Come Fall, I like to make a soup every week. It’s a bit of comfort food + soup is a great way to get more fruit/veggies into my life. And, kids surprisingly love soup too. If you make it fun to make with them (my daughter LOVES peeling onions, which is great because I hate […]

Grilled Maple-Glazed Acorn Squash
I made this for dinner (again) tonight and it’s so so so so so good. You can really use any seasoning, too, because like most squash, acorn squash is a blank canvas and absorbs the flavor you put into it. It’s super tender and full of flavor. It’s the perfect Fall side dish.

My husband, Trevor, LOVESSSSSS honey mustard. It’s a weird obsession that we non-honey-mustard-loving-people don’t understand. Never-the-less, I made some homemade honey mustard to cook this chicken and apple recipe in and it’s tasty! The honey really makes the mustard less sharp which we both loved. So maybe all I needed to be converted was a […]

Homemade Edible Play-doh
When Amelia was little, she used to put everything in her mouth. And now that Matilda is at that same age, she does the same thing! I tried to find ways of making any toy that looked like food edible so that if either of them ate it, it wasn’t toxic. This play-doh recipe does just […]
The Best BBQ Ribs Ever
Katie Lee makes a mean bbq rack of ribs and this is a her recipe. There’s a lot of down time from baking to grilling but it’s worth the time investment. Buy meaty ribs so you can really enjoy the flavor of the rub. The different cooking methods really bring out the smokey flavors. And the […]
