One of the lactation consultants gave me this recipe during our hospital stay after I delivered Little Brother. I made them within a couple days of coming home.

People think I'm creative because I make stuff all the time, but really I'm just following other people's instructions. My Type A personality is happy that… Continue reading Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

Healthy Breakfast for a Crowd
Yesterday I woke up to cloudy skies. I was hoping to get outside for some yard work, but I dawdled around the house too long, writing about the best chocolate cake ever. Before I knew it the clouds opened up and dumped rain all over everything. And they continued to do that until the afternoon.… Continue reading Healthy Breakfast for a Crowd
