When we were in Hawaii last fall, my parents watched the kids one night so Mike and I could have a date night. We went to eat at a restaurant called Fleetwood’s (as in Mick) where we had a delicious meal while we watched the sun set over Molokai. My drink from that night stands…

I stopped posting recipes at this time last year because I’d finished Mike’s “cook once a week” challenge…and because that’s when I found out I was pregnant with James, and the hyperemesis had already started!

This post is sponsored by Safeway stores-Safeway, Dominicks, Tom Thumb, Vons, Randalls. Tastier for the holidays! Mike, Annie, and I always spend Thanksgiving with Mike’s family in Northern California.

I love the fall. Great sports, changing leaves, cool weather (in theory – not here), and delicious food.

I realized this morning that we’ve been in our house a year now, which means I’m at the end of Mike’s cooking challenge. While I didn’t achieve cooking something weekly, thanks to life events and the like, I came close. And, I found that cooking is not as hard as I thought, although I’m not…

There’s a lovely town a few hours up the coast from us called Solvang that was established by a group of Danes, and even today it’s like a little slice of Denmark right here in California. Mike and I love escaping there. Several years ago our friends were married there, which resulted in a fun…

I’m always looking for easy recipes, and my Aunt Lynn told me that she had a simple and delicious biscuit recipe of my Nana’s that she often used. Annabel loves anything you can put butter on, so I had my aunt come over and we made my Nana’s light and fluffy three ingredient biscuits! Nana’s…
