I am going to miss this little face when it heads to school in September. People think I’m joking when I say her going to school means I’ll have to be the parent again, but really, pretty much the only thing she doesn’t do is change diapers. It is no joke, my friends. Please send […]
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.

Lemon Coconut Tarts with Homemade Lemon Curd
Are they tarts or are they mini pies? I had a hard time deciding, but since the lemon curd filling made me think of lemon pie, we’re going with mini pies. Whatever you want to call these little bites, they’re easy, they’re springy, they’re cute, and they’re gluten and dairy free! I made these last […]
Pink Chantilly with Cranberries {Cookbook Review}
Have you noticed this jar trend gathering steam? Desserts, salads, granola, cookie mixes, lemonade, soup mixes…everything is so cute and organized in jars! You can bring your lunch to work in them, give gifts in them, and keep your dessert all to yourself in them. In keeping with this trend, I’m excited to be sharing […]
Bacon & Gouda Twice-Baked (or Slow Cooker) Potatoes
I consider myself a fairly confident person. I make decisions with minimal thought, and I don’t care a whole lot what other people think of those decisions as long as I’m comfortable with them. I wear whatever I like, I eat what I feel like, and I go out without doing my hair. But let […]
Monday Moments
Our sweet 4-year-old is a proud preschool graduate :) I’m not sure there’s anything cuter than a bunch of eager 4-year-old faces singing songs, reciting scripture verses, and showing off everything they’ve learned over the year. The same incredible woman has been teaching kids their Bible basics for 28 years now – that’s something worth […]
Saturday Sweets: Good Grains Fruit & Oat Cookies
I’m feeling a huge sense of relief today. Yesterday I handed in a 13-page paper and officially finished my last assignment besides a final exam for my Political Psychology course. It’s funny given how much I love school how relieved I always am at the end of a semester. Suddenly my evenings are looking so […]
Mom’s Beef Bourguignon
Today I’m excited to début another new feature on the blog – in addition to Erin’s fashion expertise, my sweet Mom has agreed to come on board and contribute some of her amazing recipes! Hi Mom!! Really, I’ve been stealing and sharing her recipes the whole two years I’ve been blogging, so it only seems right you […]
Monday Moments
It’s the beginning of another month! No April Fool’s tricks here, except if you came looking for an accomplished First on the First challenge – no such luck! The challenge this month was banana pudding but that is something I grew up so totally averse to, as I was to any banana-flavoured “desserts”, so I […]
Hot Cross Buns
Happy Easter weekend, everyone! Hot cross buns were an Easter tradition in my house growing up, but this is the first time I’ve made them myself. I find anything involving yeast is such a commitment for me – 3+ whole hours with the same recipe? What if I want to look around? What if something […]
Greek-Style Shrimp Scampi with Linguine
Follow my blog with Bloglovin …Good-bye Google Reader, let’s give something new a try :) So, how do people feel about shrimp? Shrimp is definitely a food that’s grown on me, from something I didn’t think I liked at all, to something I could tolerate when really hungry, to something I now actually crave at […]
