Friends, I am struggling today. The baby didn’t sleep well last night (more teething?) and I am running on fumes and a Venti Starbucks chai latte, with plans to make a big cup of night owl tea later. But for now, I’m going to tell you about a pie of which I am very proud. […]

Recipe – Homemade Double Chocolate Lactation Cookies
A little while ago, my group was all playing Dungeons and Dragons in the Storm King’s Thunder campaign, and our Level 3 characters were off to do something that was obviously a big fight and going to be meaningful – at least at this stage. We trotted off to the location, made a plan, and […]
Recipe – Dairy-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
So remember how I told you that back when I was eating dairy-free I suddenly craved chocolate chip cookies? Well, once that craving was satiated, I was hit with another craving. This craving was more normal for me, because it involved peanut butter. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve LOVED peanut butter. It is […]
Recipe – Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
As I mentioned with the lemon bar recipe, back when I was told that I should try to avoid dairy for the baby’s sake, I got hit with all the cravings. I wanted cheese, but most of all initially, I wanted chocolate. Specifically chocolate chip cookies. Which is weird, because while I do enjoy a […]
Recipe – Dairy-Free Lemon Squares
So I don’t know if I’ve said specifically what’s going on and why I’ve mentioned being dairy-free here on the blog. But a while ago at one of Baby B’s doctors appointments, we were talking about how well everything was going, and I happened to mention that her poop was green. Now, they tell you […]
Services – Foodstirs
I feel like I’ve reviewed a fair number of subscription services. From personal shoppers for clothing, to wine, to meal kits, to meal kits, to flowers…I mean, I know there are lots more things I could be looking at like beauty boxes and things for pets, but honestly, those aren’t as important to me for […]
Recipe – Chocolate Avocado Mousse
So it turns out that when you have a baby, the days all start to blur together. Even the days before you had the baby. And one of those days that happened before baby was born was Valentines Day, and it feels vaguely embarrassing that I don’t remember exactly what we did. I know it […]
Recipe – Lamingtons
I’m not sure I remember exactly the first time I ate lamingtons, but mostly because they’re not as exciting as one would hope from a “foreign delicacy”. It was probably at the Australia Day party being held by an Aussie friend I worked with, and she had a bunch of Australian foods, and that was […]
Recipe – Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
‘Tis the season for sweets of all kinds. I feel like it’s impossible to go anywhere without someone offering to load you up with sugar. The worst part for me is that I’ve got the terrible combination of killer sweet tooth + low willpower, so if there is a plate of cookies left up in […]
Personal – December #Reverb17 Week 1
We’ve reached the point of the year with Project Reverb where it goes to a daily prompt. As I already have so much to talk about, I limit myself to one post per week where I address as many of that week’s prompts as seem appropriate. If you’re interested in seeing my responses to the […]
