Organic Smash cake with Strawberry + Beet Icing
When I began planning Harper’s first birthday, one thing I knew for sure is that my friend Sarah needed to make her smash cake. Sarah is a fellow crunchy mama, a mom of all trades, she makes amazing cakes, creates the best DIY Projects (that she actually finishes), all the while working on her Masters at the University of South Carolina. Her two littles are my children’s friends and we try and spend as much time with them as we can. I told her my vision of Harper’s organic cake and she recreated my idea perfectly!

Two Ingredient Pancakes and Raspberry Chia Seed Jam
When Nolan started eating actual foods, I was so excited! He could suck down a food pouch in no time!

Seared Tuna with Brussels Sprouts and Fries
When you cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner pretty much every day, you need to look around for recipes that inspire you to make something different so you don’t get stuck in a cooking rut. I am an avid Pinterest addict, and my love for food does not help that addiction at all. I could pin food for hours! I’ve been trying to incorporate new veggies into our meals because I am far too comfortable boiling frozen corn from our garden and calling it a day. Brussel sprouts have always been a vegetable that intrigued me, and this year, I look forward to adding them to my garden because of how cool they…
