I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever made a resolution. But as 2011 was drawing a close I made a small promise to myself to get back to putting my health first. 2011 was full of ups and downs, new beginnings and endless work hours. Though I’m…

5 Ingredient Chewy Vanilla Coconut Cookies
There’s nothing like waking up in a foreign country and knowing that there’s a little something hidden away in your hotel room that will make the world of difference to your stay. I’m not talking about extra sunblock, a fancy sundress, or the tens of tiny bottles of rum from the mini bar. I’m talkin’…
Crock-Pot Apple Crumble Breakfast Pudding
