How is it Wednesday already?! It's been a weird week around here, since we got back into town on Sunday night (Bjorn had had army training at Fort Knox for a week, and Sophie and I were in the Twin Cities that week, helping my mom after she broke her arm). And then Tuesday was a snow day (the 6th or 7th one this year?!) and we had a 2-hour late start this morning. Whew!

What’s For Dinner Wednesday (3 More Meal Ideas)
It's the third installment of our "What's For Dinner Wednesday" series! I've recently really gotten into finding quick or simple meals to make for supper.

I think it all started with me seeing some moms share their go-to easy meals over on Instagram. It sparked my interest, because as much as I love an ambitious recipe, and as much as I do enjoy cooking...I also have a 15-month-old.

Why You Should Incorporate Crockpot Freezer Meals Into Your Life
Earlier this fall, my friend Jordan and I started chatting about crockpot freezer meals and how wonderful they sounded! I had made just a couple of them a year before and couldn't really remember why I'd stopped. (To be honest, now I think I was CRAZY for stopping!) We started brainstorming dates and then picked a Saturday to get together and go crazy with the crockpot meal prep! It took a few hours, a Costco trip, and a lot of ingredients spread out on the table...but boy, did we accomplish a … [Read more...]
