Who here loves Stuffed Peppers? This girl is raising her hand up high. They are a personal favorite of mine and I was so excited to receive coupons for Bell Peppers in the mail this week. I love the different ways you can flavor them and how colorful and fresh they make your plate. MyContinue reading “Barbecue Chicken Bell Peppers”

Marriage, Sarcasm, and Potatoes
What does the history of the Irish Potato Famine have to do with my family? I’m so glad you asked. Let me tell you a story. Sometime ago, between 1 week or 5. I’m not sure I keep count the same anymore. Thank you, Quarantine. I made a mostly sarcastic comment to my husband aboutContinue reading “Marriage, Sarcasm, and Potatoes”
Skeletons in the Suitcase
Most of you know, I recently got back from a trip to Washington. I flew down to visit some family as they dealt with various health concerns. Life sure does not become simpler as you age, teenage me did not know what she was wishing for. The last several weeks months have been messy andContinue reading “Skeletons in the Suitcase”
Sourdough Bread with Garlic Herb Butter
Okay! So this is how I like to make my Garlic Bread; a tangy, chewy bread with a crunchy exterior and slathered in savory butter. I was, quite literally, shooing my children away from the butter mixture as I prepared this for our dinner last night. Kids with milk mustaches are cute, kids with butterContinue reading “Sourdough Bread with Garlic Herb Butter”
Zucchini Lasagna
I grew up in a home with a Type 1 Diabetic, so there are some diet practices my family adapted that were outside of the norm for my generation. This means there was no soda, juice was only available on special occasions, candy only on very special occasions, and our starches were always limited. TheContinue reading “Zucchini Lasagna”

We have been enjoying the fading summer, and connecting with each other as we dig in the dirt. All the talk of mud pies, however, had me craving someContinue reading “Chocolate Pudding”
Chicken Pot Pie Filling
Chicken Pot Pie, the ultimate comfort food. Am I right? I love one dish meals. Even better is if they include a large variety of protein and vegetables. While I am not sure I can classify Chicken Pot pie as a Health food (a girl can dream though, right?) this recipe is full of realContinue reading “Chicken Pot Pie Filling”
A Few Thoughts on Grumbling and Authenticity
We have had a rough last several weeks. Very rough, pulling my hair out, not sure anything I say or do is getting through, send me all the coffee rough. Potentially made worse by the fact that my daughter is very sensitive to caffeine in breast milk and I can only drink the fake decafContinue reading “A Few Thoughts on Grumbling and Authenticity”
Emotion Placemats with Play Dough Recipe
Parenting intentionally is hard work. The act of raising self-focused children into loving adults takes a lot out of me somedays, even though it is my driving force. My biggest wish for parenting is to raise kind humans; I strive to model compassion, to sow seeds of love, and to have healthy conversations about emotions.Continue reading “Emotion Placemats with Play Dough Recipe”
