Day 19: My Must Have Kitchen Gadgets
There are so many kitchen gadgets on the market and to be quite honest, many I scoff at. Does the egg separator of the 80s really need to repeat itself with similar ludicrous patents? I imagine the sharks of shark tank scoffing with me. Can I offer one bit of advice? Don’t buy into kitchenContinue reading “Day 19: My Must Have Kitchen Gadgets”
Day 17 & 18: Who I Cook For
Cooking is enjoyable if, and only if, the cook has a reasonable expectation that the people being cooked for will eat with appreciation & enjoyment.–Keeping House Is it any wonder why mothers don’t enjoy the cooking process?

Day 11: Maybe the Table is the Church
Does 4:30 in the morning count for yesterday’s post or should we call it grace swapped for a tired mama falling asleep at 8:30 at night? I’ve been stewing lately about food at the table & church.

Day 7: Foods I Love
Today Caprice is 8 weeks old and it has gone by altogether too quickly. My appetite was hit or miss throughout pregnancy, while postpartum I have experienced the joys of eating.
