Today is the type of day when nothing fills my heart more than my work as mommy and the kids that grant me that title! We had such a beautiful morning: up cooking bright and early while Cal napped and Max bustled about, ran an errand, played at the park, went for a walk at…
This is one of my GO-TO recipes! I always have the ingredients on hand and I can make it with my eyes closed; it is delicious, filling, and feeds an army (which I’m not sure Andy likes because if I don’t freeze half of it or give some away, the two of us eat it…
I spend a LOT of time in the kitchen. You can imagine, I make a ton of dishes and, without a dishwasher, I spend almost as much time cleaning up as I spend cooking and eating! What’s my favorite way to pass the time? I’m so glad you asked :) Have you heard of Telling the Truth?…

Looking for a super easy, super healthy lunch? Look no further!

Right now, for a number of reasons, I have a heightened awareness of the gift of life, love, family, and friends. There is so much for which…
Oh, I love this dainty, moist little cake. It is sweet, but not overly. And the use of olive oil, honey, and whole wheat give it a rich, rustic flavor; absolutely perfect with (my favorite) a good cup of coffee! Certain foods resonate with certain events, and this feels to me like a wonderful recipe for showers, ladies luncheons,…
A little while back I wrote about my Quinoa Craze and shared the sweeter side of this wonder-“grain” with my Oatmeal Quinoa Breakfast Bake! Today’s recipe lends itself to the more savory, seasoned side of quinoa and makes for an awesome side dish, or you could even throw in some shredded chicken for a convenient one-dish dinner (or easy take-to-work…
This post tucks neatly into the category of “better late than never!” Do you remember why I started the series sharing Our {Real Food} Journey? I do…a couple weeks ago, I joined together with Cathartic Cuisine, Rawfully Wonderful, and The Ironstone Nest for our 1st (hopefully annual) Food Revolution Dinner! We had an ENTIRELY HOMEMADE, remarkable spread of Focaccia &…
