Wordless Wednesday: Olivia and Sophia: Recipe Hunters

Try it…you’ll like it!

In the past 18 months (geez, you’re gonna get tired of seeing me type that, but it’s important for me to be clear), I have seen a sharp decrease in my cooking. Not my cooking SKILLS mind you (cuz, I still got mad skillz in the kitchen), but just the number of nights I [...]

A Very Mickey Mouse Birthday Party

This past Saturday, we celebrated Sophia’s 3rd birthday, Mickey Mouse style. It was a simple backyard affair, with family and friends, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

I went with the basic “Mickey” head silhouette and the colors red, black & yellow. I wanted the party as DIY as possible, and [...]

Cinnamon Rolls

One of the best parts of holidays for my family is that I make a pretty unhealthy breakfast.

Cinnamon rolls and bacon.

It’s like a pound of sugar and fat to induce a coma before 10 a.m.

But, as with everything, moderation. I tend to make them a handful of times a year. The [...]

The Eventual Heirloom

For my birthday (yes, I’m still talking about that…get over it), my mom sent me a box of gifts. Inside the box were a bunch of Tupperware pieces that rocked my face–I was seriously more happy about the Tupperware than I think should be allowed (teal-colored Tupperware!)–but there was also something in the bottom [...]

Cranberry & White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sorry, nothing Saint Patricky around here. Not because I’m anti-St. Patrick’s Day or anything (quite the contrary!) I just didn’t have my act together enough to pre-plan something amazing. However, I am bringing the cookies. I guess you could use green food coloring and make these festive, so there’s that.

In the course of [...]

I’m Guest Posting! Fancy!

Today, I wrote a guest post for the AMAZING

I swear, I wish the idea for this blog had been mine. It’s awesome. Everything soup or salad? Yes please. I can personally vouch for many recipes on this site, most recently, I tried the Spicy Shrimp & Noodle Soup, which was incredibly delicious [...]

Butternut Squash Bread

Hi. I’m Natalie. I buy gourds and other vegetables that we do not normally eat, anytime they are on sale.

The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?

I did it with the Zucchini (which, by the way, I still haven’t been able to try Suzanne’s recipe, as Zucchini is now pricer [...]

Zucchini Bread: Wherein I learn to ask my friends before making things.

I bought some zucchini. It was on sale. I thought “Oh, I can sautee it up, it will be great.”

Then I was told how some people in my house were not huge fans of sauteed zucchini. Since I’ve never fried it, or didn’t really know of a good raw application, I got the [...]

Kid-friendly “Sushi”

My kids love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. If I let them, they would eat it for every single meal.

I don’t know where I originally read about PB&J sushi, but it stuck in the back of my mind, so one day I made it on a whim. Needless to say, it was extremely [...]
