A few weeks ago, we woke up on a Saturday morning and I asked Brian and Rebecca what they wanted for breakfast. Rebecca wanted sausage (she’s such a little carnivore) and Brian didn’t have a prefrence, so I started flipping through cookbooks and came across a recipe for biscuits and...
In one of those frustrating Mother Hubbard moments, where there seems to be nothing to eat in the house, I threw together this haphazardly and wound up with one of our new favorite meals. These tacos are veggie-friendly but tasty enough for even the most dedicated omnivore Black Bean Tacosprint...
I think Rebecca (my 3 year old) thinks I’ve been holding out on her. Every time I make chocolate chip cookies Brian snags a bite (ok 12 bites) of cookie dough before they go in the oven. I never let her have any (raw egg. 3 year old. paranoid mommy.)...

A few months ago Brian and I got an eighth of a cow and we’re now down to the last of the last of the meat in the freezer. I asked Brian to grab something out of the freezer for me to make for dinner last weekend and he brought...
We’ve decided around our house that we need to start eating more vegetables. We have so few meat-free dinners, and veggie-centric dinners that we make on a regular basis and I decided to finally start to remedy that. I’ve never tried eggplant before but I’ve been curious for a while...
My snickerdoodles are kind of famous within my family. Or is it infamous? When I was about 14, I’d say, I made a batch of snickerdoodles using my mom’s recipe. It’s one of the first clear memories I have of baking something completely by myself (although I’m sure I had...
So, funny story. A few weeks ago was my daughter Rebecca’s third birthday. All along we’d talked about the kind of cupcakes she wanted for various birthday functions that week and we’d agreed on Oreo cupcakes for The Big Day. Then, just before naptime- when I was going to be...
