Strawberry fields forever

Last week we went strawberry picking and came home with 5 POUNDS of strawberries.  Fresh berries are incredible, let me tell you.  P would agree – he ate a lot before they made their way to the bucket. So what do you do with five pounds of berries?  Well, eat them raw mostly.  They are just so freakin’ good we have been having them with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  But besides that, I decided this chia jam was next on the list.  I don’t have the My New Roots cookbook, but I want it now! I… Read more >

The weekly menu

Day by day we are getting into our rhythm and it makes me so pumped (we still have plenty of disaster moments too).  I love my little ones something fierce and they are already all about each other too.  I mean, P wants to be around V all day long, touching her, petting her, helping me soothe her, all of it.  He gets really sad when she cries and wants me to console her immediately regardless of what I’m doing (including feeding or playing with him).  I have a feeling they are going to be… Read more >

Easter weekend and then some

I owe kiddo pics I think.  They’re more fun to show off than food anyway.  🙂  Plus I have more photos than just our weekly dinners to share so just indulge me okay?

In order to keep my little dude entertained on our morning walks I made… Read more >

Yikes I’m behind!  Catching up… Once again I find myself FLOORED with the kindness and generosity of our family/friends/neighbors.  I just can’t get over it.  The transition to being home with two kids has definitely been difficult but the fact that we have something as important as delicious home-cooked food taken care of means SO MUCH LESS stress for me.  Obviously we all know eating good food is high on my list of priorities (I have this blog for a reason!) so for such a massive thing to be essentially taken care of for me in these… Read more >

Brianna’s salad

I’ve decided I have a new goal for spring and summer and that is to find a way to make something with every one of Brianna’s salad dressings.  Nope, this is not sponsored or anything.  I’m just obsessed with the poppyseed one so why not try the rest!?  They are probably just as awesome.  The honey mustard and lemon tarragon in particular sound so freakin’ good! Peach Poppyseed Chicken Salad Ingredients: 16 oz baby greens (spring mix or spinach are perfect) 2-3 peaches, diced (I had really small ones so I used 4, but 2 normal… Read more >
