What do you write when it's been 3 months since you've written anything? It's been an unusual season for my family. And it feels like we are now in an "in-between". I was already behind on blogging- I had a few batches of photos from foods I had made that were awaiting the day when … Continue reading A Season of Liminality: A Threshold
When I find something great, I can't wait to pass it on! We have a new favorite meal at our house that I have been wanting to share with you for several weeks. These early dark dinner hours have made it really hard to capture the meal in photos in order to post it. So, … Continue reading Quinoa Bowls…Pass it On

Last weekend our family braved our first family camping trip. We went with our friends the Snaders (who are experienced campers)! It was a success, though I am not so great at sleeping on the ground. I made some bar cookies for the trip and when I pulled them out for an afternoon snack at … Continue reading Monster Slice (Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip M & M Cookie Bars)

I 'm not great at cooking with an electronic device as … Continue reading Always Learning, Always Changing: Recipe Edits

We like trying different pizza, trying different toppings and styles of Pizza: thin and thick, simple, … Continue reading Pizza!
When I was looking for a delicious but simple chocolate cake to accompany my friend, Lane's homemade mint ice cream she was making, I chose this Chocolate Poundcake from Joy the Baker. It's from her recently published beautiful, and delicious cookbook, Homemade Decadence, that I got for Christmas. I have been reading it and marking pages … Continue reading Summer Eats Post #2: Chocolate Poundcake and Homemade Ice Cream
I have been scattered this summer- feeling pretty foggy in the brain when it comes to trying to write a creative, inspiring, cohesive blog post. The lack of posting certainly isn't because of a lack of cooking. There has been much action in our kitchen… perpetual, and I have taken photos along the way, … Continue reading Summer Eats Post #1: Greek Potato Salad & Tangy Grilled Chicken
It only takes seeing a photo of beautiful food to drive me into a craving that propels me into action! That's what happened a couple of weeks ago when I saw a photo of a Dutch Baby. I read an article about race relations on Desiringgod.org one morning in May while I was drinking my … Continue reading Dutch Baby: A Special and Simple Breakfast Treat
This is another recipe passed down to me from Sandi this year. (I wrote about her and her delicious Nana’s Cake and Apple Coleslaw recipes in an earlier post). Sandi had told me about these cookies, that she found on the blog, Chef in Training. She explained how delicious and irresistible they were. She brought them to small group one week and … Continue reading Irresistible Lemon Cookies
