Christmas is looking like a distant memory, but I wanted to journal about what we ate for Christmas this year, if for no other reason than to help me remember for next Christmas. Christmas Eve was at dad’s house and I only had to bring appetizers and a salad. For apps, we made a...

Last night, I hosted my third annual Christmas Cookie Exchange party. It’s become a tradition that I look forward to each year. I always host the party the Monday before Christmas — it gives me the weekend to cook and clean, and once I’ve gotten everything ready for the party, I feel like my...
It’s one week til my annual Christmas cookie party and I can’t decide what to make. The Contenders: Amish Ginger Cookies I like the idea of a ginger cookie, I also like that these look fairly simple to make. Gingerbread Cookies I’m definitely making these with the kids this year, the question...

Last night, I had some ladies over to enjoy a night out (in) and check out some fine jewelry. Since the air has turned cool, it seemed like a good night to make this delicious apple crisp. I got the recipe from a friend from my mom’s group and I love it because it...

A year later, with another kiddo slated to start kindy, I began to revisit the lunchbox options. The old lunchbox wasn’t bad, but,...
Sam loves to learn how to do new things and loves to help in the kitchen. I confess, I’m not always eager to have the kids underfoot, but Mike has been great about teaching them. Sam and Wendy learned to crack eggs at a young age — I’m pretty sure he had Sam doing...
