About Me

    

Me and the Husband 2010

  

Our Three Awesome Kids!

I live a fast paced life working full time, managing (and taxi-ing) three kids, ahusband, my father, two dogs and a cat. I would love to spend more time in the kitchen trying some of the wonderful recipes that exist on the world wide web of food blogs… there are some amazing ones out there! But I humble myself to bake and post when I can.  

I work for a school so I enjoy having school breaks off with my kids. Note that I am thoroughly looking forward to the upcoming summer break! I do a little photography on the side as a hobby, but it too requires a lot more time than I have to give.  

My blog was inspired and assembled to represent my true life. I take no shame in using a cake mix here and there… or finding shortcuts to meals and sweets. Though I try to make it a point to feed my family healthy, nourishing meals with as little processing as possible.  

Please visit my favorites, they have been a great inspiration to my blogging adventure!

    Laurel,
    I love your blog! You always have great recipes and great pics posted. Never knew you were so talented! I do have one question/ recipe I need help with. I am looking for a good recipe for apple chips. Have you ever had the ones in the produce depertment that are bagged up? I am not looking for the chewy kind like you would get with a dehydrator, but the crunchy ones. I haven’t found too many recipes online, but I might not be typing in the right thing. Let me know if you have any good ideas. I am looking for a good healthy snack, and we love those apple chips, but they are so expensive for one bag that is gone in 1 minute! Thanks in advance!

    Hey! Thank you. I havent made any personally or even searched for recipes, but I just shot over to a food blog search engine, typed in apple chips and got many returns. The first result is from a blog that I often refer to, so try that. It’s at [ http://foodblogsearch.com/ ]
