I mentioned in a previous post (about a certain delicious oatmeal cake) that my mom recently had a birthday. We all went down to my parents’ house and spent the weekend there to celebrate.

Butternut Squash Soup
There are a lot of good pre-packaged soups out there, but there’s nothing quite like making soup from scratch. This butternut squash soup is flavorful and creamy, full of hidden vegetables, and is light because it does not have any cream! This recipe makes enough soup for Tim and I to eat it a couple […]

Fake Fancy: Cheesy Quinoa Casserole with Broccoli and Asparagus
Last weekend, I asked Tim what he thought we should cook for dinner Sunday night, and he chose cornish game hens. When I was trying to think of what to cook with them, I remembered some quinoa I bought a while back and hadn’t done anything with. I figured I could incorporate a vegetable somehow […]
