I’m always on the lookout for healthy snacks to stock my pantry with, so I was pretty excited last week my mom showed up with homemade fruit roll ups! She has apple trees at their farm which she makes into applesauce and from there it’s just a matter of cooking a layer of it in …

It’s no secret that I love my crock pot. I unashamedly use it year round, and owe a sincere thank you to the person who invented it. Since Emersyn and Mckinley were born, my appreciation and dependence upon this amazing small appliance has probably quadrupled and it now ranks right up there with the pacifier …
Strawberry Orange Julius
Baylen’s been working on those pesky two year molars lately, and after a trip to the doctor today, it was confirmed that he also has a pretty raw throat. Poor little man. So tonight I made him a Strawberry Orange Julius to help his little throat feel better and soothe his sore gums. The past …

Cookie Dough Cream Cheese Freezer Pie
On a hot day like the one we’re having in Minnesota, I can’t think of much that sounds better than ice cream, or this ice cream type pie. The pie recipe comes from Jake’s mom, and is one of our very favorites. I’m a sucker for my oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough, so I added that, although …

Beergaritas
Some nights after the kids go to bed, Jake and I like to sit out on the deck and enjoy a “Mommy and Daddy” drink. Let’s be real, there are evenings when we treat it as a well-deserved prize for persevering through the crabby supper hour! I usually end up pumping shortly after the kids …
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Lately when Jake gets home from work we’ve been taking advantage of the beautiful weather by strapping the kids in the stroller and going for a family walk. Our destination is usually a playground for Baylen to climb around on. There are so many parks in our neighborhood, and since we’re new to the area, …
Potbelly Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
For the last month or so I’ve been on the hunt for a really good oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe. I mean, all moms should have a go to recipe, don’t ya think? There’s just something so cozy and welcoming about having a jar full of homemade cookies. Anyway, I’ve tried several recipes, some that …
