How dinner went down: April 1st-7th
Welcome to the in-law edition of How Dinner Went Down. My in-laws, otherwise known as Nana and Poppy, are visiting. This always makes dinner a little bit different than usual as I try to accommodate everyone's tastes and preferences. It turned out to be a great week of ...
Scenes from Easter
Easter in our part of the world... Egg hunting Egg coloring More egg searching on Easter morning A new bike! Testing it outside With Nana and Poppy Our vegan Easter dinner that included Vegetable Wellington that was made with carrots, leaks, and garlic and a white bean ...
Barley risotto with asparagus
One of my favorite recipes from the cookbook Vegan Yum Yum is the creamy tomato barley risotto. That recipe opened a whole new world for me of risotto-like dishes cooked with barely. The beauty of the recipe is in not just its delciousness, although it is amply delicious, but in its simplicity. ...
How dinner went down: March 25-31
Oh, what a week. If you read my 10K training update post, you know I've felt like I'm running on fumes lately. At the end of last week, Tim was convinced it was diet related and I needed "more protein and iron." In Tim's world, this translates to "you need to eat more meat." Instead of waging a ...
Healthier make-ahead frozen French toast sticks
Since adding a second child to our family, I have learned to not necessarily work harder, but work smarter. Meghan's been asking for French toast for breakfast often, and as much as I would love to be able to comply and make it fresh for her, some mornings that just isn't possible. I had a few ...
How dinner went down: March 18th-24th
First, let me apologize for no new recipe posts popping up last week. It was a doozy of a week made much harder with Luke's growth spurt and crazy short naps. He is getting back on track with his naps (night sleep is another story...) so I hope to have more time to get you some recipes this week. ...
How dinner went down: March 11th-17th
I typed out the dates in the title and had to pause for a moment. Is it really the middle of March?! When did that happen? Wow. My little man was three months old yesterday (update coming tomorrow). This introduction has little to do with dinner or food, but I just wanted to say how I wish time ...
Roasted vegetable quinoa pie
Can you feel that? The light breeze. The sunlight on your face. I don't know what the weather is like where you are at, but here in southwest Ohio, spring is in the air. It might not last. We may have one last angry snow storm to punish us for the mild winter. Either way, spring is coming ...
10 delicious ways to curb your sugar cravings without sugar
This year for Lent, I gave up sugar. Sugar is a broad term, so let me clarify. I did not give up fruit or unsweetened dried fruit. I did give up sugar, whether refined or unrefined (like Sucanat and turbinado sugar) and other high-sugar sweeteners like maple syrup and honey. Even though natural ...
How dinner went down: March 4th-10th
Anyone else feeling the effects of the time change? I definitely missed the lost hour yesterday as I felt like I was playing catch up all day. So much that this blog post didn't get written. With one child at preschool and the other one napping, I better hurry and get this done while I ...
