Meet the Family!

Before we go any farther, I thought it would be great to introduce you to myself & my sweet family!

I’m Leah, otherwise known as the “bake at home Mama”!  I’m in my thirties and have always wanted to start a foodie blog!  I LOVE to spend time in the kitchen, it’s really my happy place.  I also love spending time with my family…they are my pure love & joy!  I also work full time, which is something I do not love.  If we were made of money or knew how to grow a “money tree” in our backyard I would stay home with my kids FULL time.  Staying home with my kids would be absolutely amazing, but unfortunately, we don’t have a money tree out back.

Foodie Friday

Happy Friday, Friends!

I thought each Friday it would be fun to showcase some fun foodie pictures, blogs, eats & other fun findings from around the interwebs [plus, I don’t have a recipe post ready, but will definitely have one over the weekend!].  Enjoy!

I’ve been loving and craving EVERYTHING s’mores lately and this S’mores Ice Cream Pie from Two Peas & Their Pod looks amazing!

Gah, these Minion Cake Pops from Bakerella are about as cute as they come!  Sorry, Dafney & Hendrix, your Mother will never be able to make cake pops this nice.  Everything Bakerella posts is equally amazing to look at! Continue reading “Foodie Friday”

Corn Fritters

Corn fritters bring me back to my childhood days.  I clearly remember when my Mom would make these special “treats” for lunch [or even better, for dinner!].  She always served the fritters with a generous amount of Maple Syrup!  I mean, seriously, what kid wouldn’t love these?!

They are about as easy as it gets to make and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner…or for a snack!  Plus, they can be made 1,000 different ways [you’ll see variations of these little fritters in later posts].   Continue reading “Corn Fritters”

A big FIRST post welcome!

Hello & welcome to my little space on the interwebs!  I am beyond excited about starting this blog!  It has always been a goal of mine to start a food blog and I’m finally making it happen [better late than never, right!?].  I plan to share a bit about my amazingly crazy & sweet family and a ton of family approved recipes!  I can’t wait to get started!

Just a quick introduction…my name is Leah and I’m in my thirties.  I’m married to my best friend and amazing baby daddy, Kyle.  We have been married for 5 years [apparently time really does fly by when you’re having fun] and have 2 kids!  our daughter is a sweet, sassy, funny 3.5 year old!  And our sweet little man is 15 weeks old.  On top of raising 2 kids, I work full time [hoping that will change someday and I’ll be able to work part time, or even better be a real life stay at home Mom].  Life is busy, but it’s so rewarding.  I don’t always have time to make elaborate, time-consuming meals, but I do feel it’s important to make [semi] home cooked meals for my family!  And, I love when they are meals that my daughter can help me with.  The Kitchen is my happy place and love spending time there!  I know the saying says ..”too many cooks in the kitchen…”, but I think the more the merrier!

With such a busy life, I hope to post 3-4 times a week [more would be great, but maybe not completely realistic].  Most of those posts will be all things food, but I will throw in posts about my family & our fun adventures!  Hope you join me on this tasty ride!
