In the very first week of 2023, I asked my followers on Facebook what types of recipes they would like to see more of this year. An overwhelming number asked for gluten recipes.

In this great vegetarian casserole, you get both of those requests in one dish, plus a flavorful recipe that your family will love....

There were no actual daggers in the house, so I settled for shooting them through my eyes, but I don’t know if he felt it. I made sure to make a HUGE racket later on when I did the dishes, made dinner, started laundry, and scrubbed the carpet of a sticky mess made by The Threenager. And there was no official assignment for when I found him in the yard with a rubber mallet raised high over his head, smashing my favorite mug....

Eric sent me this picture today from work: Eric has this habit of putting things up on our walls with reckless abandon. Here’s the Star Wars poster that he randomly tacked up on the wall one day: (Can’t we have NORMAL Star Wars posters? Like, with Han and Leia? At least Harrison Ford is easy on the eyes. No, I have to have Prince Xizor. (Seriously. That’s his name. Eric would know....

Making Ahead This recipe can be made 24 hours in advance. Instead of putting it in the oven in step eight, top it with cheese and cover it with aluminum foil. Then place it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Pull it out when you are ready to eat and bake it in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, uncovered, for 30 minutes. I have to agree with her....

The other day I reached into my fridge and pulled out a brand new gallon of milk, only to open it and find out that it had gone sour. The whooooooole gallon. We are milk people. (Charlotte is obsessed, but that’s understandable, she’s 2.) I always buy 2 gallons of milk when I am at the store. Always. No reason to check if we need it, because we always do....

Guys, we are MOVING. AHH! To a house only 20 minutes away. But still. All the feels. And all the chores, holy smokes. I’ve never sold a house before, and let me just say, this is like a whole new level of adulting over here. Packing up an entire house is no joke. I had NO IDEA we had so much crap. Like, I think our stuff mated and multiplied in our closets when we weren’t looking over the past 7 years....

I never realized how much I rely on lip reading!...

So now that you’re feeling a lot better about yourself after reading about our underwear situation (you’re welcome for the self esteem boost, by the way. I’m sure you’re thinking, man, I thought I had problems. This woman is a disaster.) Anyway. Let’s talk Strawberry Shortcake. And here we are. FIVE YEARS LATER. Now, he is small for an 8-year-old for sure, but still. Five YEARS?? Should anyone wear the same underwear for 5 years in a row?...
