This pear recipe came about on a whim. As I woke one fall morning to the sound of my kids stirring, demanding to be let out of their bedroom, I grumbled to myself. Why don’t kids get the memo that Saturdays are for sleeping in? Ha. I can’t remember the last time I slept in…

Creamy Green Smoothie
It took me a loooong time to hop on the green smoothie band wagon. For some reason I imagined that it would taste like a wilty salad all blended together. Not too appealing. Then along came Jim, who absolutely refused to eat his green vegetables. Not wanting him to miss out on all…
Savory Dutch Baby Puff Pancake
This Savory Dutch Baby is a delicious alternative to the more traditional sweet puff pancake. During the week, I basically make 2 breakfasts: some variation on eggs (scrambled, fried, omelette), or smoothies. The kids are usually starving when they get up and I have no time to dilly dally and make a fancy breakfast. (That’s…
Gluten Free Pumpkin Waffles
These gluten free pumpkin waffles are tender and full of spicy fall flavors! I know I said this in my last waffle post, but…life has been a bit…crazy? Is that the right word? Hectic? INSANE? Maybe that’s exaggerating just a hair. What with work, helping out my sisters after having their babies, battling an illness,…
Easier Spanish Omelette
This post is sponsored by Honest Cooking and Potatoes USA. All opinions are my own.We’re big potato fans in this house. In fact, Reuben is pretty disappointed if I serve a starch other than potatoes. Yeah, we’re Scandinavians. I think potatoes have gotten a bad rap in recent years. They ARE carb heavy, no doubt…
Grain Free Waffles + Life Lately
Whew! It has been a wonderful, busy month. I took an online course, wrote an e-book, attended my sister’s birth (it’s a girl!), and tried to keep up with household/mom stuff all at the same time (and almost went crazy in the process). ^^The adorable Reina!^^ It has been a stretching experience to say the…

Strawberry Protein Smoothie [VIDEO]
If there’s one thing I love for breakfast on hot summer days, it’s an icy cold, strawberry smoothie. I’ll often wake up with my throat feeling parched, and something liquid sounds just right for starting out my day. We’ll also drink smoothies for supper. Reuben works construction, so when he’s been out in the heat…
Sausage, Mushroom and Bell Pepper Breakfast Hash
Can I let you in on a little secret? I rarely eat this hash for breakfast (unless there happens to be leftovers). When I wake up from a night of nursing James, I’m STARVING. And I have about 5 spare minutes to make myself and Helen breakfast before the little man gets fussy. So I…
How to Make Perfect Soft Boiled Eggs
I first learned about soft boiled eggs from my grandma. She showed us her special egg cups. She talked about cooking the eggs for the perfect amount of time. Inspired, I decided to try my hand at making soft boiled eggs. To my dismay, it was impossible for me to get consistent results. I threw…
