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 [...]
For the holidays, my mom and I made plates of cookies for each member of our family. Unfortunately, we did not see them all on Christmas day and the two gift plates we had leftover mysteriously disappeared. What can I say? I come from a family of sweet tooths (teeths?). To make up for our [...]
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 [...]

Locally Grown Peaches–so juicy you HAVE to eat them over a kitchen sink. That is what the Peach Man at the Farmer’s Market told me and I’m sticking by it!To avoid looking like a goblin with peach juice running down my face at work, I usually slice my peach before packing my lunch box. This [...]
It might sound nutty. It might sound bananas. My dad and I woke up at 6:30am on a Sunday to run. We met with a group of runners for a run sponsored by Fleet Feet. Every Sunday they gather to run different mileages and paths. I like this concept. I wasn’t sure how far we [...]
