I was a fresh cranberry newbie. I don’t know what it was about these beautiful berries, but I had kept my distance. After receiving a baking order for cranberry bread, I thought it was about time to start incorporating cranberries into my holiday baking. I bought 3 bags of berries–so don’t be surprised if there is […]
The One with a Little Thing
We’ve had a long, busy, tiring weekend. I’m going to bed now. But can I just say that when I got back from worship practice tonight, I found my husband had done all the dishes. He rocks. Oh, and last night, I got home from our church’s family movie night and another worship practice for […]
Puffy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Ever since I saw this recipe tweeted about a few days ago, I have been dreaming about these cookies. I don’t know what it is that made my brain incapable of forgetting about these images, but I just couldn’t get past it. I’m so glad I finally gave in to my cravings. You should have […]
The One with the Epic Trip to My Parents’
This year was one of the most relaxed Thanksgivings of all time. At least the Thanksgiving day was relaxing. We started our holiday at 7am Wednesday morning. With the car loaded with pies and bags of who knows what, we hit the road. I drove the first 4 hours while Kevin read his library book on […]
Spicy Barbecue Skillet Chicken Recipe
It just so happened to be a Friday night when we didn’t want pizza. I know, I can’t believe those Fridays even exist. (I think it probably had a lot to do with the fact that I didn’t plan ahead for the pizza dough and defrosting the frozen mozzarella, but let’s not split hairs.) I […]
The One with Engagement Photos
The start of our Thanksgiving break included our very first solo photography gig (my first gig ever was Elise’s wedding, remember?). Our good friends, Josh & Amanda, called us a few weeks ago with a request to take their engagement pictures. We were totally honored (not to mention super thrilled) to oblige. The honest truth is we are […]
Spinach, Pepper, and Onion Omelet Recipe
Omelets are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are totally versatile and customizable to your flavor preferences. They can include any variety of meat–ham, sausage, bacon–or vegetables–peppers, onions, spinach. I love this about omelets. This particular omelet is most certainly nutritious–loaded with protein and filled with fresh veggie nutrients. I omitted cheese and meat […]

Chicken Imperial Recipe
This is one of those recipes that I can’t believe I haven’t posted. It is one of my favorite recipes my mom used to make. It was the first dish Kevin and I cooked together, on our first Valentine’s day together, just three months into our dating relationship. It’s fast, it’s easy. It’s so incredibly […]
