Although we’re mostly a road-trip family, we took the vacation of a lifetime a few years earlier and went to Hawaii with my family. It was magical. And while my kids came back with a love for palm trees and surfing, they also came back with a new appreciation for musubi. You can pick it […]
Delicious Posole Rice Bowls Your Family Will Love
This post was sponsored by The School Nutrition Association. All opinions are my own. About a month ago, I was invited to attend the School Lunch Nutrition Association’s annual conference to learn about what goes into our children’s lunches. It was really an eye-opening experience – I had no idea of the scope of the conference, and […]
Delicious Chicken Taco Bowls For Your Family
When my kids refuse to eat something, I’ve found it’s for one of two reasons. One is because it really, truly tastes horrible and disgusting to them. Then we do things like trying it different ways, or trying it several times over a long period to see if they’ll eat it. Sometimes this works, sometimes […]
Delicious Citrus Grilled Chicken and the Perfect Summer Meal
I’m so excited that it’s finally getting nice out here. We love to grill, and there’s nothing better than sitting outside at the table, having a nice, leisurely dinner, and relaxing while the kids tear apart the backyard afterward. Actually, we love a good grilled meal year-round, and my husband has been known to fire […]
How to Make Herb Salts
Thanks to an unseasonably warm fall, my garden is hanging in there. I’m still getting some tomatoes, and I’m holding out hope that my brussels sprouts will actually have time to mature this year, instead of getting allllmost there and then getting killed off in an early morning frost. And my herbs are definitely still going […]

I don’t wanna brag or anything, but it’s been unseasonably warm here. Like, wearing shorts in February kind of warm. This is crazy and unusual and we do not take it for granted. And if there’s one thing we know about Colorado, we know that this doesn’t mean winter’s over. There’s still a good chance […]
The Best Recipes of 2015
Ohhhh, goodness! I know everyone says it, but I can’t believe it’s a new year already. Wow, that was fast. Did you go somewhere fabulous for New Year’s? I went to a friend’s, and just as I was bemoaning having to put on pants, she texted and reminded me it was a pajama party. Hallelujah […]
Simple Cranberry Sauce
I have a meat and potatoes kid. Not as in “he has an affinity for meat and potatoes.” More like “he refuses to eat anything but meat and potatoes.” Including fruits and veggies. Especially fruits and veggies. He is so ardently, adamantly against produce that he once dug through a piece of Chocolate Cherry Cake […]
Delicious Easy Carrot Souffle
Today I’d like to introduce you to Kimie Pruessner, who will be sharing a delicious carrot souffle recipe that’s great for fall. Thank you, Laura, for having me on the blog today! I’m a Dallas newborn photographer, but FIRST I’m a mom of 3 little ones (almost four little ones!) and am always on the lookout […]
9 Slow Cooker Recipes for Busy Days
School’s back in session. So far we’ve been on-time every day, with our books and lunches and instruments and everything the kids need for the day. We’ve been getting to bed mostly on-time, and eating dinner…well, almost always mostly on-time. I’m basking in the back-to-school glow, because by next Monday we’ll have gone off the […]
