Have you ever seen that Seinfeld episode where Jerry and George dare Elaine to grab food from another customer’s plate at a restaurant and carry on walking as though nothing was out of the ordinary? She can’t work up the courage despite being ravenous, but that courage comes easily to our independent 2-year-old. After a […]
About Anna
I believe in God, the power of optimism, and the ability of food to bring people together. I love to share everyday homemade food with family and friends (and the internetz)! I love cheese, proper grammar, an organized house, dark chocolate, my husband, and my 5 sweet kids.

Monday Moments: Baby Legs
He gets his flexibility, and his thighs, from me. Let’s take a closer look at those beauts. Deeeeee-squishy-licious. Whatcha doin’, Mom? Ohhhh nothing your future girlfriend will ever know about, certainly not. Too much cuteness.
Zucchini Lemon Loaf
Can we talk about school group work? Is there a person alive that went to school, cared about their grades, was genuinely interested in learning, and then got assigned a group project or presentation, and thought, “YES, group work!” ?? I’m not a gambling gal, but I’m putting my money on NO. Yet teachers seem […]
Monday Moments: Note to Self
I seriously love this third child of mine. That is my note to self, as I have been feeling less than charitable toward Theo since potty training had the unexpected consequence of him waking up around 5:00 am ever since to use the facilities…and when he’s up, he’s up. He hasn’t really slept through the night […]
Cranberry White Chocolate Magic Bars
Sometimes I am seriously surprised to realize I haven’t shared a particular recipe with you on this here site of wonder. These particular bars, for instance. I contributed these to our family cookbook 5 years ago and have made them semi-regularly since – how have I never told you about them?! My friend Alyssa would tell you […]
Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes & Ham
I didn’t actually realize that scallops were a seafood dish until recently. Growing up at home, we had scallops every Easter, and fairly regularly other times, in the form of thinly-sliced potatoes with onions, white sauce, and of course, muchos au gratin. My mom always gave the impression that they were fairly time consuming and fiddly, […]
Monday Moments: For Carl
This one’s for you Carl, in case you’re missing us at all (and you better be ;)). 11 days down, only 7 more to go! Gemma got her nails painted – did you know I was so talented? Kristopher mastered the ramp on his bike – his helmet was somewhere nearby, rest assured. Theo has […]
Brown Eggs and Jam Jars {Giveaway closed}
Seriously, do cookbooks get any more beautiful than this?! Brown Eggs and Jam Jars is the gorgeous new cookbook from Canadian food writer Aimee Wimbush-Bourque, editor of the Simple Bites website and urban homesteader extraordinaire. I was so excited to receive two copies of this book fresh off the press – one you won’t be able […]
Monday Moments: On the Move!
So we may or may not have BOUGHT A HOUSE! YOU GUYS, WHAT THE EVEN WHAT. No takebacks? Subjects will be removed this week, and, Lord willing, we’ll be moving at the end of March. It’s going to be crazy weird, after the past three years living with my in-laws, not to have them around, […]
Cheesy Ham & Sage Casserole
I am just watching, and waiting. Five nights ago, one little boy spent the whole night launching his leftovers, and, if everyone I know on Facebook is to be believed, with a family of six we aren’t getting off that easy. So far, the baby has a terrible-but-only-occasional barking cough, and no one else has […]
