If you are keeping up around here, you know it has been months since I’ve shared a recipe with you. But I’m sure you are in the same boat as me, surviving Covid with all its emotional weight. Taking pictures of food has been a low priority amidst suddenly homeschooling and battling loneliness and impatience. […]
The sweetest girl in the whole world just had her first birthday. I am honestly still a bit stunned that she is a year old. That whole third-child thing? It’s real. Time is legit zooming by way faster than it did with Jake or Caitlin. Back when I was 42 weeks pregnant with a baby […]
Question: What do you serve your family when they visit for Thanksgiving? I’m not talking about the big meal. I’m sure you do the whole turkey and pie thing. (Or maybe you like to order takeout Chinese, who knows?) I’m talking about the rest of the meals. When your out-of-town family comes to stay for more than […]
She’s here, she’s here, she’s here! Introducing my lovely little daughter, Violet. She started out a tiny little squirt, despite arriving nearly two weeks late! You will have to pardon my delay in posting (she is nearly 3 weeks old now!), but life with three kiddos has been beautifully exhausting. I am still right in […]
How in the world did my son turn 5? It’s not like the days or years have felt short; I honestly can’t even remember (because it seems so long ago) what my life was before this kid made me a mom. It’s just that I remember so clearly thinking he would be small forever. That […]
A few weeks ago, I told Sarah of Well Dined that all I wanted to do this Fall is bake, bake, bake, and I wondered whether she would mind eating nothing but cookies for lunch when we got together. She thoughtfully responded that we should make empanadas. And after we made these, we congratulated ourselves […]
About a year ago, a good friend of ours left a bottle of spiced rum at our house, as a gift. To be honest, neither of us are big cocktail drinkers. And so, the bottle of rum has gathered dust in the cabinet. But then, as part of the Secret Recipe Club challenge for October, I […]
Now that it’s Fall, I am going to be all about the baking. And what do we think of when we think of Fall? (No…it’s not just pumpkin.) Leaves! Leaves turning orange and red and dripping from the trees and crunching underfoot. I think maple should feature as prominently in our Fall lineup as all the […]
I have never liked pumpkin pie. I know I’m not alone in that. Because of pumpkin pie, I believed until well into my adulthood that I hated all pumpkin things. Thank God I got over that! But seriously, pumpkin pie is not the only way to enjoy your pumpkin this Thanksgiving. And why do pie […]
I fell off the thankfulness train a little bit. And I’m going to climb back on. But first, I have to tell you what happened to me last week: The pediatrician told me I have to give up eating dairy, because Caitlin is most likely allergic to it. Major sad face. And just in time […]
