Soft Corn Tacos with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Poblano Peppers, and Corn


Can someone please just ask me if my kid is sleeping through the night already?????????

I feel like people ask you this all the time starting from when your baby is, like, 1 week old.
And you have to be all “Errrr, uhhh, (insert downward glance/ashamed face) no.”
BECAUSE WHAT ONE WEEK OLD SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT?!
And also, side note, why as a society are we obsessed with forcing our littlest ones to sleep for twelve hours at a time without eating? I don’t even go twelve hours without eating and I’m an ADULT. This is normal human behavior! FEED YOUR BABIES PEOPLE.
End rant.

Anyways, can someone PLEASE ask me again because this time I can finally say, at 14 months of age….my baby sleeps through the night! In her own bedroom! (Because, yeah, she was also sleeping through the night in MY bed, latched onto my boob for 8 hours straight. But apparently that doesn’t count??)
I really shouldn’t have said anything because I’m totally going to jinx it, BUT it’s been almost two weeks. So I think we’re good? Until she gets a tooth or the wind changes or something. Kids are fickle like that.

I’ve always been a MAJOR supporter of the idea that sleep is developmental and your kid will sleep on their own when they’re ready and not a minute before. This has made me believe that EVEN MORE.
Because one night Remy was waking up at 1AM and then sleeping in our bed for the rest of the night. And the next she was sleeping in her own bed until 5:30-7:30AM. (It’s variable.)
Honestly, we did absolutely nothing to make this happen. Mike claims that we did crying it out because he let her cry for five minutes the first night and then she put herself back to sleep, but I don’t really believe that’s it because we did that like a million nights previously and it did nothing.
She was just ready. And the rest is history.
Soft Corn Tacos with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Poblano Peppers, and Corn
Tacos to celebrate??
They’re the best way.
These are full of sweet smoky spicy caramelized roasted veggies, salty cotija cheese, and hearty black beans. Yeah, you have to turn the oven on, but you could probably also grill the veggies for an even better, deeper flavor. If you try it let me know!
And please please please, if you’re a momma with a kiddo who isn’t sleeping through the night yet, don’t let this post stress you out! If it can happen for me, it can happen for you. I promise.

spicy turkey taco salad with baja dressing.

spicy turkey taco salad with baja dressing. Making Thursday night tacos a thing, with this Spicy Turkey Taco Salad with Baja Dressing. Chipotle chili seasoned turkey taco meat, mixed with fresh greens, black beans, avocado, mango, and a little cheddar cheese too. Topped with tortilla chips for crunch, and finished with a creamy Baja style dressing that’s spicy and cooling. SO GOOD. If you’re looking for a non-boring salad, this is it! Raise your hand if you ate tacos at least once or twice a week growing up? My brothers and I were served ground beef tacos all the time as kids. Tacos were an easy, quick dinner that my dad could make in under 30 minutes. They were a dinner that every single one of his kids would eat. So all 7 of us… OK. So back then Asher was non-existent (which is soooo weird to think about life without Asher!), and Red was just a baby. So I guess it was more like 5 of his kids. Still, we all ate them, and we all loved them. Mom and I preferred hard shells wit...

blueberry macarons with blueberry mascarpone cream

blueberry macarons with blueberry mascarpone cream Blueberry macarons flavored with freeze-dried blueberry powder and filled with a barely sweet blueberry mascarpone filling. There’s no better time than the afternoon before your daughter’s first birthday party to figure out whether your ELECTRIC (<–GROAN) oven can handle macaron baking. I mean, it’s not like you have an 18-inch sheet cake and a sugar free triple layer smash cake and DINNER still to make, or anything like that. Yeah, about that….. But guys! Good news! My oven makes BEAUTIFUL macarons!!! I’m so happy to have found that out a month before we have to move out and I have to get used to a whole new oven. I have the best timing. Really. See above. Or maybe the oven has nothing to do with it and somehow by  not  making macarons for almost two years, I’ve somehow refined my skillz? Or born-again beginner’s luck? Whatever kind of hocus pocus was in the air that day, hey! I’ll take it. As I’ve mentioned only  ad ...

crispy chipotle chicken tacos with cilantro lime ranch.

crispy chipotle chicken tacos with cilantro lime ranch. Weeknight style Cheesy Baked Crispy Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Cilantro Lime Ranch…and all the toppings. Because loaded tacos are just better. Ground chicken seasoned with a smoky chipotle chili spice mix, stuffed into hard shell tacos, topped with cheese, and oven-baked. These tacos are crunchy on the outside, but spicy and cheesy inside.

It probably wasn’t until I started ...

blog flog: baklava with alberta honey

blog flog: baklava with alberta honey Baklava is one of my favourite things—I love honey, and crisp phyllo as a carrier, with layers of chopped nuts. It’s something few of us consider making from scratch… it seems like a fancy, finicky thing, but the truth is, it’s not. Phyllo is very forgivable, so you can layer it with butter, honey, nuts and spices and however you shape and cut it, it will be delicious. (If it looks like a disaster, call it baklava mess, and serve it in a dish, with a fork and an extra drizzle of honey, as if you intended to do it that way all along.)
