Not only is it apple picking season, but it’s also pumpkin season! I definitely love to get my fill of apples and pumpkin because the season for both is so short. I will literally put pumpkin in anything too – yogurt, cake, sauces, cereal, muffins, you name it! It’s so so easy, and so so […]
Amelia has pretty much always had an aversion to green foods. No matter what I did (and believe me when I say I’ve tried every method of getting green food into her), she really wouldn’t eat much green food even as a baby. I remember making these muffins thinking she would definitely love them because […]
The other day, we had an unexpected snow storm so we were stuck inside ALL DAY LONG. Because it was unexpected, I didn’t have all the ingredients for most things I wanted to make. But luckily, I had pumpkin. These pumpkin cookies are so yummy and easy to make, so they’re perfect to make with […]
Yesterday was Halloween and we had so much fun going trick-or-treating. But now our cabinets are FULL of candy! While eating the little chocolates all night long sounds great (especially York Peppermint Patties with a glass of Pinot Noir – it’s amazing, trust me), I wanted to make some kind of cake with them […]

I can’t help but think of Thing from The Addams Family when I see these creepy hands coming out of my pot pie. Well, they’re not that creepy – I traced Amelia’s hand so they are a little more cute than creepy. The pot pie filling is made pretty quickly on the stove and instead […]
I’m really enjoying making all of the Halloween food this week and so is Amelia! She’s never eaten so much food and it’s all because she is so into Halloween this year. She’s going to be a “friendly ghost” so I’ll have to do an extra special ghost something soon (more on that another day). […]

Just kidding, it’s spaghetti squash bolognese, but you can easily fit this into your Halloween party and dinner menus. It might even excite your kids to try something new! This is a low-carb, fully balanced dinner with all the sauce, […]
Stuffed spiders…. mmmm! That is, if they’re really just portobello mushrooms and not real spiders. Ha! These have crunch. Creaminess. Zing and all sorts of amazing flavors. They have a lot of steps but it’s worth it. You can clean the gills out of the mushrooms or not. I do. It just depends on your […]
