A few days ago, our neighbors invited us over for a quick drink and snack. I don’t like going empty handed, so I wanted to bake something quickly that I knew they’d love to nibble on. The only problem is her husband can’t eat chocolate or peanut butter. That makes making dessert challenging since so […]
The very first week we moved to Florida, I met another (amazing) mom who had also just moved here from Australia with her daughter, Isla. Isla is about the same age as Matilda and we all hit it off immediately! Fast forward a year later and we see them multiple times a week for playdates, […]
The other day, Mattie was having a playdate with a new friend who lives down the street. Some of the family is gluten-free, so I wanted to be sure to make something yummy for the playdate that was still safe for everyone to eat. Since muffins are an easy thing to whip up, I decided […]
Last week, I was in Publix and fresh pizza dough was on sale for $2! Fresh, yummy pizza dough that I didn’t have to make tonight? YES PLEASE! Problem is, we actually had pizza the night before so I decided to use the dough for a dessert instead. Initially, I thought cinnamon rolls, but time […]
The girls have been begging me for some cookies recently and I thought, well, why not, right? It is summer after all. And to be honest, who doesn’t love a good cookie! So I made these amazing cookies and OMG guys, they’re so so amazing! Soft with a little crunch, deep flavor but not a […]
Last weekend, my parents came to visit us for the first time since February and we had the absolute best time! We did nothing but hang in the house, read, do puzzles, eat, eat and eat some more! You know, all of our favorite things! 🙂 Well, I wanted to make something bit and yummy […]
Inspired by @katieleekitchen ‘s Peach Caprese Salad, this salad had me screaming summmmerrrrr for lunch today. A fresh nectarine, sweet cherries, creamy burrata, soft fresh herbs, topped with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Yummy! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
On July 4th, we had a friend come over with her daughter for a holiday playdate and I wanted to make all the girls a fun and festive snack. All we had in the fridge was watermelon and blueberries, so after a quick search on Pinterest, I decided to make Patriotic Fruit Firecrackers. Now, I […]
I don’t know about your family, but we LOVE to snack… it’s a serious thing here! Breakfast time… snack snack snack… lunchtime… snack snack snack… dinnertime… snack snack snack… sleep, repeat! The thing about snacking though is I find we reach for the things that are on hand, which tend to be either fruit or […]
This weekend is Memorial Day, which kicks off the unofficial start to SUMMER! Woohoo! Well, I used to say woohoo until I moved to Florida. Now, I just plan to stay in the pool for the next 10 weeks. Oh, and make s’mores. But, not the kind of s’mores you cook over a fire, because, Florida. […]
