It’s apple picking time in the midwest! We love our trips to the apple orchard on those warm fall afternoons that start out with a cool crispness in the air. My girls love finding just the right variety of trees and then begin filling a bushel basket with the red (and sometimes green) fruit. We […]
sweet sixteen birthday bash (part ii)
My middle daughter, Grace, turned sixteen a few weeks ago…of course, we had a celebration for her! Yesterday, I shared the decorations, the party props, and the table decor for the fun and eclectic event (click here in case you missed the post). Today, I’m sharing more about the entertainment and the food that was […]
pesto tortellini with sugar snap peas
This recipe has become my “go-to” this summer! Three reasons… It is super quick and easy to throw together after a busy day. It is healthy. It has a great flavor, so everyone at my house eats it…those moms with more than one child know that’s a good thing when you can please most everyone! […]
cherry chocolate chip blondies
After picking over 40 pounds of cherries in northern Michigan a few weeks ago, we have been baking and baking at our house! Of course, I did freeze a lot of them to use at a later time…too bad they spoil so quickly. Today I’m sharing one of my favorite cherry recipes… Cherry Chocolate Chip […]

It was exhausting, and I have sooo much to share. All in due time, though… Yesterday marked the first day of summer, and one of my favorite summertime […]
mexican quinoa
Who’s planning Mexican for dinner on Thursday…it’s Cinco de Mayo, after all!?! This recipe combines spicy flavors with quinoa, the ever-so-popular grain that is rich in protein and fiber. So that makes it flavorful AND healthy! Ingredients… 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 garlic cloves (minced) 1 cup quinoa 1 jalapeno (chopped) 1 cup vegetable broth […]
brown rice with black beans
Cinco de Mayo is next week…May 5th! While I don’t do much to celebrate (except maybe enjoy some chips and salsa with a margarita or two), I think this recipe would be a good side dish for all those Mexican meals. Unlike a lot of Mexican food, this rice dish is fairly healthy. It is […]
