It has been a while since I’ve written a Meatless Monday post – and I don’t know why! I’ve had a few meatfree meals lately, but I haven’t taken the time to truly capture them and write down a recipe and then post them. So, today’s meatless post is a meal you can enjoy for … Continue reading Meatless Monday: Easy (and adaptable) Overnight Oats
Here’s another quarantine treat that we’ve perfected over here – raspberry almond bars. I’ve made these three times since March. That’s how much the family has enjoyed them. FW even requested these (along with ice cream) be his birthday treat, instead of cake! (He takes after me — who needs cake when you can have cookies, … Continue reading Raspberry Almond Bars

We did it! We survived our week of COLD. Was it easy? No. Do I want to do it again anytime soon? No no no no no! But we survived, and here’s how.
