Smalls is obsessed, and I do mean OBSESSED with oatmeal lately. In fact, in the past month, the first words out of his mouth in the mornings haven’t been “good morning, mom” but “did you start my oatmeal?” Yeah, I know. We’re working on that. And usually, I’ve absolutely started his oatmeal. Except for this…

It’s definitely Fall here in Michigan. It got down below freezing last night! Which is perfect, because I’ve been in the mood for warming foods. When I was little, my mom used to make these ‘porcupine’ meatballs, where she’d combine pork, beef, rice, and a whole host of seasonings. She’d serve them with marinara sauce…

Y’all. Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Which means that I need to start thinking about what we’ll be having. We already know we want to smoke a turkey (yes, you read that right. We are going to smoke a turkey in Michigan in November. Pray for us-we’re crazy.). In a hurry? Skip to the…

I love fall. There’s something about the kids being back in school full time that just warms my heart. The changing leaves aren’t too bad either. So far this year, it’s been “cool” but not cold. But that all changed earlier this week when temperatures took a dive. Y’all. We went from 80 degree days…

What do you usually eat for breakfast?

About once a week,…

Does anyone else crave cookies and soups come fall? I know I can’t be the only one. Sometimes I just want soups and stews and stroganoff…and cookies…you know, for snacks for the kids. I think that the food is one of my (many) favorite things about fall. When it’s muggy and hot, soup definitely does…

It’s finally cooling down here in Michigan! I am seriously so excited. Fall means cider mills, pumpkin spice everything…and Halloween. And the cooler weather means that means that I’m craving fall foods…like stews and pot roasts. But those take time, which, I’ll be totally honest, I probably have enough time. It’s the patience that I’m…

Does anyone else feel like they eat a LOT of eggs? Like…one to two dozen eggs…a week? We do. Between pickled eggs for snacks, Paleo bacon and egg veggie cups, hard boiled (and soft boiled) eggs for breakfast, our favorite healthy egg salad for lunches…we go through a lot of eggs. A.Lot. In fact, my…
