With summer coming frozen yogurt season is here! Do you prefer ice cream or frozen yogurt? I’m a frozen yogurt girl all the way, and knowing how easy it is to make at home is daaaangerrrrous. Take some yogurt, add some mix-ins, and freeze it. Doesn’t get any easier than that, does it?! Healthier versions […]
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.
Find more about me on:
Chicken, Apple, & Brie Pastries
I eat cheese like it’s my job. Hey, you gotta keep busy while you’re on maternity leave, right? If we don’t have cheese, I literally don’t know what to do at lunch time. I’ve heard of kids who don’t like cheese, but I’m thankful those kids aren’t my kids. We accept a lot of differences […]
Furniture Refinishing: Oak Coffee Table
My sister and I were planning a fabulous stripping party while Carl was out of town (not a sentence I get to use often), but she backed out last minute and I almost put off my own project, but, despite the sub-par working conditions in the garage, I decided it was now or never. A turquoise […]
Saturday Sweets: Pecan Butter Tarts
I love pecans, and I love butter. I also love corn syrup, although I realize this makes me totally un-chic and goes against everything I claim to believe in about eating real food that is, for the most part, pretty healthy. I’m sorry if this makes you think less of me. But not really sorry, […]
Fashion Friday: Spring Showers & Flowers
I didn’t even know until today that my sister shares my deep love for the uniquely transcendent, restorative beauty of a rainy day. We may be a week late, but Erin is here. ************************************************ Today it is raining. To most people, this is not a cause for celebration. But in my world, it warrants opening […]
Pulled Pork Lasagna
On Sunday afternoon, Carl suddenly decided we should go shopping on Monday afternoon. He arranged for his Mom to watch the kids, and I quickly abandoned plans to grocery shop and paint my front door. When Carl decides we need to go shopping, believe me, I go shopping. I didn’t find much, especially not […]
Monday Moments
My dreams of a carefree summer on the beach with one reasonably capable swimmer, one stuck on the blanket for fear of getting sand in his shoes, and one sitting in one place surrounded by clean toys are ruined. This little stinker pulled a Gemma on me and learned how to crawl before he can […]
Leftover Cereal Cookies
I have a problem with leftover cereal languishing in my cupboards, and when I get a hankering (looove that word!) for cookies, any ingredients are looking like a good option, and with these cookies, the results are so good I now actually look forward to having a cupboard full of almost-empty cereal boxes. Who has […]
Aunt Nancy’s Best Ever Bean Salad
Bean salad is a funny thing – I don’t love any of the ingredients individually, but put all these simple things together? Magic happens. Thanks for sharing another treasured family recipe, Mom! ******************************************** As a student, I spent a summer working in Edmonton back in 1978. While there I lived with one of my brothers […]
Baked Mediterranean Chicken Quesadillas
Let me start by telling you that I have never in my life liked fresh tomatoes. So why am I posting a recipe extreeemely heavy on tomatoes, you ask? What was I even doing with tomatoes in my house, you ask? Well, my lovely sister-in-law supplies me with tomatoes from time to time, and generally […]
