It’s September 1st. How did that HAPPEN?! I guess having a baby in late spring kind of adds to the swiftness of summer, but seriously. I’ll miss it, but y’all know how this girl adores autumn. In case you don’t know, it’s a lot. To...

I love my wife’s friends in the computer. You bring her joy, encourage her, give her space to write with a real and sometimes raw freedom, and become her friends outside the computer too. She also gets opportunities to partner with awesome organizations and...

There’s a bit of a war going on here in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. The rivalry has been aired on TV, radio, and plays out every day in the hearts of burger loving Minnesotans. There are two restaurants that claim to be the birthplace of the one of the best...

While some of you are seeing shoots of green come up through the dirt, buds on trees, and are playing outside in shorts… here in Minnesota we got yet another winter storm last night. 4-6″ of snow coming down. I’m tempted to groan along with the rest...

The first recipe I made from the brand-new Gooseberry Patch cookbook, Good-for-You Everyday Meals {the one I’m giving away – enter here!}, was this winner. My little Boy loves oatmeal, and we eat it most mornings. I only make steel cut oats, and always add...

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...

The seasons, they are a-changin’ round these parts. Temperatures have been in the 30’s and 40’s, the sun is setting around 5:00, and tomorrow is supposed to bring real snow! So it’s a cozy food kind of week, starting out with these BBQ/sloppy...

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...

We love pancakes in this house. And add pumpkin… bigger love. So it was only right to make the very first recipe in the whole Hometown Harvest cookbook =) It made a nice big batch, and we have a couple bags full in the freezer. Helpful hint: did you know you can...

Every Easter, we’d get up at the crack of dawn and dress fancy. Since mom was the choir director at church, we had to be there early early. While it felt too early to eat breakfast (you know how your stomach feels kind of sour when you’re up before dawn?),...

Just a quick little recipe for your midweek! It’s from Gooseberry Patch’s new 101 Stovetop Suppers (which you can enter to win a copy of here!) Keeping it simple because I have a toddler who doesn’t sleep well, a board meeting for work tomorrow,...

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...
