Friends. This recipe, right here, is my secret weapon of recipes. One of those that when she inherits the tattered recipe card it lives on, my daughter will already know by heart. It’s the one I bring to potluck brunches, make on the most special holidays, and...

Growing up, on special days my mom would pull a tube of refrigerated cinnamon rolls from the fridge and bake them, filling the house with the scent of sweet cinnamon and dough. She made them on every first day of school, Easter and Christmas mornings. That smell...

I know. Christmas is over. Even the Twelve days of Christmas are over. And here I am yakking about it again… but I just feel like I kind of got gypped out of Christmas this year. Despite my best efforts, the season flew past and I had a hormonal meltdown last...

I’ve never done this before! But last night I thought it’d be fun {and it was!} to peek at my stats and see what YOU loved reading on Girl with Blog during 2013. I am humbled every day when you share your stories, stop by my fence, send an email or tweet,...

Husby made these one night when I was particularly sick and un-interested in food, but The Boy was saying, ‘Eat! Eat! I need to eat!’ So we thought dinner was probably in order. He put these together in no time and they were really good. I can see...

Soup is, perhaps, the ultimate comfort food. When one feels ill, soup. On a rainy or chilly day, soup. For heartbreak, soup. And so it was that last night, the only thing on my mind for supper was soup. All is not right in the world. When bombs explode. When we...

Tonight I made a gigantic mess of the kitchen. GI-GAN-TIC. I made three recipes from two cookbooks, and steamed veggies to make baby food at the same time. On the stove we had fried chicken going, a pot steaming carrots and then apples, cinnamon apples in another pot,...

Oh friends… this recipe from the The Harvest Table, was soooo good! It was a chilly day here in Minnesota and this cool weather recipe really hit the spot. I can just see savoring the creamy gorgonzola and nutty pecans in October, when there’s really a nip...

When I was featured on the Gooseberry Patch blog almost two years ago, they asked me what my 30 minute go-to meal was. My answer was shrimp scampi! Now I am an early bird reviewer, and we still have scampi a few times a month. It’s so yummy and simple, we love...
