Fresh pasta, the thing of gods… or people with the luxury of extra time. Which today in an odd turn of events we had. An entire day at home together. Jamie decided to make fresh pasta.

Sourdough Doughnuts
I have been messing around with sourdough for the last few months, and just came across an Instagram account called @sourdough_mania that has some of the sexiest sourdough ideas I have ever seen. Little chef and I created a new sourdough starter early this week and I wanted to make something with it on this beautiful […]
Blueberry Dumplings
Last week we asked for some recipe suggestions from all of our blog followers and we had so many fun responses! Because we had so many responses I decided to do more than one of the recipes. Last night I made Blueberry Dumplings. I have to admit it was my first time and I had […]

Mommy Chopped.
I have all the skills and tools to make the meal of your dreams, but in my own kitchen at 5:30 pm on a Wednesday evening when I crack open the fridge and look at the dismal gathering of ingredients, my ambition and creativity flee for their lives.
Family Time
Our best moments as a family are usually when we are cooking. This weekend was no exception. James works a 4 on, 4 off schedule, and this is the first time in many months that he actually had his 4 days off without being called in to solve some major world crisis or another. So […]
