Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts
As with all things parenting, there is far too much information out there. Camps of people who adamantly swear that their seven step method is sure to cure any sleep challenges, or that certain activities are the best brain boosters. Over our last 6 months of new parenthood we’ve walked cautiously and occasionally unsteadily through […]
Crock Pot Chicken and Lentil Stew
A few weeks ago my blog turned 4! Four whole years of teaching myself to cook and building my confidence in the kitchen. Over the course of almost 200 recipes I’ve built a battery of weeknight dishes, learned how to prepare healthy lunches for the week, experimented with the instant pot, and become more and […]
The Polish Hoagie Experiment
The ‘experiment’ category here on the blog is a place where I keep the records of recipes that I’ve thrown together on the fly. Sometimes these are things that I make up when digging through the pantry, or they are an idea I have in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. I’ve […]
Paprika Beef Chili
Recently on a pantry clean out I found FOUR containers of paprika. FOUR! So – I set out to make a few dishes with hearty servings of this spice in order to whittle down my stash. The first dish I made was a paprika roasted sheet pan chicken. I had high hopes of this one […]

Simple Sunday Shakshuka
As I’ve written before, several times actually, I love podcasts! Recently a friend suggested I listen to “Happier”, by Gretchen Rubin, which is all about small ways you can make your life just a bit more joyful. Each episode includes some ‘try this at home’ strategies along with the perfect amount of light-hearted banter between […]
Bacon Wrapped Apple Stuffed Pork
Yes, everything is indeed better when it is wrapped in bacon. We’ve started holding more Sunday evening family dinners, and this past week we served up this delicious stuffed pork loin. A countertop full of freshly picked apples had us debating between homemade warm chunky applesauce or apple crisp. While the crisp won out, […]
Pesto Shrimp and Broccoli over Cauliflower Puree
As winter descends I’m feeling tremendous sadness about not having natural light when cooking in the evenings – particularly after the fun I’ve had and progress I made over the summer with my photography! Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m still no professional… my pictures are taken from my phone and I don’t do any […]
Green Chicken Salad
We’ve all gotten to that point in the middle of the day when you are famished but realize that you didn’t pack a lunch! For teachers that this means that you likely won’t eat until the school day is over because, let’s be honest, who has time to leave the building during your 20 minutes […]
