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...
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...
Colored for Halloween, flavored for fall! I loved this soup (especially the kielbasa & sweet potato flavor combined). Next time around I’m going to make a few tweeks- I think I might actually do less of the leeks since they overpowered the sweet potato flavor I love so much- but overall...
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...
This soup is remarkably easy to prepare and is relatively quick. It’s the ultimate in comfort food! We felt it was a great way to welcome the autumn season.

Also known as Sausage, spinach, and roasted cherry tomato pasta. But that’s a super-wordy name. A mouthful (get it. food? mouthful? I’m hilarious, I know. I crack me up) Brian’s Aunt Pam is just one of those women- Her home is gorgeous and always immaculately clean, she makes 5 star...

It all started when Brian said “what are we going to do with the chicken breast in the fridge?” It ended with one of the best dinners we’ve had in a while. So good, in fact, that I’m making it again this week. Even Becca went for 2 full, huge...
I’ve been looking for a 100% whole grain pizza crust for quite some time. I love, love, LOVE this crust, and I’ve often made it w/ half wheat bread flour & half white, but the 100% wheat version was bleh. When I saw this recipe, I saved it immediately and it...
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...
