As we’re getting closer to D-day we’re starting to make up some foods to put in the freezer for post-birth. We had some of this done with Rebecca and it was nice to once in a while not have to worry about making dinner. We’ve kept it up a little...
I really enjoyed these muffins. I think I should start out by saying that. However, the topping? Not my favorite thing. Next time I make these I’m going to fugde the recipe a bit- leave out the lemon (most at least) and leave out the nuts topping. I really felt...
I have had this recipe on my to-make list for months now. I’m so glad I finally got around to making it. Oooo yum! Brian says this is his new favorite meal. He’d eat it every week if I agreed. It’s so simple and delicious. Just a note when you’re...

I absolutely love gingersnap cookies, but I really prefer my cookies to be softer, chewy-er than the traditional gingersnap is. Enter: These cookies. They’re marvelous. As a matter of fact, I made them last week and the next morning all but 5 of them had already been eaten. Apparently The...

You know what is a beautiful side of pregnancy? Cravings. I haven’t had many of them this time around, so when they strike I think it’s really important that I pay attention to them. So tonight, I suddenly thought to myself “You know what sounds amazing? Peanut butter cookies!” I...
