Hey strangers. No, literally, hey, STRANGERS. It’s been so long since I last blogged I truly have no idea who reads my blog anymore. I took a brief hiatus in 2015 from full-time blogging for some personal and business adventures and it’s taken me LITERALLY until 2017 to recover, come up for air, see the light, eat the cookies, fill in the blank with your cliche of choice.

I was worried that I’d get to my computer, open up that “new post” and have nothing to say, but my fingers are flying across the keyboard. I’ve missed this. All the times I’ve thought about blogging in the past year, all the times I made a new recipe, all the times I took a picture of my brunch dish, I thought about you guys – the blogging world. A world in which I was knee deep less than two years ago and a world that feels light years away today. These days, I’m knee deep in the world of motherhood and fitness and business ownership. It’s been a world that’s about a gazillion times harder than I ever expected but also a gazillion times more rewarding. Kind of like these cookies…….

Onion Carbonara (GF)

April 12, 2016

A long time ago, in a life far far away, back when hubby and I thought nothing of making Friday night dinner reservations at some of the best restaurants in town (pre-baby, obvi), we ate a dish that was, for lack of a less dramatic word, life-changing. Yes, I said it. I went there. We’re talking…

Apple-Banana Peanut Butter Sandwich Sticks

March 28, 2016

What IS it with food on a stick? People (and I include myself in that widespread generalization) go nuts for food on a stick. Regular apple? Boring. Chocolate-Toffee Apple on a Stick? AMAZING. Regular mini quiche? Cute. Mini quiche on a stick? BEYOND ADORABLE. You get my drift. As Carrie Bradshaw might say, the stick…

Green Goddess Egg Sandwich with Crispy Prosciutto

Obsession can be a funny thing. There’s lighthearted obsession, like me being slightly obsessed with ordering stretchy clothes from Old Navy while I was pregnant. Those clothes were SO comfortable (and yes, I still wear them….). Then, there’s deep, dark, scary obsession along the lines of creepy stalkers or my obsession with my neurotic but adorable…

How to Throw a Dr Seuss-Themed Birthday Party

March 10, 2016

When you have a kid, one year seems like a lifetime and a week all wrapped up into one big space-time continuum jumble. I feel like Alex has been in our lives for approximately….FOREVER….but at the same time, I cannot believe how fast this past year has flown by. We’re talking blurred vision warp speed,…

Veggie Sausage, Caramelized Red Onion and Fennel Pizza + Lightlife Giveaway

February 23, 2016

I’ve done it. I’ve tricked him. Let’s rewind. If this was a TV show, “36 hours earlier” would flash on the screen. Okay, it’s not that dramatic. But in the world of my relationship and veggies versus meat, it’s a pretty big deal. Those of you who’ve been around for a while know that my…

Watermelon Radish and Boursin Cheese Tartines

February 10, 2016

Remember me? I used to blog here. It’s been a minute (or whatever the kids are saying these days). I didn’t mean to ghost out on you all but I needed a breather. Between the baby and the new business, I was straight up stressed out and the blog was starting to feel like a…
