Christmas Cookie Bars

Welcome back to day two of cookie week! In case you missed it, the first recipe was chocolate caramel snowball cookies. This second recipe is one of the easiest of the bunch and a perfect one to make with kids. These Christmas cookie bars use melted butter, which means you don't need to wait for butter to soften and require no chilling time. They're a great one to make with your kids! If you have enough time to brown the melted butter, it really deepens the flavor and brings out some nutty ... continue reading...

Growing up, my dad made dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies to gift to neighbors and friends and it's been such a joy to carry on that tradition. Last ... continue reading...

Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I've always loved a broccoli cheddar soup, but it never tasted quite as good when I made it at home. Not until now! This chicken broccoli cheddar soup is perfectly creamy and delicious. You can leave the chicken out if you want, but I like adding it for protein since I know I'm going to make an entire meal of this soup anyways. With a big hunk of crusty bread for dipping or served in a bread bowl if you're feeling fancy, this is one soup recipe that you'll want to make again and again. This ... continue reading...

Bacon Sourdough Dressing

Bacon Sourdough Dressing with Mushrooms and Parmesan

Thanksgiving is just two days away, and I don't know about you, but it feels like the holiday has really snuck up on us this year! If that's the case for you too, maybe you're still finalizing your menu. Side dishes are the real heroes of Thanksgiving dinner, and dressing or stuffing is my absolute favorite. I have several recipes on my site already, like cornbread sausage dressing and pretzel bread dressing. But because it is my favorite side dish, this year I'm bringing you bacon sourdough ... continue reading...

Last week I spent a few days visiting my best frie Last week I spent a few days visiting my best friend in sunny Arizona seeing her new home and while I miss her every day it brought me so much joy to see how happy she is and how her whole family is thriving! @teeter_totter_mom and I had the best time chatting nonstop for three days as we hiked and ran and of course ate McDonalds. We laughed and explored and soaked up every minute together and it was time that was so good for my soul. “There’s a version of you that only exists when you’re with your best friend. The way you can laugh without holding back, and be yourself without explaining. The comfort of being fully yourself, unfiltered, unedited, unafraid.” 💛 I can’t wait for my next visit ☀️🌵

Happy 11th birthday Lleyton Edward!! Gosh, how has Happy 11th birthday Lleyton Edward!! Gosh, how has it been 11 years? You are growing into such a kind, thoughtful, intelligent young man. You love soccer, golf, and basketball. You love to read and build Legos. You’re a great student and super creative and can frequently be found drawing at the kitchen table. Lately you’re very into cars and can discuss all their makes and models. You started guitar lessons this past summer and I love hearing you practice. I love seeing your interests as you get older and watch you lean into the things that make you YOU. You’re an excellent big brother and are always looking out for your siblings and will happily stop what you’re doing to play cars with Killian, built an elaborate train track setup, or read him his bedtime story. 

There is just something about your oldest. We’ve been on this journey together for 11 years since you made us parents in the middle of the night. We’ve grown and learned together since day one and seeing the kind, smart, empathetic, independent, wonderful young man you are now is one of my greatest joys. Happy birthday bug. 💙

Song playing in the background is Lleyton’s favorite!
