delicious seasonal eats
I’ve been having a lot of fun with the Kraft Fresh Takes recipe challenge. My kids have had fun helping me and planning what to make with the Rosemary & Roasted Garlic variety. As part of this campaign, I wanted to show you how I plan my weekly menu, with the help of my kids, […]
This post is sponsored by Kraft Foods. Even though I work from home, it’s still really hard to get dinner on the table some nights. I tend to get focused on a project and before I know it, it’s dinnertime and my kids’ tummies are growling for something delicious to eat. Those are the nights […]

Becky and I are baking together again. This month we’re sharing Scandinavian holiday recipes. Becky is Swedish and I am 1/4 Norwegian. And proud of it! My maternal grandfather was full Norwegian. His father was in immigrant from Karmøy, a small island southwest of Haugesand. We were lucky to be able to visit Norway, including […]

My paternal grandmother grew up on the same block as her grandparents and all of her aunts, uncles, and cousins. Many of […]
This is one of my very favorite pictures. I took it when my oldest was not even two years old. The sun was streaming through the window into the kitchen of our 2nd floor apartment in the NYC suburbs. She was enjoying breakfast, if I remember correctly. Probably oatmeal with blueberries. The crazy chair is […]
This is my little guy, Fritz, last year when he turned 4. What do you think of the fabulous cake? (Please note sarcasm. My vision was not realized.) Today he turns 5. It’s been a long, productive year for him. He attended a special ed/speech preschool and finally started talking. It was a blessing for […]
In January, I made a wedding cake for these two lovely people. Meet Samantha and Chas Kelly. Even if I wasn’t related to them (by marriage) I would love and claim them as my own. (Sam is an amazing artist, by the way. She has an Etsy shop called Can You Hear Me? You should […]
I think I might be busy for the next little bit….. (Smile.)
