The house is still quiet when I rise from my bed. Most mornings, the smell of brewed coffee greets me, but today I am the first to tread the creaking floorboards. After the normal Friday rituals— Bible, coffee, Instagram— I find myself in the kitchen, mixing flour and water together in anticipation of crusty bread. … Continue reading Traditions: Soup Sunday
Happy #menumonday, friends! As you probably saw in my post from last week, I had foot surgery a week ago. I'm recovering well, and even was able to make dinner on Thursday (it was a quick and easy one, I promise). True to form, my biggest struggle so far is remembering to take it easy … Continue reading Menu Monday 8.16.21

It's #menumonday! I gotta be honest. Today I'm feeling down. Yesterday, our governor announced new restrictions due to our case count here is Washington, and heading into my favorite season of the year, it's a bit of a tough pill to swallow. This time of year, I'm normally in full on 'Dance Mom' mode, baking … Continue reading {Menu Monday 11.16.20}
