I have a confession to make. Tonight I went to Starbucks to work on some blogging (which is not a good idea considering I was really distracted by all the conversations going on around me, I got to know these two people sitting next to me, way more than I wanted to!) My Confession: I did order a drink, but I brought my own dessert to eat with my coffee, I wrapped it in a napkin and put it in my purse :) I had been wanting to try this recipe from everybody likes sandwiches all week. The only thing that I changed about her recipe was that I doubled it and used a 9×13 inch pan instead of the 8×8. And wow, what a delicious dessert bar! The flavor was amazing and the smell in the kitchen was very inviting, it finished cooking before dinner which made it hard to want to eat dinner first. I’m glad I tried this recipe, thanks!

Contrary to what previous studies have shown, coconut oil is actually very good for you! I often start my day with a tablespoon of coconut oil, no I don’t just eat it by itself! I melt it and put it in a smoothie or put it in my oatmeal sometimes, but my favorite way to get my coconut oil is cooked with eggs and vegetables. There are so many health benefits of coconut oil; weight loss, lowering chances of heart disease, it aides in digestion, contains anti-fungal properties, to name just a few. I found a great article on the benefits of coconut oil on Organic Facts. I created a simple recipe here for a really healthy breakfast. Hope you enjoy it!

I’ve been meaning to post this recipe for Jambalaya for some time now, so here it is, finally! I was pretty impressed with the flavor in this recipe. We are not huge on really spicy foods, especially because we want to make it enjoyable and kid-friendly. You can always add more spices or use spicier sausage, I think we used Italian sausage which turned out to be a little too spicy for most of our kids, we will use something even more mild next time. Other than that, this dish turned out to be a great tasty family meal that we all enjoyed.
When do I start to give my baby solids? What kind of food do I feed him first? How much do I give him? How do I know when he’s done? Are store bought foods safe or healthy for my baby? Is it realistic to make my own? When is he ready for finger foods? I remember so many of these questions running through my mind as a first time mom, everything is new and I want to do it right. In this post I will go through a few of things that I have learned about feeding babies their first solids.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Jenni Burns, I'm on a journey of discovering the many joys found in being a homemaker. I started this blog as a place to help me keep my many recipes, and it's kind of transformed into a blog about what we are eating right now :) Currently our family is on a journey to become more healthy, AND I'm expecting our seventh child in June! We are doing the Paleo/Hunter Gatherer Diet, and making big changes in how we eat! I hope you find something to encourage you in your journey!
