Today’s recipe is brought to you by the letters L, A, Z, and Y. This is risotto for people who don’t want to babysit their dinner, who want to set it and forget it and pull it out after an hour in the oven with only ONE stir mid-way! This is risotto for lazy people. […]
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 love this picture of Theo and my mom paying no attention whatsoever as Carl holds up their card in an attempt to move along a rousing game of Killer Bunnies. (Side note: if you like games, come on over – this is a good one). I love my helpful little boy, who is thrilled […]
Saturday Sweets: HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOWS (NO EGGS)
I’ve posted homemade marshmallows before. For someone who had only ever tasted (and not liked) store bought marshmallows, they were a revelation in what a marshmallow is supposed to be. I can’t go back to store bought ones, and homemade ones are such an easy and fun science experiment that they are well worth the […]
Book Review: THE WILLPOWER INSTINCT
The Willpower Instinct: How Self Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It. This book had me at the title. I love the field of health psychology and I love a good scientific explanation for things. Kelly McGonigal, a health psychologist who teaches a course on willpower at […]
Grilled Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Carl got his wisdom tooth pulled last week and due to the emergency nature and impaction, he had to be sedated. I didn’t tell you about this sooner because, quite frankly, I was recovering from the trauma. Have you ever been around someone you love who’s been medically sedated? Someone who is a foot taller […]
Monday Moments
Carl likes flying the baby more than the baby likes being flown :) I’m hoping to start a new tradition on the blog, starting off each week with these “Monday Moments”…short, sweet, to the point, just a couple pictures that gives you a little glimpse into what we’re up to around these parts. I’m hoping […]
Saturday Sweets: EGGNOG CHOCOLATE CHIP LOAF
Eggnog is, as food inventions go, right up there with kale chips in the running for “worst idea ever”. I told you yesterday I’m not a fence-sitter; I have strong opinions, and this is one of them. There are few worse ideas than a nog made of eggs, and this is a creation no amount […]
Leftover Cranberry Sauce Oat Bars
LEFTOVERS. People seem to love ’em or hate ’em, and I love a good set of polarized camps! I am that person that just has to take a stance on an issue, whether I really feel strongly about it or not, because I feel very uncomfortable sitting on the fence. So here you have it: […]
Let’s Get This 2013 Party Started!
Happy New Year, one and all! I hope you all rang in the new year in a way that makes you happy, whether it was sleeping (like me) or partying it up with champagne and sparkles. For the record, those things ALSO make me very happy, but this year, sleep made me happier. There’s always […]
