I should really know better by now than to start my Christmas baking anytime besides the day before Christmas. I had the best of intentions when I made these no-bake beauties a couple weeks ago. A jump on my holiday baking, I thought. I’ll bake for the freezer, I said. I need to test a new […]
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
I feel like I don’t take nearly enough pictures of baby #4. For the past couple months he’s had mega cradle cap hampering his cute-from-all-angles-ness, but with that under control I figured I would be able to up my photo quantity pretty rapidly. What I forgot to take into account: moths-to-a-flame syndrome. One picture of my […]
#BeEggsquisite: Gingerbread Sweet Potato Muffins
This holiday season, I have a total obsession with gingerbread. I can’t stop. Won’t stop. I’m craving gingerbread like nobody’s business, making gingerbread treats, and watching them disappear to mere crumbs at the corners of my mouth before anyone else in the family has time to realize I baked something. Taking this compulsive consumption into account, gingerbread […]

Pumpkin Cake with Chocolate Chip Streusel
This has been a week of big changes, in which I did two things I didn’t think I would ever do: I joined Instagram and I got a blond pixie cut with a bit of teal thrown in. They’re not related, but you can see said haircut o’er there if you’re the curious sort :) […]

Lemon Chicken Soup with Farro
Farro. This is a new ingredient to me. Have you all been using it for ages and forgetting to tell me? Shame on you. I tell you everything, and this is the response I get? Ouch. Healthy new grains that taste delicious aren’t always easy to come by, and farro is a winner. Quinoa = not a […]
Monday Moments: Things We Did
Sometimes I think about what life would be like if Carl or I were to die unexpectedly. That may sound morbid, but it isn’t something that makes me really anxious as much as it makes me thoughtful. Kids are highly adaptable and have very short memories, and I know it wouldn’t be long before I […]
