Maybe it's pregnancy, nesting, or it's just a new fun "hobby," but I've been really into finding new recipes recently! Some of them have been healthy and some have been...well, not healthy, but definitely still delicious! :) Bjorn was gone for a month this summer for army, and that's when I got a bit carried away with desserts! Hypothetically, it's a little dangerous for me as a pregnant mama to sit home alone with my daughter and a huge batch of raspberry dark chocolate cookies. … [Read more...]

What’s For Dinner Wednesday (4 More Meal Ideas)
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! Anyway, it's high time to get back into routines around here, and one of my favorite weekly things to do is to get our What's … [Read more...]
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.

From the List to the Table: My Meal Planning Process
One of my favorite parts of the week is grocery shopping! Do you like shopping for meals, too? It's such a good feeling to have a well-stocked refrigerator ready to go for the week, isn't it? :) But having a full fridge and meals for the week doesn't start and end there with a big grocery trip. A good amount of planning and thought goes into the process, to make sure we're doing it wisely! I was determined to get into meal planning at the start of this year. Although I've definitely mapped … [Read more...]
