So, this was the first recipe I made out of the New York Times Cooking app. It just looked so bright and colorful in the article and newsletter that I was transfixed. Plus, I liked everything that was mentioned in the recipe title. Farro? Yes. Broccoli? Hell yes. Lemon and Tahini? Yes and yes again. […]

Recipe – Steak and Sweet Potato Bites
I am always on the lookout for quick and easy weeknight meals. Things that the family will like that don’t require hours of prep time, which involve vegetables, and aren’t going to turn the kitchen into a disaster zone. Things which won’t cost an arm and a leg, and which I will be proud of […]
Recipe(s) – Continued Adventures in Meal Prepping
Considering the fact that it’s been nearly two months since last I wrote about meal prepping, you’d think that I would have lots more recipes and tips for you. Instead, it turns out that I got burned out, and having a large chunk of your Sunday spent cooking can grate on a person. So while […]
Recipe – Cold Rice Noodles with Peanut Lime Chicken
*programming note: now that it’s August, I’m feeling slightly more ambitious about the blog, and will try to get back to posting three days a week. Keep your fingers crossed, and I reserve the right to going back to the Tuesday-Friday schedule if I get overwhelmed/unable to keep up content.* Everyone has faults, and I […]
Recipe(s) – Meal Prepping
So, as I mentioned a little while ago, I’m back at work. It’s been nearly a month now, and I feel like I’m getting into the swing of things. And one thing that has helped me enormously is getting into a routine, and making things as easy on myself as possible. This means I know […]
Recipe – Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken
Remember how I said that the slow-cooker should be my new best friend with a baby and four bigger mouths to feed? Well, after the success that I had with the broccoli cheddar soup in the slow-cooker, I decided to try something else out. And I love both garlic and lemon, and chicken is such […]
Recipe – Spring Minestrone with Meatballs
One of the things that everyone tells new mothers is to always say yes to offers of help. This goes double if those offers involve bringing food to you. I was a very lucky lady when B was born, because I had not only my mother bringing food and cooking at our house, but my […]
Recipes – Thanksgiving Foods
This year for the first time ever, I hosted Thanksgiving. “But wait,” you say, “Thanksgiving isn’t until Thursday!” Ah, my friend, but you know about how the growing trend of Friendsgivings, right? Well, my young adults group at church has been having a Friendsgiving dinner for the past three years, and this year I volunteered […]
Recipe – Spicy Sausage Kale and Potato Soup
Often when I’m writing up recipes for this blog, it’s something I haven’t made before. So I’m just as interested as the rest of you might be in how the recipe turns out. Occasionally if I am underwhelmed by the recipe (or by my creation of it), you never hear about it. Today’s recipe, though, […]
Recipe – Green Spaghetti Pie
I try to eat healthy. For a moment I almost wrote, “I try really hard to eat healthy” and before I committed to those words, I thought to myself, “do I?” I immediately decided that I don’t try as hard as I could, and so it would be disingenuous to say “I try really hard” when […]
