Well, we survived Great Wolf Lodge. Four kids (5 and under) and four adults. It was mostly fun, even as someone who doesn’t love pools (I’m a beach girl) or groups of people (SO MANY PEOPLE!). Getting 8 people with different sleep needs and 1 who snores (guilty!) to get some quality sleep, ... Read More about Vegan Shredded Carrot and Apple Muffins + Weekly Menu
Roasted Beer and Lime Cauliflower Tacos with Cilantro Coleslaw
Our girls are 5 and 3 and this may be the last year they lack understanding of what a vacation truly entails. They’ve heard about Disney World and such, but thus far, we’ve dodged any true inquiries. As far as they know the “real” princesses all live there and some people they know have gone to meet ... Read More about Roasted Beer and Lime Cauliflower Tacos with Cilantro Coleslaw
Thai Tofu-Veggie Bowls + Weekly Menu
I’ve been thinking it for weeks now – we’ve dodged all the illness that has been going around. Entire schools have closed on account of illness and my girls remained healthy. I haven’t even avoided the usual places of suspect: everywhere that caters to kids. Everywhere from the childcare room at the ... Read More about Thai Tofu-Veggie Bowls + Weekly Menu
Family Friday (vol. 107): Empty Threats

Monday night, I stayed up way too late reading because I’ve got one book to finish and my book club book to read all within the next 2 weeks. And, life can ... Read More about Mushroom Risotto
Philly Cheesesteak Pasta + Weekly Menu
I was in a no-good mood yesterday afternoon. The sun was out (for once) and I was doing the mental gymnastics of everything that needed to get done for the weekend. I had to wrap up prep for a podcast before we recorded this morning, my blog received zero attention all week, I was quickly losing ... Read More about Philly Cheesesteak Pasta + Weekly Menu
Tofu-Walnut Bolognese
My sister-in-law and her wife just got back from their honeymoon in St. Lucia. They stayed a million nights at a resort that looked nothing short of DREAMY. I can’t wait to hear all about it. About the honeymoon and then about the Cheese of the Month Club delivery they received last week, too. Dying ... Read More about Tofu-Walnut Bolognese
Buffalo Cauli-Bites
If you’re ever visiting southwest Michigan, make a point to stop by Silver Beach Pizza. After you visit the dunes and/or beach, of course. As someone who likes (not loves) pizza, I must say, I LOVE Silver Beach Pizza. My favorite pizza of theirs is the "Sicilian" – sausage, pepperoni, green olives, ... Read More about Buffalo Cauli-Bites
