Let me preface this post by saying I am honestly not much of a salad person. Don’t get me wrong, I will eat them, order them at restaurants, but I rarely make them myself. This is for a few reasons: 1. I always seem to forget about the greens in my fridge and they turn toContinue reading “Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad”

Bourbon Apple Pie
A looming due date creates all sorts of projects for me – cleaning, organizing, packing hospital bags, readying the baby room, and even baking pies. Actually, it was not a looming due date that caused me to bake these two pies, but the return of family from out of town. Eric’s sister and her familyContinue reading “Bourbon Apple Pie”
Egg, Hash-brown & Sausage Breakfast Casserole
This simple 4 ingredient breakfast casserole is perfect for serving a large group or saving for leftovers. My mother in law brought a similar one for our Christmas brunch and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Since I didn’t have her recipe, I winged it and was quite pleased with the results. We hadContinue reading “Egg, Hash-brown & Sausage Breakfast Casserole”
S’mores Cupcakes
I dreamed up these bad boys in celebration of Eric’s birthday celebration with our families. I made them late Saturday evening after a day-long celebration of kids’ birthdays at a friend’s house and then later at Chuck E. Cheese. This was Greta’s first time at Chuck E. Cheese and she was not at all disappointed.Continue reading “S’mores Cupcakes”
Quinoa, Roasted Veggies & Sardine Toast
As I head into the third trimester, I can’t say that I have boundless energy for much aside from the essentials. However, I have been trying to avoid simply eating the first thing I happen come across and instead, eat well-rounded meals that include lots of veggies. I know how important it is to eatContinue reading “Quinoa, Roasted Veggies & Sardine Toast”
Black Bean & Carrot Veggie Burgers
I first made these vegetarian and gluten-free burgers back in January when we had some friends over for dinner, and forgot about them until now. I decided to make them again, according to my scribbled notes, I was pleasantly surprised at their end result. It is a recipe I originally made up as I wentContinue reading “Black Bean & Carrot Veggie Burgers”
Coconut Red Curry & Veggies
This simple and pleasing curried vegetable classic comes from a spurt of energy due to an Iowa warn-up. Last week we actually had a a couple balmy, sunny days. It was enough to give me hope for spring! It actually warmed up enough to melt almost all of the snow and go without jackets aContinue reading “Coconut Red Curry & Veggies”
Baby Shower + Gluten Free Dairy Free Waffles
Last weekend I hosted a baby shower for my sister, Caroline, and another childhood friend, Hannah. Sadly, the few photos I took of guests turned out a hot blurry mess (trying to juggle too many tasks, methinks) and I don’t have one of Hannah. So, Hannah, or the moms, if you have one of theContinue reading “Baby Shower + Gluten Free Dairy Free Waffles”
Banana Coconut Muffins
Oh my goodness, are these muffins ever delicious! They have the flavor of banana, a slight crunch of chia seeds, and yet none of the gluten, dairy, refined sugar, or vegetable oils that most muffin recipes have. I guess this recipe might be what the pinners are calling these days a clean eating recipe. Well,Continue reading “Banana Coconut Muffins”
