• Why I Took the MRT (Mediator Release Test) and a Health Update

    Tuesday, April 21, 2015

    Hey! Hi. I forgot how much I love writing in this space. I’ve taken quite the hiatus from blogging (#noregrets) but so much has happened in my journey to healing that I felt like I needed to write it all down. Get it out of my head and make sense of it, you know? Let’s […]

  • Healthier Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Giants

    Friday, October 10, 2014

    Hold on to your hats, people! I actually captured a photograph of something edible. Something delicious. Something for YOU!

  • Gloria.

    Wednesday, July 23, 2014

    This girl! Gloria Katherine (after her grandma) came on the scene at 1:37PM on May 30. Easiest labor yet for me- after a morning chiropractor visit and a quick stop for a cheeseburger, we got to the birth center and she was born within the hour. We have been soaking up all the baby sweetness […]

Classic Sick Day: Chicken Soup

Here I am. Sick, sick, sick. I usually don’t get sick – it’s not really my thing. But I am, and all I could think about making for myself was chicken soup. I didn’t have my grandmother’s recipe on hand for chicken corn soup, so I found this recipe from Martha. It was just what […]

Throwback Recipe: Blackened Catfish

Make Ahead Meals: Spinach and Proscuitto Lasagna

Some days are busier than others. The day I made this lasagna for my husband, I was running around the house, trying to get ready for work, had a towel on my head, and still managed to get the meal in the fridge and out of the house on time. How? Because it’s insanely easy. […]

A quick and delicious way to start your day: Martha’s buttermilk waffles. I think waffles are even easier than pancakes- you don’t have to watch them or flip them- the waffle maker does all the work. Great with butter and syrup or fresh fruit topping.. or try out some of Martha’s toppings!
