Hi Reader! Happy May! This year is humming right along, isn’t it?! We had a fun yet busy month with my boys starting baseball and finally being able to spend more time outdoors.

Hi Reader! The Midwest has reached the portion of spring where otherwise warm and sunny days are interrupted by howling wind gusts. The type of wind that makes me reconsider my deep desire to travel back in time and live in an 1850's log cabin in the woods. 🌲 Anyway, thank goodness for modern insulation — and appliances while we're at it. No wood-burning fire needed to whip up a batch of Air Fryer Chicken Breasts! This is one of my favorite "It's 4pm and I've got nothing planned for dinner."...

Hi Reader! We all have “deal breaker” foods, right? I.e. ingredients that cause you to move on from a recipe if you see them in the dish? For me, these are expensive or hard to find ingredients like pine nuts (which is why my homemade pesto recipe doesn’t call for them) or an item I know will sit in the pantry collecting dust after one use, like protein powder.

Hi Reader! My husband's favorite dessert is Blueberry Pie so it was no surprise to find him devouring these epic Gluten Free Blueberry Pie Bars straight out of the pan with a fork last week. It was surprising to see my middle child right there with him holding a fork of his own. Those two are thick as thieves — and share the same sweet tooth! 😂 Whether you're young or old(ish) you'll go crazy for these bars too. A buttery crust and crumb topping sandwich juicy blueberry pie filling with notes...
