Mini Strawberry Ricotta Galettes
Have you ever tried to type something with one hand (like a blog post, for instance) while nursing a baby, hoping that you can clear your mind and get some thoughts down before your toddler wakes up? This is probably my fifth attempt in three days to do so and I’m almost positive I’ll be […]
Mini Asparagus Breakfast Galettes
Oh, good morning, HEAVEN. How did you end up on my breakfast plate? Ya’ll know I love me some breakfast and brunch. They’re the meals best known for being awesome. I have whipped up some tasty breakfasts and brunches in the past, but I think I hit the jackpot on this one, people. Picture it […]
Elliott’s Lucky Day: A Green-Themed 2nd Birthday Party
To me, planning kids’ birthday parties is one of the fun parts of parenting. I’ve always loved birthdays, but it is extra special to celebrate the little growing lives of your children. Elliott’s birthday is not actually on St. Patrick’s Day, but this year, his party was scheduled for March 17. I had two previous […]
Turnip and Potato Soup with Smoky Cheese Toasts
We are experiencing a crazy March heat wave down here. I am not ready for summer. I mean, come on.. I’m not done making soup yet! We got a big bunch of turnips last week from our farmer. At that time, it wasn’t 85 degrees, so this was the perfect lunch. I used my […]
Irish Potato Candies
Forget the corned beef and cabbage. This is how to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. I’m assuming that if you’re not from Philly or Central PA, you’ve probably never heard of Irish Potatoes. Or maybe you have (sorry for assuming, you well-informed-blog-reader, you!) Either way, you’re in for a Philadelphia-style treat. As a Pennsylvania native, I […]
Roasted Cabbage with Quick Balsamic Reduction
So St. Patrick’s Day fast approaches.. do you celebrate? I am in the midst of planning a very lucky, very green birthday party for my 2-year-old. His party falls on St. Patrick’s this year, so we decided to embrace the theme and get our green on. As you might imagine, we won’t be serving corned […]
Chocolate Beet Cake
Recently, I’ve been getting into baking full-size cakes. It seems like there are never enough occasions that call for a big, beautiful cake. After having my cupcake business in Ohio, I am much more inclined to bake cakes than cupcakes now (like the rainbow cake and the strawberry cake). Since I was experimenting with […]
Chicken, Kale and Broccoli Casserole
Let’s start this with a .. YUM. Reasons to try this recipe: It’s full of healthy greens. Dark, beautiful, curly kale and a little family-friendly broccoli. I like greens on their own, but when you add pasta and cheese? That’s a win. It’s freezable. I made the full recipe; baking up half of it for our […]
Sweet Beet Pancakes
Oh, how the times have changed. If you told me five years ago that I’d be recommending that you eat beets in any form, I would have laughed in your face. But here I am, about to tell you why you need to make beet pancakes- and soon. This weekend, I had my first experience […]
Coconut Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Lesson learned so far in life with two babies: sometimes you will just need to make cookies. In some ways, parenting two has been easier than I thought. I bounced back from the birth easier, I am actually able to get us all out of the house in a decent amount of time, I can […]
