Parmesan Flatbreads

Parmesan Flatbreads

These parmesan flatbreads, inspired by Smitten Kitchen, are crispy crackers elevated with a little thyme and honey. Top with flaked salt for an extra crunch. They have very few ingredients and are SO quick and easy to make. In fact, this was the first recipe…

Quick Toffee Bark

Quick Toffee Bark

This quick toffee bark (AKA “Christmas crack”) is as addicting as the colloquial name implies. It is fast to make, with few ingredients. It also allows for some improvisation as far as the toppings go. We love crushed pecans or flaky Maldon salt! For toddler/child…

Honey Lavender Sweet Rolls

Honey Lavender Sweet Rolls

I decided to make these honey lavender sweet rolls when I was going through old posts and saw this beautiful memory with a lovely tangelo sweet roll recipe attached. We announced our first baby on the blog with that post, and I realized we never…

Super Carrot Muffins + Cooking with Toddlers

Super Carrot Muffins + Cooking with Toddlers

This recipe for super carrot muffins comes with tips on cooking with toddlers because it was the first cooking experiment I did with BOTH my two year old and one year old actively “helping” me. Needless to say, there were many lessons learned the day…

We love having easy breakfast options for mornings when we don’t have the energy or time to make a full, warm breakfast for the kids. I was originally looking for something über healthy, but then scratched that plan in lieu of something I thought they…

Freezer Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies

Freezer Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies

I never appreciated the magnificent convenience of (homemade) freezer foods until having children. There are virtually no cons, and the ability to have essentially on-demand family meals made with ingredients you yourself laid eyes on is a pro; the ability to have a nice meal…

Buttery Pecan Pie + Announcements

Buttery Pecan Pie + Announcements

William and I have been away from the blog for several months now- but for good reason! We have moved back to Alabama and into a new home. Going from a tiny, city apartment to a house with a yard is a wonderful lesson in…

Salted Caramel Cocoa Cake Bites

Salted Caramel Cocoa Cake Bites

There are two things I love about this recipe: 1) It can be made all in one pot so there are fewer dishes for all my fellow chocolate-craving, backache-ridden mommas-to-be. 2) If you get tired halfway through and decide to quit, you still have delicious…
