Among the many benefits of children (legos everywhere, sloppy kisses, and tender, “I wuv you”s) is the ever increasing opportunity to bake. I’d never considered myself much of a baker. I had one cake recipe in my repertoire. (It is killer!) So when my then nearly 5-year-old asked me to make him a strawberry cake […]
It’s the cold and flu season, and both of these viruses and others are running rampant through schools, work places — and our homes. We’re all desperate to find a way to fight off these germs, aren’t we? We wash our hands, scrub our counters and our little ones, and teachers everywhere are pumping gallons […]
I want to share a little snippet into the beginning of my journey to become the best version of myself with help from the keto diet. This year, my resolution was mainly to not to get pregnant again. (LOL) My babies are EVERYTHING, but two kids in diapers is not cheap! On a more basic note, […]
What’s for dinner? Whether the answer is carry-out, leftovers, fine dining, or a home cooked meal — it’s a question that demands an answer. Seven days a week. 365 days a year. What’s for dinner?

Probably it’s infused with some whine, some urgency, and/or some demand. […]
Variety is the spice of life, or so they say. In my life, variety is the spice of life in my kitchen only. Cooking new recipes is my favorite! The rest of the time? I love structure, routines, and predictability. (Do not throw me a surprise party, please and thank you.) Before baby, a sample […]
There are SO many approaches to introducing baby food to your little ones that it can be a little overwhelming. Purees. Mesh Feeders. Baby Led Weaning. The options are endless, and sometimes it feels like if you choose the W. R. O. N. G. option your baby will hate solid food, be a a picky eater, […]
I don’t know about you, but in the morning when I wake up? I’m hungry! My husband is fine with a bowl of cereal and a cup (or three) of coffee. But me? If that’s all I eat, I’m famished an hour later. We haven’t introduced a “breakfast” meal for our little man yet, but that’s […]
