Back when I first got our slow cooker, I remember being really excited to look for new recipes. The thrill has greatly subsided since becoming a mom, but I was lucky enough to have found some pretty good recipes in my early days, which have gotten me through the past four years – and this Crockpot chicken with olives is …
I have a problem with bugs. As far as I can tell, they serve absolutely no purpose and I’d like to live my entire life without ever coming in contact with one. And in terms of hierarchy, the mosquito ranks at the very TOP of this list of my most hated living things. I’ve tried very hard to mask my …
I spent most of my life thinking that chocolate pudding came from a box. To be honest, boxed chocolate pudding really isn’t all that bad – it’s just not rich enough for me. If you share the same sentiment, check out the below recipe, which was super-easy, tasted amazing, and was adapted from this Epicurious recipe to include more chocolate …
Do you have any idea what the term FPIES means? I sure didn’t, until my daughter was diagnosed with it. And despite weeks of nonstop research, I’ve still not found any situation that’s similar to ours, so I’m writing – for the first time ever – a “Day in the Life” blog post that ISN’T humorous, in the hopes that …

And everything was going just fine until we got… our first splinter. I knew it was coming, because B wouldn’t stop running her hands back and …
In case you can’t tell by now, we’re a chocolate family. My husband found this easy recipe online for egg-free double chocolate muffins and we adapted it to make it as easy as possible while working with the ingredients we already had in our cabinet. While it’s totally different than the chocolate-glazed scones I posted earlier, it’s still equally good. …
You know how you can yell at your kids for two hours straight and they won’t hear a word you’re saying, but you can accidentally drop an F-bomb and they’ll repeat that for the rest of their lives? Well, that’s what’s happening in our household right now, but with a different set of words. As you know, B’s first language …
I’ve been allergic to nuts my entire life – so it’s only natural that one of my daughter’s favorite things to eat is, of course, nuts.
