In honor of Passionfruit opening their Marketplace today (that’s my page in the Marketplace above), I am offering $5 off ALL Oven Love ad spots! That means large ads are $20, medium ads are $10 and small ads are just $5 – that’s a steal, seriously. Use the promo code “iloveovenlovers” to take advantage of […]

Good morning! Join me at Modern Parents Messy Kids today with five ways to make overnight oats: traditional soaking, grab-and-go baked oatmeal, DIY oatmeal packets, crockpot oats and refrigerator oats. There’s certainly something for everyone (unless you are grain-free or you don’t like oats.. then you’re out of luck.) What’s your favorite way to eat […]

As you probably know, I’ve been working on healing some stomach problems (are you tired of hearing about it yet? haha). The first time I read about the healing power of bone broth was through the Weston A. Price Foundation. It made a lot of sense to me- finally I understood why homemade chicken soup […]

I just remembered that I like fish. How did I forget this? Reasons why: 1. It’s quick cooking. 2. You can flavor it with anything. 3. My kids eat it! 4. It’s good for you. 5. It’s beautiful to look at. 6. It makes me feel fancy. Seriously, I’m in love! I started getting these […]

I heart quick dinners. Don’t we all? Some nights there just isn’t time to mess around with the oven and the pots and the pans and the measuring cups and the nonsense. Some nights I just pull out the cast iron and see what happens. The night I made this skillet, I was lucky enough […]

I am a fool for this snack ball trend. They are so good! So easy to pull together! So much better to snack on then junk food! The one thing they don’t have going for them is a good name- Nut Balls is just awful. So is Snack Balls. Energy Balls? Nut Butter Balls? A […]

I know we usually talk about food around here, but today I want to talk about babies. More specifically, baby bottoms. Just a little segway from our normal topics of conversation.. no big deal. You probably know this (or maybe you’d just guess it from my other granola-mom-type interests), but my babies wear cloth diapers. […]

  In the interest of keeping it real, I just wanted to tell you what goes on behind the scenes of this jam-up blog of mine, lest you believe that I am churning out perfect recipes day in and day out. That chocolate cake up there? Looks so yummy, right? I experimented a bit with […]

I might need a Paleo baking intervention. I’ve gotten the hang of it now and the treats are flowing freely again in this house.. but my tummy troubles have not disappeared. (They are still undiagnosed.. go here for more of my story.) Now my wheels are turning again, trying to figure out why. I thought […]

    Sweet potatoes, bacon, poached eggs. My darlings. I have been eating this combination regularly for weeks and I just can’t get enough. I am a like a bottomless pit of eggs and bacon- the vegetables are just thrown in for variety and nutrition (and because we would go bankrupt eating pastured bacon every […]

Join me at Modern Parents Messy Kids today for some tips on meal planning. I am definitely not the expert when it comes to putting meal planning into practice, so I really wrote this post for myself. Hopefully you can get some useful tips out of it, too. Happy planning! 🙂  

  You guys, I bought a donut pan! I found it at T.J. Maxx for like five bucks, so it basically jumped in my cart and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Now we can have donuts together every day! I want to know who came up with the maple bacon combo first. I would […]
