Today the sun is out and the temperatures are going to be in the upper 40's. It's time to celebrate! If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen photos of our weather. While many enjoy blossoms and warming this time of year, we get to enjoy.... more snowstorms. I've been having my own fits with Cabin Fever. That being said, a good bowl of … Read More »

Elementary School Art
Last week, Dave and I were able to haul 3 GIANT children's paintings to an elementary school office. These paintings were 4 ft. x 4 ft. each! Chosen from drawings done by kids at the school, they add such spunk to the office. Parents see them immediately when they walk into the office. There is an outdoor theme that connects them, although … Read More »
Elementary Art: Part III
Today I'm showing the third and final painting that will be going in an elementary school office. I took a small portion of a picture a girl drew about playing at recess. Don't you just love the face and the way she captured those beaded jump ropes schools always have? (At least they had them when I went through school. How about you … Read More »
Cheddar Soup
This is a fast, comforting soup. It would be great as an appetizer. This is one, however, that needs to be eaten when cooked. Making it ahead of time isn't really an option, and the leftovers get a funny texture. It's perfect for a fast meal though, and my kids all loved it! Adapted from Cook's Illustrated's Soups and Stews Magazine, … Read More »
Elementary School Art: Part II
In all of its simplicity, this little drawing was able to catch the joy and expression that comes with kids and a trampoline. It was chosen as the second piece to go in an elementary school office. We joke that they are cute little "zombies". I started turning it into a bespoke painting this week. After looking at it a few days, I'm … Read More »
Elementary School Art
Remember the art I created for an elementary school? Well, they wanted a few more paintings, this time for a large wall inside the secretary's office. The school gathered pictures from random students, and then together, we chose three of the best pictures...ones that all had a common thread or theme to them. We ended up with a playful, … Read More »
Apple Pancakes with Creamed Apple Syrup
This recipe was sent home in my little girl's backpack from pre-school. I thought it sounded fun to try. While it suggested whipped cream or sweetened sour cream for a topping, I used an apple syrup recipe given to me by a friend. I decided it would be fun to try adding heavy cream to the syrup to keep things interesting. After all, you add … Read More »
Chicken Fricassee
This is definitely a comfort food recipe. It's somewhere between chicken fried steak and the best southern fried chicken you've ever had. I served it in this picture with my homemade bread, but I wish I had opted for some creamy mashed potatoes with chives or some really crusty, buttery bread to scoop up all the extra broth. My kids absolutely … Read More »

Creamy Tomato Soup with Cheese Tortellini
Today I'm sharing my favorite tomato soup, with a delicious addition. I added some cheese-filled tortellini, and it helps it become a meal instead of an appetizer. This one is a must-have in your recipe collection! Enjoy! … Read More »
