Two weeks ago Andrew needed to go to Maryland as part of his research four a couple of days. With all of my siblings in Iowa for the summer, Emily, Nathan and I headed out on yet another road trip. We make a great traveling trio. We left early Sunday morning so we could drive…

Making Whole Wheat Spinach Pasta
This weekend we made pasta making a family affair. A few weeks ago Andrew made a batch for dinner. It was our first experience with homemade pasta and we are all convinced there is no going back to the store bought option (except, of course if we don’t have time to make anything else). We…
The Park and Trader’s Point Creamery
On Saturday we grabbed a quick breakfast, pulled a hot loaf of sourdough bread out of the oven, filled up our cooler, and loaded up the car complete with bread on the cooling rack.
