I have a love/hate relationship with food. I love to make it but hate to eat it. Well that’s not exactly true; I love to eat things that my stomach hates. I hate eating things that my stomach loves. I also dont like cooking for just me so when I’m left to fend for myself […]
Happy Memorial Day, America. The older I get, the more I appreciate our country and those who have sacrificed everything for us. Thank you. This is one of my favorite holidays. I love the patriotism and am humbled that our entire nation takes a day off to say “thanks”. I also love that it’s the […]
Today I bought a 25-lb bag of flour. This might just be the best day of my life. You’d think that since it’s just the two of us, we wouldn’t need to shop wholesale at Sam’s Club. Au contraire, mon ami. We do, in fact, need 157 rolls of toilet paper, 6 tubes of toothpaste, […]
love story, part one This weekend is a special one for me. Beyond the gratitude for those who have fought to keep our country safe and the backyard BBQs and the extra day to sleep in, two years ago this weekend, Husband asked me to marry him. Even if it’s a little unconventional, our love […]
I wanted to hold off on this post for a few days so that I don’t overwhelm your inboxes and your minds with deliciousness but I couldn’t resist. It has been a while since a gluten-free goodie made its appearance and I have a lot of craziness starting today so my schedule will be effectively […]
We were watching a movie tonight and I needed more snacks. I happened to glance out the window on the way to the kitchen tonight and what did I see? A little ducky head with little ducky eyes peering back. Scared the marshmallows right out of me. The ducks aren’t tall enough to see in […]
Good morning! I wanted to think of something especially fantastic to tell you about my week or at least a funny anecdote about these pear muffins. I got nothing. It’s been a slow week. But these muffins are great. I promise. I had some pears left over from the apple pear crisp that didn’t happen […]
Alternatively titled, “the post that never ends.” It is ridiculously long. I apologize. Taking a cue from my beautiful mother-in-law, I expanded my hostessing skills to an actual dinner party. Putting together an actual event was a new one for me. My idea of hostessing is usually putting on my cleanest pair of sweatpants, shoving […]
In order to keep ourselves entertained at work, we talk about the weekend. Monday and Tuesday are for talking about the previous one and Wednesday begins the lets-make-plans-for-doing-stuff conversations. This is usually over e-mail, which only adds to the awkwardness because outsiders can’t hear the conversation, just random laughter. Now that I think about it, […]
Remember how I promised to give you the recipe for my cinnamon toffee scones? Ya, it’s been a while, but I’m finally getting around to it. I’m currently somewhere over Arizona and let me tell you, plane rides are great for getting stuff done. I can’t go anywhere, or be distracted by ducks or laundry […]
