I just wanted some dang nachos for lunch. BUT we’re trying to eat healthier. A lot healthier. Try watching “Food, Inc.” “Forks Over Knives” “Broken Limbs” and “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” in the same month and not making some big changes. (All on Netflix) So, using things we had on hand, I decided to […]
some things on my mind: 1. finished. I just finished reading Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas. Everyone around me is probably sick of it already. Somehow every little thought, event, topic at hand, etc. reminds me of something in this book. Rarely have I felt that my life was being so shaped […]
Some fun things … 1) the runaway bunny i opted to fill kaya & hudson’s easter basket with books rather than candy this year. i bought this one on a whim and it has become a new favorite! if i’m going to read a book 48582939 times for kaya and another 9488503932 times for hudson, it’s […]
Pinterest has revolutionized my life. Okay, maybe that’s an overstatement. But only just barely! It has certainly revolutionized my meal-planning. I love looking through a visual index of great looking food when I am preparing my grocery list or deciding on what’s for dinner.

A few weeks ago I posted some recipes I had bookmarked and hoped to try… Well we tried many of those and a few others and here’s what we thought…(Click on the title to see the recipe). Quinoa & Black Beans - I made it with chicken broth instead of vegetable broth because that’s what I […]
Man. Just when you think spring is here…it snows in Kansas City. It’s been a pretty depressing weekend. We’ve made the best of it and I’m thankful for some cuddly family time with Nels and Kaya. Saturday morning I woke up with a bad sore throat and terrible body aches, headaches, some vomiting and have […]
…notice most of these shots are very close up? That’s because most of our house is a disaster right now. A cheery disaster – but a disaster nonetheless. A yummy, cheery, disaster! We (and when I say “we” I most definitely mean “I”! ~ Nels had out of town drill this weekend) made Lemon Bread, […]
It’s true. Lately I have been beyond obsessed with pumpkin. We’ve been eating it in soup, bread, even pureed with a bit of agave for the baby. I love my dear Aunt Mimi’s pumpkin bread. It’s a warm and happy memory of Thanksgivings spent with my Huston family – waking up early to work out […]
