I’ve been totally lax about posting this month. Okay, more like nonexistent since my Happy New Year post. That’s never my intention, but sometimes life gets in the way. 😉 Work has ramped up, as it always does, once January 1 hits. (Which isn’t to say I was bored prior to that – far from […] Read more…
Welcome, 2019! I hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s Eve, spending it with the people you love. We braved the rather ugly (snow/ice-covered roads) to head out to the farm, hanging with my family. Here are a few of my favorite pics from the evening. Somehow I missed getting a picture with my […] Read more…
I’m not super big into end-of-year recaps, which I may have mentioned before. I find them to be a bit tedious – especially when all I want to do is think ahead to the next year. What’s done is done, right? But … it is fun to look back at my most popular blog posts […] Read more…

Finally Target restocked (insert praise hands!) and I could make my mom’s recipe for Gingersnap Chocolate Chip Cookies. I don’t […] Read more…
I’m always game to try a new meatball recipe. I can’t help it – I just love meatballs. (Plus a Philly Cheesesteak Meatball version? I’m in!) I’ll go to an Italian restaurant and order spaghetti and – wait for it – meatballs. Teacher Man just shakes his head and looks at me funny. He thinks […] Read more…
I’ve been following North Wild Kitchen’s blog and Facebook page for a short time and I’m enamored with her life in Norway, her gorgeous photos, and all those recipes! That’s why I adapted one of her recipes and made Cranberry Cinnamon Sweet Buns with Orange Glaze. Bakers are whipping up all the Christmas cookies this […] Read more…
