I have a very deep love affair with chips and dip. To me it is the ultimate comfort/relaxation food. Not exactly a healthy habit by any means, but I have always had stronger cravings for salty/crunchy rather than something sweet. My relationship to chips and dips has evolved dramatically over the years. Frito Lay French… [read more]
Chips and crackers are my weakness. I like to have crackers when I eat salads or soups, because it’s hard for me to eat those plain because of the texture. I have yet to find store-bought chips or crackers that I don’t feel guilty about eating. I make a big batch of these crackers… [read more]
Happy Friday Folks! Here’s a couple of hilarious videos that both Dads and Moms alike, will enjoy. It’s three actual conversations between a father and his two year old daughter, reenacted by the father and another grown man. I laughed so hard I cried! My friend over at House Unseen needs some prayers, her baby is… [read more]
I have sat on this post for months, too terrified to actually publish it. But when my 17 year old cousin committed suicide a few weeks ago, possibly in part because he was struggling with being gay, it was the last straw. This post was originally about me being pro-gay marriage, but I will not… [read more]
Some people have asked me what my favorite and absolute must-have essential oils are, so I thought I would do a little post to share and explain. I have used Young Living Essential oils since 2005. I have tried regular store bought essential oils, and I can really see the difference in Young Living, they… [read more]
Earlier this year, Penelope got invited to the coolest Wizard of Oz birthday party and I just had to share some of the pictures! My friend Amy is an absolute pro at planning parties (although her real job is an anesthesiologist!) Throwing parties like this is something that Amy really enjoys and it gives… [read more]
Oh, how we love hamburgers in this house. My Argentinian husband is the consumate meat-and-potatoes guy. Penelope has always been a huge fan of animal protein, and I – a once vegetarian/vegan turned grass fed, locally farmed meat lover, love them too. Whenever we make hamburgers I always double the recipe and freeze some… [read more]
When I was pumping, I did everything known to man to increase my supply because I was gifted with the life experience of having to exclusively pump for my daughter in order to breastfeed her. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the M+BL breastfeeding archives to learn about my daughter, Penelope, and… [read more]
Holy Moly! Moving is HARD! I have not been this exhausted since Penelope was a newborn. So sorry I have been kind of slacking it on the blog post front. All of the packing and unpacking has proven to be very worthwhile. After only being here a week, and despite being very homesick and lonely,… [read more]
Have you ever wondered how to cut up a whole chicken? It’s pretty intimidating and it is something I had no idea how to do. And since I buy whole chickens in bulk from a local farm, it’s a skill I needed to have. I have gotten by without having this skill, the last couple… [read more]
This eBook has been a labor of love and I am pumped to share the revised and updated version with you today! A new cover and a totally redesigned layout, making it easier to read and way prettier to look at it! If you are trying to conceive, pregnant or a new mom – then… [read more]
I know it might be a little early for a Fried Green Tomatoes recipe, especially since for most of us this warm winter turned into a long, extended winter and tomatoes got in the ground a lot later this year. But if you are in Florida like me, green tomatoes are already coming! This recipe… [read more]
