I don’t know about you, but when it comes time to make food for someone in need, I always end up making the same thing: baked ziti. I just made a batch for my neighbors who were moving (so they could focus on the packing rather than cooking). I decided the next time I make …

I haven’t been as creative with Carl’s food lately. He’s super picky so it makes it really hard. On the other hand, he is so much more excited now by cutesy foods so maybe it will encourage him to try new things! This cute kids snack is super easy. This would be perfect for a …

Today I am sharing one of my husband’s favorite desserts, Peanut Butter Explosion Ice Cream Cake. I started to make ice cream cakes a few years ago out of necessity because my husband is really not a cake person (I know, he’s crazy). And in our house, peanut butter and ice cream go together even …

Last week I gave a little sneak peek on Instagram for today’s post. We celebrated Carl’s half-birthday (yes, my husband and I am crazy and celebrate every little thing). Since Carl’s birthday falls so close to Christmas, I told my husband that I wanted to celebrate his half-birthday as a tradition. No toys or parties, just a …

My poor husband got made into a BBQ and coleslaw sandwich for dinner the other night. Of course, I realized later that I forgot to add his glasses (well he let me know I forgot, oops!). And I wish I could say that Carl ate this, but being a picky toddler, he had no interest …

My toddler muffin recipe is a go-to when I am trying to get fruits and vegetables into my picky kid. When Carl started eating finger foods, we had a difficult time getting him to eat anything aside from grilled cheese and bananas. I tried out multiple toddler muffin recipes and eventually mixed them all together …

For Carl’s lunch, I was inspired by the geese we see constantly around our house. There is a nearby lake that the geese flock to so they fly over our house often.  My husband has been working with Carl to get him to honk when he sees them.   Carl’s favorite lunch is PB&J with …

I am so excited that Carl is finally getting old enough for me to make cute kid meals. I think it is so much fun to take a meal and make it more enticing for a child to eat. Last week I created this little sheep after a visit to the zoo. Carl especially loved …

I am so excited to share this special recipe with you today. Growing up, my Grandma was the family baker. I was lucky enough to get her baking genes (unless my family has been lying to me all these years…). When things are stressful, I find baking relaxes me. I know how crazy that sounds, but …

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Mom’s, Grandma’s, and caregivers! I am excited to be spending my day with my favorite little man, husband, and family. Who are you spending your day with? Are you doing anything special? We’re grabbing brunch with Kris’ family and then dinner with mine (at a BYOB restaurant – …
