Easy, healthy single-serve apple crisp

I have tried hard to clean up my diet in the past month, but one of my down falls is that I am always so hungry by late afternoon. My other problem is that I am usually cold and want to eat and drink something hot. Last week, I was going to eat an apple when I had the …

Three Kings’ Day and a recipe for quesitos (a Puerto Rican pastry)

January 6th is Three Kings’ Day. In the Hispanic culture, it is a day that celebrates the 3 kings or wise men visiting baby Jesus. We decided many years ago to celebrate this day with our kids. It is a fun way to embrace a holiday my husband grew up celebrating. On the eve of Three …

Freezer Breakfast Burritos

We love these breakfast burritos!  They are so helpful to have in the freezer for quick breakfasts. They also give my husband something quick to take along for lunch if we don’t have any leftovers. Breakfast burritos are super diverse because you can throw in pretty much whatever you like or happen to have available. I have made …

Oven-roasted tomato sauce for the freezer

We are absolutely in love with this roasted tomato sauce. It tastes like I am eating fresh, amazing tomatoes in the middle of winter. It also works so well on homemade pizza. I have thought about making sauce in the past, but the idea of canning is just too much for me at this point. …

A Haven of Chaos is where I write about the little things I am learning through my days at home and where I share the strategies I use to help build a haven amidst the chaos.
