Turnip and Potato Soup with Smoky Cheese Toasts
We are experiencing a crazy March heat wave down here. I am not ready for summer. I mean, come on.. I’m not done making soup yet! We got a big bunch of turnips last week from our farmer. At that time, it wasn’t 85 degrees, so this was the perfect lunch. I used my […]
Roasted Cabbage with Quick Balsamic Reduction
So St. Patrick’s Day fast approaches.. do you celebrate? I am in the midst of planning a very lucky, very green birthday party for my 2-year-old. His party falls on St. Patrick’s this year, so we decided to embrace the theme and get our green on. As you might imagine, we won’t be serving corned […]
Chocolate Beet Cake
Recently, I’ve been getting into baking full-size cakes. It seems like there are never enough occasions that call for a big, beautiful cake. After having my cupcake business in Ohio, I am much more inclined to bake cakes than cupcakes now (like the rainbow cake and the strawberry cake). Since I was experimenting with […]
Sweet Beet Pancakes
Oh, how the times have changed. If you told me five years ago that I’d be recommending that you eat beets in any form, I would have laughed in your face. But here I am, about to tell you why you need to make beet pancakes- and soon. This weekend, I had my first experience […]
Coconut Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Lesson learned so far in life with two babies: sometimes you will just need to make cookies. In some ways, parenting two has been easier than I thought. I bounced back from the birth easier, I am actually able to get us all out of the house in a decent amount of time, I can […]
Farmer’s Soup with Turnips, Spinach and Butternut Squash
I have Hilton to thank for this soup. Hilton is a local farmer who has recently set up shop in our town, selling his organic vegetables to people like me who are dying to have a real farmers’ market. For $20, you bring your own bag and he fills it to the brim with produce. […]
Frozen Smoothie Bags
I am very excited to share this idea with you today! If you are looking to streamline your morning routine or looking for a quick and healthy mini-meal or snack for the kids, pay attention! This is a good one. I was inspired to make these frozen smoothie bags by The Tidy Nest‘s make-ahead freezer […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chia Bites
If you spend any time on these vast internets searching for recipes (which you probably do since you’re reading this blog), you may have noticed the trend in bite-sized snacks. There are the sweeter types like cake balls/cake pops and cookie dough balls as well as healthier versions like raw energy balls. I’ve been wanting […]
Fresh Strawberry Cake with Cream Cheese Swiss Meringue Buttercream
I am considering this Lucy’s very first birthday cake. Okay, okay.. right now, it’s more for Mama than it is for little Lucy, but I will certainly make it for her again some day. Lucille Naomi joined the world a week ago today; at home, in the water, and much quicker than I expected. But […]
Guest Post: Tomato Pesto & Mozzarella Melts
Hey there, “Oven Love” readers! My name is Tina, from My Life as a Mrs! Natalie and I met in Atlanta last year at the BlogHer Food conference (Photo Here)… & we hit it off immediately! It’s hard to NOT hit it off with Natalie – she is super sweet, bubbly, and an absolutely gorgeous person inside and out! 🙂 Anyhow, since […]
