Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

WIAW – As of Late

The First Supper
Moving Day!

Hello! I was so excited to share pictures of the new house, and I was overwhelmed by all of your kind words and well wishes! Mom and I are so excited to live here. So far it’s been nothing short of amazing!

While I haven’t taken any pictures of a full day of eats (moving is hectic!), I do have quite a few meals that I want to share. I love WIAW because it gives me an excuse to post all of my food pictures πŸ˜€

Whew! Lots of good eats lately. I’m super excited for everything to be set in the kitchen so I can get cooking!

Do you make homemade rolls/pizza/cinnamon rolls?

Favorite easy snack?

I ran out of salmon to make the salmon avocado mixture so lately it has been peanut butter and jelly with banana. Ideas please! πŸ˜€

    Fingers crossed you share the homemade pizza recipe. It looks like something straight out of a pizzeria!

      Thanks, Jessie! I would feel a little bad if I shared it – all it was is homemade dough, canned tomato sauce, and shredded mozzarella! This is the dough recipe I used πŸ™‚ http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/homemade-pizza-crust-recipe/

    Yum! I do make my own pizza from scratch. I just actually posted the recipe last week over on my blog. It is so yummy, and I can control the quality of ingredients used. My family loves it as well. My toddler will ask for “tizza” pretty frequently – breakfast, lunch and dinner…LOL!

    I hope that you are having a great week!

      Your recipe looks awesome! I love the addition of whole wheat flour πŸ™‚ I’m actually not a huge fan of plain cheese pizza – I like toppings!

    Wow girl you have been cooking up a storm! Everything there looks delicious. I remember making homemade cinnamon rolls once and they took forever but it was so worth it in the end!

    I LOVE cinnamon rolls and pizza πŸ™‚ Ah for me, that’s huge because I’m usually not a bread person but those get me every time. Also, usually the homemade tastes WAY better than store bought πŸ™‚ Have a great week!

    Seriously, if I ever come to America, I am inviting myself to hang around with you. I want to eat all this food! The homemade bread, avocado toast, salmon, gah, so delicious! Have you ever tried Vegemite? If you have access to that in America you should try it with avocado on toast. It’s the Australian way!

    Did I ACTUALLY just witness a peanut butter pie up there?! *-* Lovestruck.
    P,S, those over night oats are hands down the prettiest + most well composed picture of yummy oatmeal that I have ever seen in my life…So much atmosphere to the pic!
