Hot Cocoa Mix and The Power of Intentional Nurturing
We’re on our third snow day here in Bend so I thought it would be a good time to finally post this super simple hot cocoa mix recipe in case you run out of store-bought stuff. I wrote what follows a few weeks ago but I had no pictures to go along with it as hot cocoa is usually made spur of the moment and consumed quickly around here.

Peanut Butter Frosting
Jump to Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe
I love frosting. Don’t tell my husband or my dog but I kind of want it to be my Valentine. It shouldn’t be too fancy. I like a smooth European buttercream as much as the next person but give me a fluffy, sweet, powdered sugary American buttercream and I simply can’t stop eating it. It completes me.

Quick Fresh Guacamole
They started digging on our lot this week and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Hailey took this picture on Monday which was day one and I love how the light is shining through the trees. I’ll keep updating progress in posts as construction moves forward. It will be cool to have a diary of the build. Continue reading “Quick Fresh Guacamole”

Vegetarian Burrito with Black Beans
Jump to Vegetarian Burrito Recipe
Happy New Year! Since most of us are burned out on heavy holiday fare I thought I’d start 2019 with my vegetarian burrito recipe. It’s a delicious way to add more veggies to your family’s busy weeknight and you can customize with anything in your fridge or pantry. Make it vegan by skipping the dairy items and use gluten-free tortillas or no tortilla at all if you’re off gluten or carbs.

Sesame Ginger Slaw
There’s so much good stuff in this sesame ginger slaw. Fresh ginger, garlic, honey, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, tons of crunchy veggies, and cilantro. Addictively delicious and super nutritious; my favorite combination. Continue reading “Sesame Ginger Slaw”
Boring
No new recipe, I haven’t been in the mood. I decided to share this with you today though on the off-chance you might find it helpful or interesting. It’s a subject that has weighed heavy on my mind for way too long and now I have to navigate with my girls. I’d like to crush it. Any help or advice is appreciated. Continue reading “Boring”
