The other day I took the girls to pick their own strawberries & sweet peas. I thought it’d be lovely to spend some quality time together outside on a gorgeous day but my sneaky underlying intention was I wanted to find a way to get Sam to eat a strawberry. Yup, the kid has never [...]

I made this last week & put the picture below on Instagram & Facebook & so many of you asked for the recipe that I had to put it up. There’s a bit of a secret to this dish though, it’s where the “cheater’s” comes from, (remember cheater’s broccoli cheese soup & the cheater’s chicken [...]

My only local crafty friend is leaving me. So sad. To be honest we talk more online than in person, even though we’re only 40 minutes apart & have kids the same age it’s just so darn hard to get together. Much less actually craft together. But I’m still sad to know I can’t drive [...]

I mean really, let’s break it down nice & simple. “Cookie” and “Butter” Need I say more? I believe I’ve mentioned Speculoo’s Cookie Butter before…it’s sinfully good. I’d say it tastes like a mix of cookie dough & gingerbread. They sell it seasonally at Trader Joe’s & this year I brinked on the bridge of [...]

Sometimes I cook a meal that is insanely good. Often it has zero to do with my cooking skills. It’s more that somehow the culinary stars align…I don’t know if it’s the quality of the recipe, the nature of the produce or perhaps that day I didn’t get interrupted every two seconds by somebody who [...]

This is what happens when you let your children pick their own fabric. You get mermaids mixed with cupcakes & polka dots. Somehow though, in some weird way, it kind of works, no? I’m such a sucker for my girls & I putting on our aprons to cook together. It’s so sappy sweet I could [...]
