While I love a great trip to the grocery store to explore and to get my creativity going, there is also nothing better than laying in bed and ordering groceries through Instacart. With the girls, sometimes getting to the grocery store seems impossible. Even if it is possible, it is usually a really quick […]
It happened. We had our first casualty on our urban chicken farm. Sweet Greta crossed the rainbow bridge and is now resting in chicken heaven. Shortly after bringing home our first three chickens, I began to notice that something was a little off about Greta. She was beginning to be really sleepy, and sort of […]
There is one dish I will always try if a restaurant has it: octopus. I absolutely love it, and I am fortunate that there are several restaurants here that make it incredibly well. While I love trying other people’s dishes, I have never really thought to actually make it. It definitely is a daunting dish […]
First, this post will be a bit of a tease, as I won’t be posting the actual recipe today. That will be for another day. This is just to explain how these have come about and tell you just how much my family loves them. Second, my Aunt is a saint. This is a recipe […]
Spain holds a truly special place in my heart, and will forever be my favorite place to visit. I don’t know what it is, but as soon as my flight touches down, it feels like home. The culture. The food. The vibe. The walkability. All of it. It also happened to be the first place […]
So, I am slightly obsessed with lemon curd. It is pretty much a staple in my fridge. We are huge brunch people, and for me, no brunch for a crowd is complete without a little yogurt station. This usually entails a greek yogurt, berries, granola, and lemon curd. However, I won’t lie that I also […]
There is something so delicious about a warm, doughy pretzel. It reminds me of my childhood and there is something completely comforting about them. Growing up we attended many sporting events (go Cardinals!), and it seems as if pretzels were always available at the concession stands. I mean, I like them any way: plain, cinnamon, […]
We eat so many bananas in this house, it’s a little ridiculous. With that said, a lot of times the girls will only eat half a banana or take one bite and be done. So, then we just have an abundance of partially eaten bananas. I have taken to slicing the remaining banana and freezing […]
Chickens. Three chickens! We live in the middle of the city, and for some reason, ever since we purchased our sweet bungalow, I have wanted chickens. Obviously, I didn’t think that it would ever happen since we do live in the city. I would just throw it out there every so often to remind my […]
It seems as if rules are ever changing, as well as the palates of little ones. Going back to when I was in elementary school, I remember on my birthday my mom bringing in treats for the class. These were usually something along the line of store-bought cupcakes, donuts, or ding-dongs. Completely acceptable. Completely delicious. […]
