Week 23 is here. Apparently, babies don’t grow an inch this last week. Holding steady at 11 inches. The food this week? A carrot. As long as an average carrot. So, I decided to make a dish I loved as a kid-roasted carrots. I added a smear of tangy yogurt mixed with warm spices and …
Week 22 and our son is 11 inches long. Time is flying by. We are at the size of a spaghetti squash! Now, spaghetti squash isn’t my favorite squash. It’s ok. I’ve tried substituting it for pasta and I didn’t think that was fun. Who wants crunchy juicy flavor-less squash strands when you can have …

Mango Sticky Rice! I have always loved this not-too-sweet dessert. We enjoyed lots of it when we honeymooned in Thailand. I was always afraid to make it as there seemed to be so many steps. Once you go through and make it the steps become less intimidating. It’s like you have to learn how to …
Sweet Potato Pie. What a yummy excuse to eat orange vegetables:) This is an easy pie to make and it tastes so dang good. I even prefer it to Pumpkin Pie.

Is this even a “bread”? Ha! It’s not. It’s cake for breakfast. Let’s call it what it is. So moist and deeply lemony with all that zest and juice-it’s divine.

My mom was a great self taught chef. This cake was one of those things we had regularly int he house for dessert. It’s made with a lot of eggs so I think she was thinking she was sneaking some extra protein in with our desserts. It also has zero added fat-the yolks provide all …
I love a simple dinner party cake. The kind that is forgiving with presentation and time. Vanilla is my all time favorite flavor of most desserts. This one has triple vanilla as you use Vanilla bean past, vanilla extract and the scrapings of one vanilla bean pod. The little flecks of vanilla show up in …
