Over the weekend we drove eight hours to Colorado (oh wait it was more like 12 with a toddler and a newborn) to attend my 10 year high school reunion. It was fun to see old friends and reminisce on our care-free, responsibility-free days of high school. I’ve been thinking about all that has…
Almond-Crusted Tilapia
Look who finally made some dinner. I know, my husband was shocked too. I’m slowly finding my way back into the kitchen- and not just to make dessert. Newborns are tiring. So are two year olds. A newborn plus a two year old is really really tiring. But I’m surviving, and they are…
Popcorn S’mores
I have some of the best friends and neighbors who have been bringing us meals for the last two weeks! I couldn’t appreciate it more since I haven’t had the time, the energy, or the desire to even think about making dinner. However, I’ve had no problem finding the time, mustering up the…
Caramel Cream Carrot Cake
If you missed it, sweet baby Miles arrived June 14th. I was able to have a VBAC and although my labor was long and there were a couple of scares along the way (I was THIS close to having a c-section again) it was so worth it and an experience I’m very grateful for! Baby…

Funfetti Cheesecake Bars
Okay, these babies are just down right dangerous. Brett ate half the pan the first night I made them. The next day I finally dug into them too and sent him a text saying “These bars are good! Now I know why you ate half the pan last night;)” He…
White Grape & Lime Summer Punch
I’m a sucker for ice cold bubbly drinks on a hot summer day! This White Grape and Lime Punch is the perfect summer refresher with mild carbonation and subtle flavors. It’ll be great for barbecues, pool parties, or just nice to enjoy after spending a day in the heat. And if you are entertaining,…
Crispy Smashed Roasted ‘Taters
These little Crispy Smashed Taters are the perfect side dish! Great alongside any meat you’ll be grilling this summer, make a great appetizer, or can even be just a fun snack for kids. Nice and crispy on the outside, yet soft and creamy on the inside puts them are right up there with…
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
Are the weeks flying by as fast for you guys as they are for me? Can you believe it’s already June? I can’t believe we get to meet baby boy this month! And other than the typical discomfort that comes at 38 weeks I’m feeling pretty good! I found out last week that…
The Perfect Scrambled Eggs
My husband should be writing this post. He’s actually the one who has recently perfected the egg-scrambling over here. (He knows it and he’s quite proud of it!) Now he offers to make the eggs any time we’re having them….by all means hun, go right ahead. It’s always nice to step aside and let him…
Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats
Please tell me you’re swooning at the idea of a rice krispie treat filled with chunks of angel food cake topped with fresh whipped cream and strawberries? They might just be the best rice krispie treats I’ve ever had. Believe it or not, I can’t ever seem to make good rice krispie treats, they always…
