Rice Krispies are one of my family’s favorite cereals. We love to eat them in their good old cereal form, and make them into yummy treats! Rice Krispies treats are so easy to make and customize to different tastes and holidays. With Easter a few days away it was time to make another treat with […]
The Super Bowl is this weekend. While I’m not a football fan, who doesn’t love good game food? Buffalo chicken dip or Buffalo wings are a common game food. What if you can take the favorite flavor of buffalo sauce and make in a whole new way for the big game? I love Buffalo sauce […]
I started this blog years ago at a time of a lot of change in my life. Quickly it became a calming outlet to try and reach others like me. I never thought there actually could be more like me. In fact, I hoped there weren’t others like me. Non-custodial mothers. Over time it was […]
I remember the day vividly. The day I lost custody of my little girl. I knew it would probably end up this way, but nothing could have prepared me for being a non-custodial mother. Being a non-custodial mother is a rare breed. So rare I thought I must be the only one. I guess in […]
Kid approved trail mix was inspired by my kids. My always hungry, often picky, kids. We were gearing up for a summer road trip with 6+ hours of car confinement and I knew I had to roll out some new tricks to keep the vehicle peaceful. My kids are always clamoring for their next […]

Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore is a meal that is easy enough to be a family staple, but impressive enough for a special occasion. Chicken Cacciatore is an Italian meal my family made on special days when my parents were really trying to do dinner up right. The result was delicious, and something I wanted to eat […]
This year marked a special point in our little man’s life. He would be 4 years old. This age brings a lot more autonomy and some admirable (and sometimes stubborn) certainty over what he likes and wants. For me as a cake-making-mommy it can be a little scary opening up the cake decision to a […]
Does the idea of making Thanksgiving dinner make you cringe? Several years ago that’s exactly what it did for me. Thanksgiving dinner (especially the turkey) seemed like a high bar I would never even attempt to jump over. I felt ill-equipped and unfamiliar entirely. Luckily, my sister-in-law inspired me and redirected my culinary fear. For […]
Making soup is almost as good as eating it. It is comforting and delicious any time of year, but especially during the cold season. This turn of season I aimed to try something new. New, and simple. Hearty was on the menu too. I found a bunch of ideas online with sausage, canned beans and […]
