About our blog

This blog began as an attempt to keep our family and friends included in the adventures of little Baby Blakely until he made his appearance in the world. Now, this has become a gathering place for all of our various adventures as we continue to enjoy time as a growing family.

Grilled pizza

It's high time we put out another recipe review. This time, daddy is taking the reins and bringing ya'll the good stuff. For the record, momma and BB helped a lot in the creation of this masterpiece but daddy got to play with the fire. Yes, that's right, it's time to review one of our favorite, and most versatile, recipe's: grilled pizzas!

What's For Dinner?

Noah isn't old enough to ask that question yet, which is great because I ask it of myself plenty enough!

Vegetarian Makeover

Josh and I have been vegetarians for almost two years now (Noah's always been a vegetarian).  It was such an easy switch for us that sometimes it's hard to remember ever eating meat.  Occasionally though, one of us craves a dish from our former carnivore lifestyle.  That's when we get creative and come up with a vegetarian makeover of the recipe.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't....and sometimes it's even better than the meat version!

Blueberry Compote

We often find ourselves with leftover sandwich bread here in the Blakely household.  Josh and I will eat PB&Js and pimento cheese sandwiches, and we all love a good grilled cheese, but we just tend to eat things other than sandwiches most of the time.  So tonight I realized we had a whole loaf we had yet to open and I really hate wasting food.  I knew we also had eggs to use up, so french toast for dinner it was!

Roasted Red Potatoes!

I love potatoes!  I love how versatile they are.  Baked, fried, roasted, in soups, frittatas, side items...with breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Yum!

One of my absolute favorite ways to fix red potatoes is to roast them.  So easy.  So delicious.  And it makes the perfect side item for tons of different dishes.  Here's what you need for about 3-4 servings of roasted red potatoes:

"What do you mean he doesn't eat meat?"

Oh boy!  If you want a boat load of unsolicited child rearing advice, strange crazy looks, and a basic commentary on what it mean to "be American," just tell folks that you are raising your child a vegetarian.  I can't tell you how many times Josh and I have heard that question..."What do you mean he doesn't eat meat?"  You would think we are killing our son by the looks we get from people.

But yes, readers, Noah is a vegetarian.
