The Easiest Detox Lentil Soup
If you’ve been around for a while, you’ve probably heard me talk a little bit at least about the job I had before BurntToast. It was a great job with a good company, but not a great job or even a good job for me,…

I have often said that if I were to ever open a restaurant it would be a soup ONLY restaurant. Kind of like the one on Seinfeld, with a little less yelling and a little more kindness. Otherwise nearly identical. I say this because my…
At least there was Christmas music. Sure, because Jeff was playing DJ it was Pentatonix (which if you know me, you know I hate). But still, it was Christmas music. We had that going for us. Yes, the sounds of the seasons (and my worst…
I have a confession to make. It’s pretty embarrassing, honestly, and something I wouldn’t normally share except that I’ve been thinking a lot about it lately and think it hints at something important happening with women right now. So, even though everything in me is…
It all started with a sore throat… Sounds like a 2020 dystopian novel, doesn’t it? Rest assured, it’s not. There are no barren cityscapes or dust-filled horizons in this story. But there is sickness. There is fear. There is confusion. Because this is 2020…

The other night I proudly served dinner to my family. I had put some time and effort into this meal. We had the afternoon free and I took time and care making this for them, because, after all, cooking for me is how I…
A few weeks ago I completely forgot about a birthday party for one of my daughters best friends. Ok. Maybe that’s a bit dramatic. I completely forgot about it until five minutes before it began. Which normally wouldn’t be a problem. Except that this time…
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.
He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair.
Isaiah 61:3
