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

Happy #menumonday, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I think Iโm still full from our turkey dinner. We had a lovely meal with way too much food for just 6 of us, but it was a fun day, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

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}
