I’ve been on a bit of a freezer meal quest lately, determined to find things that are easy to make ahead, and still taste good cooked from frozen. A huge part of this is being willing to make freezer meals by myself when time presents itself. This means NOT waiting for a sister or friend […]
Zucchini Basil Spaghetti
The good thing about Carl going out of town is that my grocery bill is literally cut in half. The bad news is I have 4 boys who will be teenagers before I know it, and this makes me realize that I don’t think we’ll be able to afford to feed them anything but noodles […]
Chicken Avocado Pasta
Friends, it’s time I cut back on the blogging. I got a new job I am so very excited about, but it means something has to give, and I’d really rather that something wasn’t sleep. I’m sure most of you, like me, find it absolutely horrifying that I could have chosen to have an abortion in Canada […]

It kind of seems like yesterday, so I’m not really sure where 4 months of time have gone, and I wish I could just make time pause for a year or two while I enjoy this fleeting, achingly beautiful newborn stage. One […]
Lemon Chicken Soup with Farro

Taco Lasagna
I’ve been holding out on you with a super easy dinner recipe you’re going to want to add to your plans this week. I apologize for this blogging negligence, and offer you a taco lasagna peace offering. No more secrets here. The first time I made this I had some friends coming over and it […]
