Let's talk food today! It's no secret that I like to cook and bake. My husband likes to spend time in the kitchen, too! Bjorn is really talented when it comes to evaluating what's in the cupboard and making a meal out of it. But he's also good at jumping in and helping with my more complex meal ideas, haha! When I want to try new meals, I tend to select more ambitious recipes (for better or for worse) and have spent many an afternoon industriously chopping veggies, grating things, simmering, … [Read more...]
Our Nursing Story (With an Oat Mama Giveaway + Promo Code!)
Being a first-time mom, I had no idea what Sophie's and my feeding journey would look like! (And you can't truly know what it'll be like with each child until you try!)

One of my favorite parts of the week is grocery shopping! Do you like shopping for meals, too?

Thai Iced Tea
Bjorn and I have always loved Thai food - it's one of our favorite cuisines, whether we're cooking at home or going out to eat. I studied abroad in Cambodia and fell in love with curry even more so then, and I'm lucky to have a husband who enjoys it just as much as I do! :) At most Thai restaurants, there are a couple delicious drinks on the beverage menu: Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea. If you're unfamiliar with these beverages, they are basically creamy sweet versions of coffee or … [Read more...]
10 Kitchen Habits To Save Time + Avoid Waste
I love spending time in the kitchen! I get SO much joy out of standing in our quiet, sunlit kitchen, washing strawberries in our farmhouse sink, stirring soup, chopping veggies for curry, or whipping up another batch of oatmeal bars.
