If I’m being entirely honest I have a real love hate relationship with cooking, meal planning, and meal prep. I love cooking and trying new recipes – but I hate having to come up with something and be creative at the end of a long and stressful day. Cue the awe inspiring meal plan! Meal…

Grammie’s Pumpkin Bread
This wonderful pumpkin bread recipe is traditional in the fall but honestly I love it so much I don’t like waiting until the fall to make it. If you’ve got roasted pumpkin in your freezer from last falls harvest, or your local market has canned pumpkin available, you can whip up this delicious crowd pleaser…
Grain Free Breakfast Muffins
Bear and Lion are back in the kitchen whipping up some delicious breakfast confections this morning. To be honest I tried out this recipe last week to make sure it worked and to make sure the baking times were correct. After making a few adjustments to the original recipe we landed on this version –…
Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal
At the beginning of the year I picked up a new cookbook ‘Instant Loss’ by Brittany Williams. We’ve been working our way through the recipes and meal plans – many of which are a big hit with my two Wee Laird’s! In particular this delicious cinnamon apple oatmeal made with steal cut oats is one…
Potato Leek Soup
I love a nice full bowl of potato leek soup on a cold day. I also happen to think it is a wonderful go to soup when feeling under the weather (because it is gentle and far less acidic than many other comfort foods like chili or spaghetti). The other things I find wonderful about…
Oven Roasted Purple Sweet Potatoes and Rainbow Carrots
In our house we love oven roasted veg. In particular we love beautifully caramelized, oven roasted root vegetables! Both Bear and Lion will eat an adult size portion of these lovely slightly sweet, slightly earthy, & delightfully seasoned beauties. So today when I asked Lion what we should make for dinner I wasn’t at all…
Cookie Cut-out’s with Bear and Lion
One of my favorite holiday memories from childhood is making rolled cut-out cookies with my mom, sisters, and grandparents. I loved getting to dig into the chilled dough with my little fingers, get my turn trying out the rolling pin, picking all my favorite shapes from the big bin of cookie cutters, and of course…
Lion’s Chana Aloo Masala (Instant Pot Recipe!)
In this house we LOVE Indian food! We love the delicious complex spice combinations and rich comforting sauces. This is why (since my husband introduced me to the amazingness that is Nepalese & Punjabi cooking), I have been working on learning to make these dishes at home. After all – while most of us love…
Butter Ball Soup
Back in the kitchen with my lovely Mother-in-Law Linda, as well as my little lion to bring you another wonderful family recipe that is perfect for Christmas! Butter ball soup – a German/Prussian dish – is like so many heritage recipes. It has primarily the same components no matter who you ask – but there…
My Mother-In-Law’s Kitchen
Repost – I love this recipe and wanted to make sure to have it here on The Wee Lairds Kitchen. I hope you all enjoy this amazing recipe – it is a wonderful choice for a Christmas Cookie swap! Since I met my amazing husband, and subsequently his fabulous mother, I have been wanting to…
