Despite not being able to see all of the family members that I would usually see (I’m looking at you, Maine! <3), Christmas this year was still a special one. We went to my parents house for the night and Eleanor had such a wonderful time (Lincoln still isn’t quite sure what’s going on, but … Continue reading Christmas 2020

Easy and Delicious Banana Bread
For all of the times that I’ve made banana bread, I’m surprised I’ve never shared the recipe I use! It’s super simple, and one that I can thank my sister in law for. I believe it was the Christmas just after I got married that she gifted me a recipe book that had a bunch … Continue reading Easy and Delicious Banana Bread
Baking With My 3 Year Old (And a Muffin Recipe!)
I am definitely the type of person who has a hard time relinquishing control. You’ll find me asking my husband to do something for me, and I will ultimately take over because he’s doing it wrong. That, of course, translates into how I operate in the kitchen. But if my 3 year old daughter gets … Continue reading Baking With My 3 Year Old (And a Muffin Recipe!)

But since having Eleanor, we find ourselves wanting to experience more, if nothing more than to get her involved in outdoor activities. This weekend was beautiful and after a quick search, I found … Continue reading Strawberry Muffins
Cookies & Crackers Pound Cake
Happy Animal Crackers Day! When it comes to baking, I tend to steer towards easier recipes, or going back to tried and true recipes that I can almost make by memory. You can always find a box of vanilla cake mix, a bag of chocolate chips, and some sticks of butter-flavored Crisco in my pantry. … Continue reading Cookies & Crackers Pound Cake
Brown Sugar Oat Muffins
I've had this in my arsenal of baked goods for over 7 years now. They are a great, simple muffin, that you can add jam, butter, or peanut butter too. I think it's even better if served warm, alongside a nice, cool bowl of Greek yogurt. 🙂 Brown Sugar Oat Muffins From the Taste of … Continue reading Brown Sugar Oat Muffins
