I know it’s not supposed to be, but sometimes – food is comfort. Sometimes, food is love. Food can bring back good memories and make us think of happy things. When my kitchen is warm and filled with scents of baking raisins, I’m immediately brought back to my childhood and the […]
Sometimes, you just need a little comfort food. I don’t know about you – but apple crumble and apple pie are one of those warm, gooey, delicious treats that I could pretty much eat any time. And since I’m getting a bit sick on Halloween candy (zero willpower + 3 bags […]
I’ve been looking for something new to bake that I can throw into lunches and my kids will happily eat. Dee, my friend with three little rug-rats as well, sent me her take on this recipe. (I changed it around based on what I had in my cupboard). But the […]
I can’t stop eating these. It might be because it’s fall and as soon as the air starts to cool, I get into baking/nesting/eating mode. It could be because these are amazingly delicious. Who knows? All I’m certain of is that these are really good – and they’re another treat I’m […]

If there’s one thing for certain in life, it’s that Fridays are made for pizza. We LOVE pizza in this house and I just don’t ever see that changing. Ordering out is always an easy way to get a yummy dinner, nice and fast. But sometimes, when we’ve still got […]
I’ve been hearing a lot about Black Bean Brownies lately, so I decided I needed to try them out on my little taste-testers. “I don’t like black beans!!” my 6-year old immediately protested. “I have a feeling you’re going to like these. They’re chocolate.” Music to her ears. I recruited […]
Whenever I want my house to instantly smell like holidays and warmth and fall and happiness all rolled into one, I throw a batch of granola in the oven. (Emotional eater, much??) This recipe is much-loved in my house. All three of my kids request it for breakfast, lunches and […]
