Pink and green dots are pretty holly jolly, don’t you think? I picked up this festive fabric at Jo-Ann’s a while back and thought it might make the perfect wrapping for some of our more girlie gifts this year. It was on super duper sale (yahoo!), so for less than a roll of paper, I…
Wrapping Week 2011!
According to my chocolate-filled advent calendar (which I’m happily eating away on until the big day arrives), Christmas is a mere 13 days away. Thirteen days!?! Can you believe it? How did it get to the middle of December already? How did the Bean get to be 5 weeks old already? Wowza. That time, she’s…
And the baking returns! Cranberry orange scones
We’ve all heard the old adage: A baby changes everything. Three weeks into this parenting thing, and I can indeed confirm that our tiny bundle has made a mountain-sized impact on life as we knew it. Although the Bean’s birth hasn’t literally changed everything — there’s still work to do, school to attend, holidays to…
And baby makes four
Well, it’s official. Our little family of three is now a little family of four (we are counting Ella pup, of course). Last week, a 6-pound-4.4-ounce bundle of love bounced her way into the world, and our lives are infinitely better because of it. Every minute that’s gone by since she made her debut has…
Do you like green, eggs and ham?
Ever since I was a little kid, every time I thought about Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham, which I still do, on occasion, for one reason or another, I always identified with the peppy, persistent, doesn’t-take-no-for-an-answer Sam I Am. Sam I Am was full of energy, full of questions and full of ideas. He…
It’s the Great Pumpkin Muffin, Charlie Brown!
Happy belated Halloween! I hope everyone had a spooky, wonderful holiday full of tricks, treats and enough sugary bliss to last until the turkeys thaw for Thanksgiving! I love Halloween for a lot of reasons, but I think I love it most because it’s the official kickoff to my favorite time of year. Yahoo, holiday…
It’s flying from the stovetop! But it’s the prettiest of soups.
Some foods are so pretty that a single look is all it takes to fall in love. Some foods taste so amazing that one bite clears away all the stress and worries of the day. And then there are some foods that look so pretty and taste so amazing that it’s impossible to decide whether…
Fall favorites: Spice-filled scones, oatmeal and cookies galore!
Last night while clicking through baby-related inspiration on Pinterest, I came across a recipe for labor cookies. Have you heard of those? Apparently, whipping up and consuming a batch of these puppies is a surefire way (notice the use of the word “apparently”) to meet your new baby bean before the week is over. Of…
A dinner shortcut — so good I feel guilty!
As a fairly regular fixture in the kitchen, I’ve started to somewhat pride myself on the homemade-ness of our little family’s meals, snacks and baked goods. We don’t buy cookies in boxes or muffins from the grocery store. Our freezer is shockingly empty save for a few things I’ve made ahead and frozen for another…
The food blogging conundrum: Saving room for favorites
Writing a food-filled blog for the past year has turned out to be a pretty fun gig. Not only have I had a chance to sharpen my kitchen skills and experiment with recipes, but Jared and I have also enjoyed our share of yumminess from the ever-changing post subjects. I’ve tried things I never thought…
