It’s daddy’s turn to make some baby food. Or as Moira Rose would say ‘Bebe’ food. Knowing what Liam likes, I wanted to step it up with some protein and flavor. He loves peas and string beans. I guess every baby loves these, but he LOVES them. Flipping through the Real Baby Food cookbook, I came across this blend of oven roasted string beans and quinoa (and peanut butter and mint).…
Brian and I were excited once we got the green light from the pediatrician to start Liam on solids. In the beginning, it was a slow process, but he went from rejecting oatmeal to wanting nothing but oatmeal. Our son is just like me when it comes to eating.

When it’s hot out, it’s annoying to turn on the oven. Even with the air conditioning on, when the…
This post on Muddy Buddies was originally published in August 2012. Pictures and text have been updated. Basically we gave this post an overhaul. Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) have been around for what seems like forever. However I never had them nor heard of them until I worked as an Orientation Leader in college. In the weeks leading up to our first new student orientation, the Orientation Leaders (or known as…
I love peanut butter. There are a few flavors I could live without, and peanut butter is one of them. If I ever develop a peanut allergy, I think my world would collapse. These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are perfect for all of my peanut butter lovers out there. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are one of my favorite lunches to date. One day, when I’m running a global company,…

The chocolate peanut butter combination won…
