While we were making our transition from Chicago to Minneapolis last Fall, Jake moved up here first and spent some time living with friends while Baylen and I stayed back, waiting for our house to sell in Illinois. Our friends were incredibly gracious to Jake and shared many meals with him. All it took was… Continue reading

Sometimes all it takes to get a little extra mommy motivation is finding a yummy new recipe to prepare for your family! Growing up in the midwest has given me a love for hearty and nutritious meals that leave everybody satisfied. I also have a bit of a sweet tooth and most certainly like to keep it balanced with delicious desserts from time to time.
