Hi there! Remember me? I used to post recipes around here? Ha Life’s been a bit hectic in the last few weeks and our dinners have consisted of tried and true, quick favorites, so posting, as you may have noticed, has been sparse. I’m happy to say that we seem to finally have gotten back [...]

Whole Grain Waffles
These waffles are too good for my waffle maker. My waffle maker SUCKS. I mean, really. What did I expect? We bought for $7 years ago. Obviously it wasn’t the highest craftmanship possible. However, after many, many failed batches of really gross homemade waffles, and a bit of tenacity (read: my own stubbornness and a [...]

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
This recipe comes to you at the request of my 3-year-old daughter. A few Saturdays ago she woke up and the first thing she said is “Momma, will you make me breakfast? Something with bananas? And chocolate?” I wonder where she gets that from? These muffins certainly delivered. They were soft and fluffy, perfect amounts [...]

Chili
As much as I love to cook, its sometimes nice when Brian takes over the cooking for the evening. Even better, when he makes some as fantastic as this chili! I love finding great crockpot and freezer-friendly recipes. This is also one of those foods that gets even better after freezing- something about all those [...]

Sloppy joes
Brian and I are often in need of fast but tasty dinner options. What with 2 kids, jobs, and long commutes each day we unfortunately don’t often have time in the evenings to make the time-consuming but awesome dinners I’d like to prepare. Thankfully these sloppy joes are both delicious and quick and easy. It’s [...]

Chicken noodle soup
It’s that time of year again. The leaves are changing colors, the temperatures are dropping. And the cold and flu season is upon us. Just ask my 4 month old, Madeline. Thankfully, just in time for this nasty illness season, I discovered this recipe for chicken noodle soup- the age old Mom Cure for ailments [...]

Venison Stew
Every year when fall rolls around, Brian heads out to his family’s cabin for deer hunting. For the last several years when he’s shot one we end up cooking the venison in the same way- pan fried in olive oil, covered in saltines and egg. It’s amazing, but sometimes a girl needs a little variety [...]

Sausage Spinach Stuffed Shells
Remember how I said that I used to not like stuffed shells? Well, now I can’t get enough of them! I concocted these when I had a package of sausage out of the freezer that I had intended on using for something else which fell threw. The spinach needed to be used so I [...]

Spaghetti Squash Marinara
Homemade marinara is something I’ve wanted to make for years- since well before my kitchen and I started getting along better. This sauce did not disappoint! As a matter of fact, while eating this for dinner we decided that we will not be buying jarred sauce anymore! This made easily enough for at least 2 [...]

Chicken stuffed shells
I adore pasta. It’s easily my favorite food group (I firmly believe it deserves it’s own place in the food groups. Fruits, vegetables, ice cream, pasta. My world is complete). Yet I have to confess that I’ve always hated stuffed shells. I must have had some really nasty ones at some point during childhood and [...]
