I recently had the pleasure of working with the team behind the scenes at the Rachel Ray Magazine on an advertorial for Target’s Drive Up Service. It was such a fun project and it’s even more fun to see it in print! This is the September issue which is available now.
All Recipes, Aug/Sept 2018
I've been contributing to AllRecipes magazine for the past few months, working on their kids content. My first story is out in print in their latest issue—and it's perfect if you need some lunchbox packing inspiration!
Look for it on newsstands near you or here.
Kitchn: Quick Family Dinners
I have a new series of quick family recipes up on The Kitchn. These are recipes that my family loves and that we make again and again—especially when we're all busy during the day and there's not a lot of time to cook!
See the whole series here.
Nourishing Meals for Mamas for Delicious Living
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to develop 6 recipes for the May issue of Delicious Living designed for expecting and new mamas. There are recipes to enjoy throughout the day and each one is totally family-approved, but packed with nutrients that mamas need.
Check out the whole story in the digital issue here.
Avoiding "Clean Eating" Talk with Kids
I wrote a post for The Kitchn with one of my habits related to talking about food and the rush of dietary changes in the air this month. I'm all for eating better and taking positive steps to improve our health, but I do think that it's important to remember that how we talk about those changes can also have a big impact.

The Sweet Home: The Best Slippers
I worked on this guide to The Best Slippers for The Sweet Home a while back, but it seems like a perfect time to share it here—it's going to be -10 here tomorrow night! Since I work at home, I wear slippers everyday and consider myself to be a pretty good judge of their merits. Find out more about our top picks in the very extensively researched story here. (The top pick is my current absolute favorite.)
The After Bedtime Dinner Party
I recently had the chance to write about my current favorite way to entertain for the Kitchn, which I hope helps other parents spend more time with friends! Read the whole story on how to throw a One-Hour Dinner Party after the kids go to bed over on the Kitchn.
Baby Food Posts for Momtastic
I had the pleasure of writing a few posts on babies and eating for Momtastic recently—which is a topic that is at the forefront of my mind with my 4 month old! Check them out below:
7 Signs of Solid Food Readiness
When Can You Introduce Yogurt to Babies?
DIY: Wall Overhaul
In the latest issue of Do It Yourself (which has the mostly lovely cover, right?) I have a new decorating story. It was so fun to learn more about the mind behind this creative space and to hear about how she put that stunning herringbone wall together. Check out the whole issue on newsstands now!
Midwest Living: Munster Rose Workshops
In the current issue of Midwest Living, there's a lovely story about a Minneapolis florist and the workshops that they hold in their new studio. I loved getting to chat with Jackie about the event and her flower philosophy—and to see her gorgeous work.
Look for the May/June issue on newsstands (if you're in the Midwest).

The Kitchn: Feeding Your Toddler Series
I had my first posts go live on The Kitchn this week, which is one of my very favorite food sites, and I loved getting to share a few thoughts about feeding toddlers with a new audience. You can see all of the posts under my author page here, but the topics range from the one thing I've done to relax about my daughter's sugar intake, to why I don't call her picky, and stress-free tips for eating out with little ones.

BHG, January 2016: Sleep in Style
Pick up the latest copy of Better Homes and Gardens for some easy tips on making a prettier bed (and for some really yummy looking healthy recipes!). I wrote up this story a few months ago and I love everything about the mix-and-match style of that bed. And also the wall!

Check out the full slideshow on Parents.com right here.
DIY Winter 2015, Gifts Under $10
If you're in need of a few last minute gift ideas—or want some gift ideas to tuck away for the rest of the year—check out the latest issue of Do It Yourself. I loved working on this story because, let's face it, making pretty things is a really fun way to spend a day! But also, crafting works a different part of my brain than writing or recipe development does, so it's always a joy to get to be creative in that way.
These pages are just a peak at the projects included in the story so be sure to look for the issue on newsstands now!

This feature is a girls party with stylist Ruthie Lindsay and there's another front of book story on Aimee Wimbush Bourque and her pickling techniques. Check it out!
