This year for Mother’s Day we decided that we would have our families over to us. When I started thinking about what to make for everyone I decided it would be the perfect time to try out a few new recipes. I knew I wanted to make croissants since they’ve been...
While I love those rare moments that I can spend 4 hours in the kitchen making an elaborate meal, sometimes it’s great to have a favorite dinner that can be tossed together in less than 20 minutes. This tops my new list of favorite super-fast dinners- an absolute must for a mother...
While it may not be perfectly authentic, I absolutely love PF Chang’s. Unfortunately the closest location to us in Northern Michigan is more than 3 hours away, so we don’t get to go as often as we’d like, thus leaving me lettuce-wrap-less. Tragic, I know. Then a few weeks ago...
As I get more and more experienced in the kitchen there is a shocking revelation that becomes clearer and clearer. I, apparently, have been quite the picky eater. There are so many foods that I’ve never had before that are a pretty simple, basic, go-to food for so many...
If I had to choose, if I absolutely had to, I think beef stroganoff would be my favorite meal. But please don’t make me choose. That would be cruel. Normally when I make beef stroganoff I make the same recipe that my mom always made when I was growing up. But this...

It is my opinion that there are not enough breakfast foods that taste like dessert. There’s a small selection of coffee cakes, donuts, and the occasional breakfast cookie, but that’s about it. So, one day while I was making the oh so healthy Cranberry Almond Granola I started thinking about how...
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:...
There are certain foods that we just seem to associate with store-bought and, for my family at least, yogurt seems to be one of them. However, I love any chance to break through the status quo and challenge myself. Now, I can safely say with conviction that our yogurt will...
