My daughter asked for comfort food. One of our favorites is pasta with a creamy sauce. We had some Italian sausage to use up and a creamy spaghetti sauce was the perfect bowl of comfort food. Verdict: This made my daughter so happy. Her college food has been awful and she has really struggled at…

Old Fashioned Au Gratin Potatoes
Day 51 – With the “Stay Home. Stay Safe” order extended here until May 28th both kids are searching for what this all means for them. We had the dreaded conversation in our house about school in the fall. Both kids have been questioning what school will look like when they go back in September…

Hygge, Coming to the Midwest
