Baked Bree

A few days ago, William asked me to buy him some new colored pencils. I spent most of my childhood coloring and drawing and love that he loves to do this as much as I do. I went on Amazon and bought him a set of Prismacolors. He was so cute...

It seems like the world is becoming a scarier place day by day. It seems like every time I turn on the TV, there is heartbreak and devastation. This week is no different. My heart is heavy for the people of Oklahoma. I don’t really think that there is much that I...

If you have been to my house for dinner in the last few months, there is a good chance that I have made you this steak for dinner. I think that this was my 5th time making this. I love this recipe. It is easy, and incredibly delicious. I like to use flank...

This was one of those weeks when we had something to do every day and every night. I am sitting on my couch, watching Saturday morning cooking shows on the Food Network, and couldn’t be happier. It is almost 11am, we didn’t get up until almost 9, we had all of the kids...

I am so not a morning person. I really, really, really want to be, but it does not appear that is in my character to be my best self in the wee hours of the morning. I need time in the morning to wake up, even after I have been out of bed...

We started our weekend with our first trip to the farmer’s market. Spring is in full swing – ramps, zucchini blossoms, lilacs were abundant. I had forgotten how much I love the farmer’s market. We didn’t have one last year in Kansas (well, there is a great one, but it was...

Mother’s Day is coming up, did you know that? It is time to get mom a special gift and say thank you for all that she did and still does for us. My mom loves rhubarb, and when I saw this drink (she loves those too) in this month’s
