for feeding 200 people. Monday I shopped like it wasn’t my money, Tuesday I prepped like I was actually going to benefit from it, and today all that food disappears into (hopefully) smiling faces. I won’t know because I have to leave as soon as it’s set up to write an exam on the cheery subject […]
Crispy Baked Chicken Fingers
Summer is suddenly upon us here, at least for a couple days until spring reasserts itself, and I’m starting early on my annual bid for air conditioning. I love a sunny day as much as the next guy, but a hot house is looooow on my list of good things. Let’s see, wheerrrrre is it, […]
