At least once a week I try to make some sort of special breakfast. It’s not anything involved or extravagant, just a small treat that makes us linger a little longer around the table. I’m so aware that my time with my kids being little is fleeting and precious. I feel like each meal together…
Spicy Italian Pizza
One of my favorite things about going out to dinner with Currey is when he leans over during a meal and tells me that I could recreate whatever it is we are eating at home. It’s a boost of confidence and reassuring that he thinks I can recreate restaurant dishes at home. The best part…
