Things I Love Thursday – My Henckel Knife
I have this 7″ Santoku knife and I’m just a wee bit in love with it. If I wasn’t already married, I might set my cap for it. I use it every time I cook. It’s a fairly heavy knife, but that’s … Continue reading

WFMW ~ Early Bedtimes
I’m a firm believer in a 7:30 bedtime for our kids. There are lots of reasons for it. The most important one is that, in the hectic craziness that is our two-full-time-jobs-two-young-kids life, it’s very hard to find time to spend together … Continue reading

Works for Me Wednesday ~ Make-Ahead Lunches
I am not a good lunch-packer for Jet. I’m just not. For awhile this year, he had two Lunchables each week, two peanut butter sandwiches, and pizza from school on Fridays. A few weeks ago, Jet told me that he … Continue reading

Happy Birthday (Recipe)
Here’s the thing about this dessert: I have no idea what it’s actually called. My sister-in-law made it one time several years ago, and for awhile we called it the angel-food-cake-pudding-thing-you-know-the-one-with-cherries. Awkward. Then I made it for my mom’s birthday … Continue reading

Homemade Pizza
As I’ve worked to lose weight, I’ve learned to make healthier choices. My family loves pizza, but we just couldn’t afford (financially or calorically) to order take-out regularly. I have many fond memories of making homemade pizza with my Grandad … Continue reading
