Hello from snowy Minnesota! We awoke to a winter wonderland this morning and the news announcing that everything was canceled. To top it off, Baylen successfully got the snow day memo and slept in until 9:00! Since I had a little extra time to myself before he joined me for the day, I thought I’d …

Easy family friendly recipes my kids will actually eat!
Easy Apple Braid
As a youngster, my mom would buy butter braids from time to time and bake them for a special treat on Saturday or Sunday mornings. I have such fond memories of waking up to the sweet smell of apple and then getting to gobble down the braid with my brothers! When I found a recipe showing …
Creamy White Chicken Chili
While we were making our transition from Chicago to Minneapolis last Fall, Jake moved up here first and spent some time living with friends while Baylen and I stayed back, waiting for our house to sell in Illinois. Our friends were incredibly gracious to Jake and shared many meals with him. All it took was …
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies
Every once in a while a cookie recipe comes along that’s over the top delicious.

Snickers Bar Ice Cream Dessert

We laugh about it, but at the most random moments he’ll remember that one time when his mom made a pepperoni meatloaf that he liked, or when his high school friend’s mom made a specific kind …
Homemade Dump & Taste Chicken Soup
During the winter months a lot of soup is made in my kitchen. In particular, a lot of this homemade chicken soup. The first time I made this for Jake was back when we were in college. We had been dating a few months and he came down with a terrible cold. Wanting to impress this guy who I …
