I know it’s not supposed to be, but sometimes – food is comfort. Sometimes, food is love. Food can bring back good memories and make us think of happy things. When my kitchen is warm and filled with scents of baking raisins, I’m immediately brought back to my childhood and the […]
Sometimes, you just need a little comfort food. I don’t know about you – but apple crumble and apple pie are one of those warm, gooey, delicious treats that I could pretty much eat any time. And since I’m getting a bit sick on Halloween candy (zero willpower + 3 bags […]
I’ve been looking for something new to bake that I can throw into lunches and my kids will happily eat. Dee, my friend with three little rug-rats as well, sent me her take on this recipe. (I changed it around based on what I had in my cupboard). But the […]
Today is pizza day at my kids’ school. Can I just pause for a moment to get an amen for pizza day? It may not be the most nutritionally-sound lunch, but it means there’s a little less for me to pack. Plus, I threw in a pear, some veggies and […]
I can’t stop eating these. It might be because it’s fall and as soon as the air starts to cool, I get into baking/nesting/eating mode. It could be because these are amazingly delicious. Who knows? All I’m certain of is that these are really good – and they’re another treat I’m […]

If there’s one thing the internet is not lacking, it’s banana bread recipes. There are tons and tons of them out there. But this one is by far the best that I’ve attempted to make because it’s super easy (which is key for me) and it’s healthy. There’s no white sugar, […]
This morning started out well. I woke up. Worked out. Got the endorphins going. The kids all woke up in a good mood. Then things took a turn for the worse. First, nobody would listen to me – which actually isn’t that out of the norm for a weekday morning. […]
My friend Dee is just as obsessed as I am with her kids’ lunches. And, like me, she has three little ones to pack for. (Two school-aged, one who just loves to eat what his big brothers do!) She sent me this shot of their lunch today and I immediately […]
