I never have good snack ideas for kids. If I can get three reasonably healthy meals for six people on the table every day, I feel pretty good about myself. So when hungry kids show up around 3pm, demanding food and proclaiming they’re starrrrving and might possibly die, I’m always caught off guard. But they’re all […]
Delicious Irish Cream Bundt Cake Recipe
I love a good bundt. They’re so cool looking. I really want one of those fancy bundt cake pans that look like a castle or a bunch of flowers or something, but for now I must settle for my plain ol’ bundt. Doesn’t matter, though. Plain bundts are just as tasty. And I do believe […]
Delicious Instant Pot Recipes: Chocolate Oatmeal
I held out on buying an Instant Pot for a long time. We have a lot of kitchen appliances. My husband is obsessed with weird ones from the 1960s that he finds at thrift stores (kebob turner, anyone? Space-age salad spinner that comes with its own pedestal? Please? Take that and I’ll throw in the […]
21 Deliciously Tasty, Easy Soup Recipes
It’s soup week at our house. Everyone went back to school this week, after a long (looooong) winter break…and every single club or sport or whatever decided they needed to meet right now since no one’s been doing anything for two weeks. Also, Girl Scout cookie season is fast approaching which means lots of meetings and […]

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 […]
Macadamia Nut Milk Breakfast Smoothie
We’ve been trying out different kinds of nut drinks around here. We’re big on almond milk…and coconut water. So when we had a chance to try out macadamia nut milk, we were all over it. Which is good, because macadamia nut milk is really healthy for you. Like most nuts, macadamia nuts are full of […]
Spooky Halloween Popcorn
OK, so — y’all know me. I don’t do scary. No haunted houses or scary movies or ghost stories. I only made it through “Stranger Things” with all the lights on and my husband sitting next to me. But I do love funny and quirky, so that’s what we do for Halloween around here. Today, I’m over at See Vanessa Craft, […]
Deliciously Simple Apple Snickerdoodle Muffins
We’re on a roll with the breakfast ideas this week, but these Apple Snickerdoodle Muffins may confuse you. Are they a breakfast? A dessert? A snack? Yes. Mostly what they are, though, is really frigging good. I had them for breakfast, snack, and dessert…and then I sneaked bits of them throughout the day in between. They’ve got […]
7 Fun Brazilian Foods to Try With Your Kids
I’ve been craving Brazilian food lately. This is odd, because we don’t really cook it here. But after the Olympics, I had friends who stayed in Brazil and took lots of pictures of their food, which made me jealous. Around the same time, I met a group of bloggers at Five on Black, and that […]
