PhotobucketOh, sweet Suzie. I hope you didn’t look at these and think “uh, are those mint?” Because, I’ll admit, that’s sort of what it looks like to me. In my defense, broccoli is green. Also in my defense, I was snapping photos in between giving Sophie bites of chopped broccoli and spoonfuls of these mashed potatoes, so the process was a little rushed.

Rest assured, these are broccoli mashed potatoes. And they are delicious. And decidedly not mint. And life-changing. Amen.

PhotobucketI always feel sad for people who say they don’t like salad. To me, if you don’t like salad, you aren’t putting enough goodies in it.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that it took a few years before Sophie came to us, including one devastating miscarriage. After the miscarriage of my first pregnancy (and the months of trying to get pregnant before and after that), I went through a pretty sad, sometimes dark place when dealing [...]

I love pizza night. I could honestly eat pizza almost every night of the week without getting tired of it. I usually go with something simple, like the pesto, tomatoes, and cheese combination I did here, but every once in a while I love doing something a little over the top.

So this post has been collecting for weeks! Despite the lack of blogging, we have been making great progress. Let’s take [...]

slow-cooker refried beans

May 7, 2012

I don’t know why, but something about cooking dry beans seems intimidating. I suppose it could have something to do with the whole, soaking, draining, cooking for a few hours, and then hoping they’re not crunchy in the end thing. But, turns out, it’s not scary. I’ve only done it a few times before now, [...]
