Hey everyone! Long time no recipes. I’ve decided to go back to my roots. Almost 9 years ago I started this blog as a way to save recipes that we’ve tried and loved; a virtual recipe box, so to speak. Eventually a few people started reading it and it grew larger...
It’s winter in Michigan. Meaning that (barring the last week or two) it’s cold and snowy. After what feels like months of winter (and the resulting months of minor colds) we’ve been looking for some serious comfort food. I came across a recipe for jambalaya and after making just a...
Like virtually every other family in existence, from time to time we get stuck in a big dinner rut. Tacos, pasta, chicken, lather, rinse, repeat. So recently I decided that it was time to break the streak and make something new and different for dinner. I pulled out cookbooks...
I’m sure it’ll come as no surprise to you, since we’re a house with 2 young children, to hear that we eat our fair share of mac & cheese around here. It’s tasty, it’s quick…but not super healthy most of the time. So, when I came across this recipe for...

I’ve made a few different potato soups in the past, all of them good. But for some reason when I wandered across this recipe when browsing Pennies on a Platter I just couldn’t get it out of my mind. A few days after finding this recipe I made it for...
I firmly believe every busy mom needs to have a few dinnertime tricks up her sleeve. This, dear friends, is one of mine. It’s quick, it’s simple, and it’s pretty tasty. A great weeknight dinner that my kids devour. Sure, it’s not exactly Beef Wellington, but who says every night...
