Hi Reader, Happy Tuesday...that feels like a Monday! We had a really fun trip to Chicago to celebrate Rosie's birthday this weekend. We visited the American Girl Doll store, the Shedd Aquarium, and fed peanuts to squirrels in a park with a very nice older man (possibly her favorite part). Since Robert & the girls had never taken the train before, that's what I booked thinking it would be a fun adventure. The trip there was smooth & peaceful but yesterday, our train home was cancelled at the...

Hi Reader, Ask anyone what they remember most about a really good cookout, and more often than not, it's not the meat and the hot dogs. It's that one side dish that was so good they went back four times and then asked for the recipe on the way out! So this year, bring one of these 9 sides to your cookout. They’re crowd pleasing, easy to make ahead, and always the first things to disappear. 9 Memorial Day Cookout Sides My Two-in-One Egg Potato Salad My Famous One-Pan Corn Dip The BEST Pasta...

Hi Reader, Mother's Day is one of those holidays that hits differently depending on the year. Some people are celebrating, some are missing their mom, some have complicated feelings about the whole day. Whatever this Sunday looks like for you, I hope there's something easy on the table. My Midwest might be showing, but I love a good casserole. They can feed you for three days, they don't need much once they're in the oven (or crockpot), and they almost always taste better the next day. 8...

Hi Reader- While I was in North Carolina, I got a delivery of some of my favorite frozen potatoes. We like to have fries as a side dish but I don't always feel like making them from scratch. It's hard to an organic option (made with avocado oil & not seed oils), so I was excited to find Roots! I originally got their sweet potato fries and "toast" (they're like slabs of potato & so good - perfect with a fried egg!) but now they have all kinds of wedges, tots, & fries. They can be a little...
