So for those of you waiting with bated breath (I’m actually pretty sure no one is waiting with bated breath to hear about anything I say unless it’s my kids waiting to hear if I’m going to let them play Mario Kart on any day other than a Friday) to hear the conclusion of my… Read Post

As I’ve mentioned a time or two, I hate lunchtime. I hate figuring out what I want to eat. I hate figuring out what to feed my kids. I hate it when my husband comes home from work and tells me that at work, lunch was catered or they went to some fun restaurant. If… Read Post

Did you all have a happy 4th?  Hopefully you ate lots of yummy food and saw lots of sparkly fireworks and all around had a great time.   Since it’s Monday I thought I’d start us off with something fun this week.  Attention, attention! You do not need an ice cream maker to make this!  It’s… Read Post

Every Sunday this month we’re going to share a “Quick Fix” meal with you. These are things that we don’t necessarily need an entire recipe and step by step photos for. It’s more of an idea of things you can throw together for a quick and delicious meal. And since we’re celebrating feta this month-… Read Post

So imagine, if you will, a hot, steamy Louisiana afternoon. I was a hot, sweaty mess from cooking, cleaning, and shopping all day for a big birthday party the next day and Sara called to tell me we’d been invited to New York City. I was SO disappointed because I knew that after the crazy… Read Post

Hello everyone!  We have had such a busy week here at OBB.  In fact, we have so much going on that we’ll probably sneak in an extra post this week to fit it all in.  First of all, thank you all so much for the well-wishes you sent my way.  We welcomed boy #3 into… Read Post

If you’re not linked up with us on Facebook, you may not have heard all the crazy, exciting goings-on with Sara and I right now! First and foremost, Sara had her baby on Friday–a healthy, ADORABLE, chubby and round baby boy. They’re both doing great. The other exciting thing that’s going on with us right… Read Post

If you’re anything like me, you have your flavors. You know what I’m talking about; the ones you spend time thinking about changing, just to be adventurous and try something new, only to panic at the last minute and go with your fall-back. It’s the reason that I’ve been ordering the teriyaki chicken burger at… Read Post

So I kind of recently came into the possession of 40 pounds of tomatoes. Long story. Don’t ask. Blonde–ish moment. Note to self: for future reference, 40 pounds is a LOT of tomatoes. Well, these tomatoes came to me pretty much perfect, which meant that I had about 2 days to figure out what I… Read Post

It wasn’t long ago that I was saying boo to summer weather and trading my oven-free dinners and ice cream posts for fresh baked cinnamon rolls. And while it’s still nice and mild here (hallelujah!) the sun has certainly been shining and I’ve finally been feeling the season.  I know it’s already scorching hot where… Read Post

So if any of you are fans of Modern Family, you probably know about Phil and Claire’s ongoing silent feud about the broken stair, right? And the fact that it never gets fixed? Well, the “broken stair” in my house is the hole in our deck that used to contain a dead tree until my… Read Post

As Kate mentioned in her Caramel Cake post, this week as an ode to Father’s Day, we’re sharing signature recipes from our own fathers!  Now looking at the picture to the right that might seem strange, but stick with me here. Growing up I had no idea what a “crepe” was.  But what I did… Read Post
