There is this road in our town that I happen to frequent roughly twenty times a day. Not by choice. It’s a main drag, one that my neighborhood happens to be situated directly next to. For whatever reason, be it urban planning, proximity or just…
If I had to describe my personal style it would be “lazy chic.” Or, if I’m being more precise, just lazy. I have a uniform and I like to stick with it because, well, I’m lazy. I am a grey t-shirt and jeans girl. My…
I’m going to preface this post by saying this is not the story I intended to share. I had a whole other post which may or may not see the light of day prepared. But then the world went topsy turvy and nothing light and…

Our family just wrapped up what is sure to go in the record books as the most chaotic week of 2017. We did not stop running, driving, playing and working to come up for air at all. Between Halloween, baseball playoffs for two boys…
When I was a kid we did not have a lot of money. My parents were (and are) amazing and worked hard to provide us with everything we ever needed, but there were times when things were just a little tight for the wants of…

Welcome to BurntToast! My name is Meaghan, and this is my safe space, a place where we can share stories, share recipes and share life. It’s my dream that you can come here, kick your shoes off and pour yourself a glass of wine while you read, laugh, and maybe even hop into the kitchen. This is my heart, for all of you to see. And ALL are welcome here.
