I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s the simple things in life that make me happy. Last night I put together a small first course salad. I couldn’t believe how well it came together–defiantly something to write home about. In fact, I couldn’t stop thinking about the flavors this afternoon, and felt [...]
Peace, Love and Granola.I’m a granola lover. I love it to top off a smoothie, mix into yogurt, garnish my oatmeal and plain by the handful. Over the weekend I decided that it was time to make more granola. I’ve been playing with a few recipes here and there over the past few months, and [...]
In all fairness, I am a big fan of the weekend in general, however; Sunday has a special place in my heart. Growing up Sunday was a time for family. We slept in, went to church and spent the day relaxing together over a luscious brunch prepared by my dad and hearty early dinner. Living [...]

So besides massive amounts of cookie baking, I have been busy trying to get myself together so I can relax at home with my loved ones. Last night I made an easy dinner, incorporating as much [...]
I often wake up thinking, “I wish I could stay in my pajamas all day and bake.” If I didn’t have a guilt complex, I would probably play hooky JUST to bake all day long. The weekends are the perfect excuse to accomplish these goals. Yesterday I ate good food and drank wine all day [...]
I am thankful for oats in a jar and loose leaf tea.1/2 cup instant oats cooked stove top with 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 3/4 cup water, 1/2 banana, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves. With the remainders of a Crunch Time Jar, topped with leftover apple-orange cranberry sauce, almonds and honey. The perfect way to start [...]
“It must be Monday. What a dumb day.”-Shania Twain I’m not trying to be “Negative Nora” but Monday can be difficult! The weekend fun is over, and it’s back to the grind. Luckily, a crazy Monday can always be remedied with satisfying food and a glass of wine. Or maybe it was two glasses of wine .Chicken [...]
