It's after Memorial Day, which means it's basically summer, which means my kids aren't supposed to get sick. Yet, somehow, they are. Max came home from school yesterday not feeling so hot, and by this morning it had spread like wildfire throughout the house (minus my husband and I... for now). Lilah is doing alright, but Theo and Ella are in rough shape. I put a call in to our ... Read More
Honey Pecan Buttercream Icing
You guys, I am SO ready for spring. Like beyond ready. We have been fortunate around here to get a few sneak peeks over the last month or so, but then last week we were hammered with a Nor'easter. I'm in the minority here, I know, but I actually like winter for awhile... until March hits, and then I am so over it. I just can't take anymore snow. I need green ... Read More
Super Easy Snickerdoodle Cookies
I think that one of the biggest misconceptions about baking during the holidays is that you have to spend hours in the kitchen. As much as I love to cook and bake, with three young kids and one on the way, I just don't have time for that kind of commitment this year. I don't think that making tasty baked goods needs to be some huge production, I just think the end result needs ... Read More
Caramel Candy Bar Cheesecake
I have a confession to make. As much as I love to bake, I have never before made a cheesecake at home. I don't know why, but to be honest, I've always been a little intimidated by the process. Like there might just be one too many steps involved, or special equipment required, and even though I am a HUGE cheesecake fan, I've just never been brave enough to ... Read More
Chewy Toffee Pretzel Cookies
As you can probably imagine, life has been pretty busy around here lately. Our recent move has left me scrambling to get our new house in order, and with three kids around, that isn't always easy. Even with Max off in kindergarten most of the week now, I still have Ella and Theo at home, and even though things are slightly easier with just two, they still require a lot of my ... Read More
Super Simple Homemade Rustic Bread
Despite the fact that my husband and I have drastically cut back on our intake of processed carbohydrates over the last few months, we both agreed recently that we were really missing bread. We decided that it was time to treat ourselves, and Ezekial bread just wasn't going to do the trick. I had been wanting to try my hand at baking a loaf of rustic-style bread at home for ... Read More
Strawberry "Pop Tarts"
I think you all know by now, that I am NOT a food blogger, but every once in awhile I like to share a recipe that we love and use often. The other day I posted a photo of our homemade strawberry "pop tarts", on Instagram (@kozyandco), and so many people asked me for the recipe, that I thought I would share. ***Worth noting: There are 2 other ...
