We’re preparing for our first winter storm here in Michigan. It’s not so much the accumulation (5-7 inches) but the drifting snow that is creating all the commotion. Our groceries were just delivered because I wasn’t sure I’d WANT to venture out in a snow storm with 2 littles and it was a good ... Read More about Sweet Apple Risotto
Sesame Chicken
Not gunna lie, I’m getting a little stir-crazy with winter officially in full effect. I got really desperate when I planned to drive the kids 15 miles north to go to a McDonalds with a playhouse. WHO AM I?! The germs, the food – other than something new and something active, what is there to ... Read More about Sesame Chicken
Dijon-Maple Chicken with Brussels and Butternut + Weekly Menu
You know who’s in my house with me right now? A sleeping Piper. Not even the dog is here to interrupt my Sunday fun. They went for a little hike/sledding adventure at the state park.

Slow-Cooker Green Chicken Chili
I got a meme from my best friend the other day. It said, “I miss over-eating with you.” It’s so true. Kristen and I + food can be trouble. A couple of foodies with less-than-ladylike appetites and ahem, yeah. We’re a work in progress, what can we say? Besides, it totally made me laugh. Kristen is ...

Chicken with Pepperoni-Marinara Sauce + Weekly Menu
We’re packing up to get on the road and back to Michigan. We’ve been away since Christmas and everyone is totally off schedule and overloaded on sugar. Our goal for last night’s dinner: a vegetable. We succeeded with canned green beans to accompany…pizza. I’ve seen numerous memes about the days ... Read More about Chicken with Pepperoni-Marinara Sauce + Weekly Menu
