You know what’s hard? Blogging. You know what’s also hard? Being a parent. You know what’s STUPID hard?? Being a blogging parent. Especially one who trades baby duty with her spouse, so that really, the only time you truly have to sit down and edit pictures and write a blog post is after that baby…

Gingerbread Biscotti
Another holiday season, another biscotti flavor, amirite? It’s times like this I really wish I could just make all the biscotti all the time and never stop ever. Watch out, the future of my blogging may be “Fresh April Biscotti” real soon. No, but really… One cannot live on just biscotti alone, and a blog…
Apple, Quinoa, and Almond Kale Salad
Although this space is absolutely not a space to discuss politics, I just want to stop for a second and talk about kindness before I talk about this gorgeous salad. And yes, the two are actually related. The kindness and the salad. Not politics and my salad. That was a weird sentence. The world, specifically…
Classic Pumpkin Pie
Oh, heyyy, November. When did you get here?? Wasn’t it just Labor Day and 80 degrees? Actually, it was just 80 degrees last week here in southeastern PA, because WHY NOT throw the people of Pennsylvania who are expecting crunchy leaves and cool crisp air for a huge loop? I was just reminded (thanks to…
Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Needless to say, we were snotty, sneezy, coughing messes all last week, and thankfully, somehow, the little dude has stayed healthy…
Make Ahead Meal: Breakfast Casserole
Happy hump day, friends! I’m bringing a new series to the blog: make ahead meals. I already have a few more in mind for this summer because, let’s face it, Matt and I have quite an adventure ahead of us, and while we sure do love to meal prep on Sundays… Life has gotten super cray,…
Black Bean Veggie Burgers
We made it! Thank goodness! It’s finally officially summer. Although, I don’t really care what the calendar says. In my mind, as soon as Memorial Day hits, it’s summer time. I think you likely agree, since summer is essentially the best time of year ever. I mean, I absolutely love fall for its Goldilocks weather, but not a whole…
Protein Packed Homemade Italian Dressing
I know that healthy choices aren’t anything new here, but you’re probably finding it a little difficult to get excited about salad dressing when I have things like sprinkle-filled cookies, cake that tastes like popsicles, and mint chocolate chip pie in the recent archives. Sorry, friends. I promise, you’ll be pretty excited about this dressing by…
