I love a big warm bowl of Creamy Broccoli Potato Soup with Caramelized Onions and Apple on a cold day! It’s warm, creamy, full of flavor and actually vegan too! My mom is a big fan of broccoli and when I was little, she ate it all the time. But she usually steamed it or cooked in the microwave, which,… View Post
Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? I did! We went to my parents’ house for a few days and had a great time. Since O’s food allergy diagnosis I end up doing the bulk of the meal planning and a lot of the cooking to make sure that things are safe for him. And wow, do I appreciate all those… View Post
When I was little my mom always used to get us those cardboard advent calendars with the elaborate Christmas scene and little hidden numbered doors. And behind each door was a tiny, perfect, and oddly shiny little chocolate shape. And of course she got two so my brother and I wouldn’t argue over whose turn it was to open the… View Post
I think that something people often wonder about vegetarians, but rarely ask, is what DO you eat? I can tell that sometimes, when I say I don’t eat meat, I get kind of a baffled look, and then I usually get fed either pasta/spaghetti or some kind of mushroom thing. And I know most people are so kind and trying… View Post
Try this recipe for the BEST baked White Bean Falafel, they’re easy to put together and come out crunchy and delicious every time! The reason I wrote down this recipe for baked white bean falafel is that there’s this restaurant here in Chicago called Sultan’s Market that we used to go to all the time. It’s a dark hole in… View Post
I’ve been making hats for O since he was a tiny baby and last year we made it through the whole winter with just one hat. It’s looking a little raggedy now though and it was getting a bit small too, so this past weekend, I made him a quick new hat to get us through at Fall and early… View Post
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about why I often downplay my skills and accomplishments to others. I’m afflicted with what I call Crafter’s Guilt where my excitement over something I’ve made is dampened by feeling sort of uncomfortable or guilty for doing a good job. I can’t be the only one who feels like this, right? My wonderful husband… View Post
I had so much fun making the Apple Tree Felt Board for O (and I may or may not have had a mountain of extra felt leftover, I plead the 5th!) that I thought I’d make another. This time I went with a Farm theme because, at the time, he didn’t really have any farm themed toys and I love… View Post
Roasted Eggplant, White Bean and Ditalini Soup is hearty and warm and delicious, perfect for Fall! If you ask me if I want soup in the summer, the answer is definitely NO. Thinking about soup when it’s warm out and the sun in shining, is just, ick, no thank you. But when it gets to be this time of year,… View Post
My Halloween Costume week continues with another flashback to my DIY Little Cowboy Costume! This time, it was O’s 3rd Halloween, he had just turned 2 and I didn’t know what he should be (and he was still too little to care). And then my aunts went to Arizona and came back with the cutest little cowboy boots of all… View Post
