If you read my post about a day in my life, you know that my life is pretty busy right now with three little ones. That was actually a really good day, and luckily I have many of those days where things run pretty smoothly, but there are some days when I feel completely exhausted…
Pumpkin Banana Loaf
You know what I never realized? Pumpkin and bananas go so well together! I made these amazing Pumpkin Banana Muffins from Alida’s kitchen and my family practically inhaled them. They were that good! I made them a few times, and then decided to change things up a bit and turn it into a loaf. I…
Slow-Cooker Apple Maple Pork Tenderloin
Bennett has been taking karate lessons from 5:30-6:00pm on Wednesdays, so that night has become our slow-cooker dinner night. We come in the door after karate to a hot dinner waiting for us. One Wednesday, I decided to make up a recipe using a pork tenderloin in the slow-cooker. I found one lonely Ambrosia apple…
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
When the weather gets colder, I start to crave soup. There’s nothing better than a warm belly full of soup on a blustery day. I love making soup in the slow cooker earlier in the day so we can come home after being out in the cold to the comforting aroma of soup and dig…
A Day in the Life of a Mom of Three
Today, I’m going to give you a glimpse into my real life, without a fancy camera, without staged or touched-up photos, just raw footage of a typical day in our household. If you’ve ever been curious what life is like with three kids, here’s your chance to find out. I’m on maternity leave at the…
Banana Maple Brownies
I love brownies, but I don’t make them very often because I would likely devour the entire pan of chocolatey goodness by myself. On the odd occasion when I do make brownies, I like adding healthy ingredients to them so at least I’m getting some nutritional value when I stuff my face with them. This…

Here’s a healthy Halloween snack that you might want to try- Green Monster Guacamole. To see my recipe, head on over to Popsugar. I also have a new article published…
Chicken Pot Pie {No Condensed Soup}
A few years back I posted a recipe for Lazy Chicken Pot Pie. It was a really simple and tasty dinner, but the one thing that always bugged me about it was that it used condensed cream of mushroom soup. Condensed soups are full of sodium and they’re so easy to substitute “cream of…soup” with…
Tips for Stress-Free Holiday Meals
I remember the first Thanksgiving meal that I ever prepared by myself. This would have been about 10 years ago, when I was newly married and didn’t know my way around the kitchen very well yet. I had helped my mom prepare turkey dinners before, and she wrote directions down for me on recipe…
Quick Baked Donuts
During the summer I made these delicious donuts for Bennett because he was sad when he saw some older kids making donuts in their summer camp and he didn’t get to. I told him we could make our own donuts at home. I made the donuts, took the photos, ate the donuts, wrote down the…
