One of the greatest blessings I enjoy in this life is having a village to raise my children in. I love having good friends I can laugh with. Friends that support us and show up for us and eat with us and we have so much of that it isn’t even fair. We started this …
I\’m cold. It’s cold. It was time for soup. Warm, comforting, delicious soup. With kale, because then I can feel healthy about it! Look at me eating more veggies like a resolution-keeper in January! This easy to make homemade zuppa toscana soup is amazing the day you make it and gets better and better through …
I grew up with the traditional cranberry sauce from the can. The goal was always to slide the smooth, jelly-like sauce out of the can perfectly and retain the ridges and can shape. I had no idea making cranberry sauce was so easy-it seemed hard and low-priority in the scheme of holiday-cooking so I didn’t bother …
I have grown to love hibiscus tea. It is the perfect drink on a hot day. I first tried it at a Cinco de Mayo celebration and it has become a favorite summer drink for me (hence Agua de Jamaica). I just had to learn how to make it from scratch because the mixes just …

I\’m constantly on the look-out for good recipes and suggestions, and I\’m hoping this opens me up to some input. Growing up I was very involved in …
Tomorrow I\’ll be talking about my meal planning process, and today I\’m posting about my weekly meal plan. I\’ve set a goal to share weekly what we’re eating for the week in an effort to share recipes and look for input and suggestions-so share if you have any! THIS WEEK: SUNDAY: One-Pan Chicken Burrito …
This is my most favorite apple pie recipe I\’ve found so far. In the past I\’ve made apple pie and it always comes out of the oven watery after baking for an hour and I don’t like it until it’s been in the fridge for a day to gel up. I am not that patient. …
This is THE BEST pie crust recipe I\’ve ever had. It has turned out every time, it’s fairly simple to make (as far as pie crusts go) and it tastes AMAZING. I\’m really into crust though. I like it thick and sweet and I want it to be the star when I make pie. It …
Back in college my roommate made the most amazing cookies-pumpkin chocolate chip, something I\’d never had before. They were moist, chocolatey and pumpkiny-everything you want for a halloween-season treat. The recipe was simple-a box of spice cake mix, a bag of chocolate chips and a can of pumpkin-that was it! So easy and so …
