Homemade Oreo Ice Cream
So I’m realizing that with the business, and with baby number 2 on the way and a toddler pulling at my arm, I have way less time to blog than I did previously. Sorry its been so long, folks! This recipe was incredible. A custard-based ice cream with crushed whole oreos mixed in. So. Good. [...

Thick and creamy mushroom soup
Things have been pretty busy over here in the DuVal household. We’ve had multiple colds and viruses over the past few weeks, and Anna is as busy as ever. Most days, we find we need to get her out of the house or she goes stir crazy. Combine that with the business and, (drumroll please) [...

Easy Whole Grain Cinnamon Buns
Good Morning! It has been so long since I’ve last blogged. Sorry about that. Things have been absolutely nuts over here. Mid-January, I left my full-time job at EIA for a part-time position with an agency in order to spend more time with Anna. I just couldn’t handle the full-time hour...

Deliciously Addictive Potatoes
Tis the season to be busy. I swear, I haven’t had a weekend day where I haven’t been running around for a while. It been a little exhausting. I took some time to cook some super delicious food this weekend, though. For a nice pre-Christmas lunch at my parents, I made deliciously addic...
