Weighty issues (oh, and slow cooker thyme pork roast)

January 7, 2016January 8, 2016 / Meg / 18 Comments

I think I set a record on Sunday. The very first person — ever, in the history of kitchens — to call out, “Oh, don’t even TELL me we’re out of caraway seed.” Because … who uses caraway seed? And who uses caraway seed so often that they actually fear running out of it? (Well, … Continue reading Weighty issues (oh, and slow cooker thyme pork roast)

Creamy chicken and wild rice soup in the slow cooker

September 13, 2015September 18, 2015 / Meg / 18 Comments

There aren’t too many slow cooker recipes we eat every. drop. of.

We both love to cook and enjoy coming up with creative dinners, but we … Continue reading Tuscan chicken stew in the slow cooker

June 24, 2014June 24, 2014 / Meg / 9 Comments

We’re all about quick, filling eats around here. Preparing for the big move this weekend has meant our dinners are a little . . . unusual here at the Johnson residence. We spend most after-work evenings taking carloads of stuff to the new house, where we scrub and sand and shuffle before eventually pouring ourselves … Continue reading Slow cooker steak and veggie soup

September 30, 2019September 29, 2019 / Meg / 6 Comments

When autumn comes, it doesn’t ask. It just walks in where it left you last. You never know when it starts until there’s fog inside the glass around your summer heart. “Something’s Missing,” John Mayer What reminds you of fall?

Here comes Hadley Rose

March 21, 2017 / Meg / 37 Comments

Spencer and I met seven years ago today. As I type, our infant daughter — our sweet second child — is snoozing next to me, her tiny hands clasped beneath her chin. Hadley Rose arrived on March 10 — 17 days before her due date. At nearly 38 weeks pregnant, I wasn’t technically full-term, but you … Continue reading Here comes Hadley Rose
