I am a slave to what you people want. You worry about all the sweets I eat: I join boot camp. You coo at pictures of babies: I make more babies. You ask for more savoury recipes: I deliver. And by “deliver“, I mean I ROCK ME SOME SAVOURY. Yup, I said it. I am […]
Monday Must-Haves
Happy Monday! It’s a holiday Monday ’round these parts, which means no work for me, and lots of time to bake and cook and craft! I have a bunch of recipes from last spring and summer calling my name, wanting to be made again, so I thought I’d give you a little run-down of some […]
Butternut Squash & Jalapeno Cream Soup
Ok, I know it’s spring and people are turning away from thoughts of squash and soup, but seriously, this cannot wait for fall. Despite my super cute new bathing suit and an exciting trip and family wedding in the plans, I am putting off thoughts of summer for as long as I can, and the […]
Buttery Pasta Skillet Bake
I am so happy to have my laptop up and running again! I thought it was beyond repair, but after 2 weeks of despair Carl finally took pity on me and opened it up, which means he found the giant hairball that was clogging the fan and causing the computer to shut itself down every […]
Spicy Quinoa Chili & Cornbread
Before we talk about how great quinoa is in chili (spoiler alert – it’s great), let’s talk about silly things kids do. Today, we had our first real “crayon meets wall” incident. To be more precise, crayons meets WALLS. Like, every wall. In every room. Every. Single. Room. Pink crayon in a continuous trail across […]
Quick Crustless Quiche
Quick Crustless Quiche. Say that 5 times fast. Fun, right?! So let’s talk about Breakfast for Dinner. I am not a big breakfast person, so, while I have to eat breakfast to avoid a massive crazy mood swing by 9:00, I tend to stick to a muffin or scone, or a smoothie…something light, reasonably nutritious, […]
White Cheese and Chicken Lasagna
You know when you have one of those moments where you are praying that a) no one is watching, and b) a store has no security cameras? No, no, I didn’t steal anything, and I think my mistake can really be made by anyone. At least, that’s what I’ll tell myself. I love automatic doors. They are […]
2011 Top 10 Round-Up!
Time really does go more quickly every year, doesn’t it? This blog began back at the end of January 2011, so it’s already been almost a year in progress! It’s so fun looking back, and seeing even in that short time how much has changed! Here’s a look back at our Top 10 favorite recipes we […]
Ham & Lentil Soup
I hope you all had a great Christmas dinner or three! I am still beyond full from the two I enjoyed, neither of which I had to prepare, although I did make large quantities of these potatoes, Chocolate Ecstasy, and Pumpkin Toffee Cheesecake. Now the leftovers sitting in my fridge make me sad I don’t […]
Pesto-Alfredo Shrimp Pasta
Well, risotto is now at the top of my meal plan, and I very much appreciate the recommendations you all so kindly shared, but after a busy and frustrating day picking up new furniture (yay, good deal!!) and dealing with a sick, sad little boy it was back to my regular comfort food – pasta. […]
