Sunday Browns
One of my absolute favorite one pan breakfasts – this is Sunday Browns. Not only is it delicious and filling, its a great way to clean out the fridge of leftovers or those last 5 cherry tomatoes. All you need are potatoes, onions and eggs as your base. Then get creative. I like to sauté…

Oh soooo addictive: granola bars
Well, she’s here! Our second baby girl was born in late March and our amazing Mom’s Club helped feed my family the first month!! I remembered from our first how much help the homemade dinners were. But this time around, with a four year old to feed too, the dinners were a life saver. Just…

Banana Bread – the search for a great recipe
It’s getting better, my quest for the perfect slice of banana bread made at home. I have a food memory from childhood of a toasty, banana-y, buttery banana bread slice served at my grandma’s house. I’m sure it was store-bought. But I’m on a mission to try to recreate that memory taste. Today’s recipe is…

Scrumptious Breakfast Bars
I found this recipe on Smitten Kitchen. Like she says, it’s a recipe that is really flexible. Whatever your little breakfast heart desires, you can add to these bars (well, maybe not sausage or chicken fried steak breakfast desires but any dried fruit, nuts, seeds, flours…ya’ know, California type breakfast stuffs 🙂 These are perfect…

Making Room In the Fridge For Thanksgiving
We often have remnants of veggie odds and ends in our crisper. I’ll usually make a quick soup with the veggies, broth and some thyme and oregano. It’s a family staple. But I thought I’d try something new since I also had a bunch of eggs from the girls (our chickens). This is also a…

Blueberry Crumb Cake
Do you ever have a craving that the grocery store just can’t satiate? Add to that an overwhelming desire to just sit on the couch and do nothing, and you might not be able to curb that craving. However, this recipe is so easy and delicious it’s super easy to get motivated. Make this for…

Warm and Comforting Oatmeal
I really don’t understand how oatmeal got a bad wrap. It’s similar to mashed potatoes from a comforting perspective. It can be sweet or savory. It gives us tons of energy and it can be as healthy or as unhealthy as you’d like. And it’s super easy to make. What’s not to like about this…

Cooking by the Camp Fire
I went all out at this year’s annual 4th o’ July camping trip. No, I didn’t stay up late, hooting and hollering over charades. In fact, I was in bed before the kids most nights. And no, I didn’t start my day with Mary’s and continue with beers/wine until sundown. Rather, I prepped and cooked…

Breakfast Fried Rice, a family staple
Ever since munchkin started eating solids, rice has been the starch option for the majority of our dinners. I make it at night for our dinner and then use the leftovers for her favorite breakfast: steamed rice and eggs (often with spinach or other greens in the eggs). (pro tip: steamed rice freezes perfectly. Put…
