Okay, I’ll be honest. When I was picking recipes this week, this is what I wanted to cook: Nachos Cheesy Broccoli and Shells Calzones Carbs, cheese, and more carbs Cake for dinner, anyone? Yup, that’s about it. But Grown-up Hannah has a tiny bit of self-control (not a ton), and I’m pretty proud of how…
Sunday Meal Planning
I may or may not receive way too many emails about food each week. Maybe 5 emails a day? Maybe 25. They pile up quickly, and I delete all but the ones that make me the most happy. So why do I mention that? Well, I meal plan for us every week. It’s the only…

Blueberry Cake with Lemon Buttercream Icing
Okay, so mid-November ’tis not the season for blueberries and lemon buttercream, but Scott’s mom recently found this recipe and passed it on to me.
