Last Christmas my best friend from college came over while we were home in Florida and brought us the most amazing Graham Cracker Toffee. It was literally devoured by the time she left our house! So good. Anyway, I harassed her for the recipe and then saved it for an entire year as a picture …

Looking for a quick gift to make this weekend for teachers, neighbors, friends, co-workers and more? I have a sweet idea for you… For as far back as I can remember my mom has made strawberry jam for Christmas gifts. Each year friends and family have come to expect this delicious treat and her list …
Yes, that is a LOT of toppings. For pizza night I had planned to make my favorite Caramelized Onion & Prosciutto Pizza but then got a little carried away with the toppings. I just couldn’t stop. And I’m glad I didn’t because this pizza is now my new favorite! You should make this for dinner…tonight. …
My favorite meal of the day is breakfast. It also happens to be the meal I have the least time for so I usually try and keep it simple or prep it on the weekend for the entire week. For years I’ve started my morning with an egg sandwich (you can find that throwback post …
Yesterday was my turn to host playdate. There are really only two requirements for a successful play date in my opinion – 1. fun friends who don’t mind if your house is a wreck and 2. wine (and lots of it)! Babies and food are optional but definitely a bonus. I wanted to serve a …
Since Thomas was born we’ve been really lucky to have so many friends bring us a meal. From our favorite take-out to delicious home cooked meals we’ve been so grateful for food as we transition to a family of four. It’s amazing how much more time you have to snuggle your new baby and chase …
We started a diet this week in our house. So naturally, we needed to go out with a bang over the weekend with one last big calorie splurge. Since dessert, especially ones loaded with cookies, frosting, brownies and chocolate syrup, are definitely not permitted in our diet, I thought Extreme Oreo Brownies would be the …
Each year I look forward to baking Matt a birthday cake. However, with a crazy toddler running between my legs and pulling out every pot and pan in the kitchen it’s really hard to find time (or patience) to whip up an elaborate cake these days. And believe me, as I was shopping for the …
I mentioned yesterday that for Supper Club our hostess Lisa made the most amazing Caramelized Onion & Prosciutto Pizza pizza ever. Since Thursday I had been dreaming about having this pizza again so over the weekend I grabbed all of the ingredients at the grocery store and whipped this up on Sunday night. As expected, …
It’s so pretty. So, so, so pretty. There are many versions of the Southwestern Chopped Salad with Cilantro Dressing all over Pinterest but this one is my favorite! It’s actually a combination of several salads I found on Pinterest with a few extra tweaks. I love to make this huge salad on a Monday night …
Snap, crackle and pop — these Valentine Rice Krispie Treats are easy, festive, and delicious! Perfect for your kids’ classmates, bus drivers, teachers, neighbors, friends, or even the school bake sale! We’ve also made these as little squares too and gifted them to neighbors and friends!

When I first met Matt he was strongly opposed to the crockpot. He is paranoid that our house will burn down if one appliance is left plugged in {even if it’s not turned on} when we’re at work. To this day he will triple check to make sure I’ve turned off and unplugged my curling …
