We’re done the two week cleanse! One of my favorite things about cleansing is that it resets my eating habits and redefines what’s important to me. In the span of the last two weeks, I’ve eaten more vegetables daily than I used to consume in a week, drank a whole bunch more water, and developed…
I had a history of choosing the same Halloween costume year after year when I was a kid. Did you, too? I was a princess, then a queen, Cinderella… well, you get the idea. Royalty was kind of my thing. My sister on the other hand liked to be scary characters a witch, goblin, ghost,…
Growing up in a small town had it’s benefits. #1 – We knew everyone. #2 – When it came time for Halloween and we received homemade treats while trick-or-treating, we were allowed to eat them. I remember the first Halloween we spent in the big city. Mom and Dad decided to move us ON Halloween…

Hi everyone, how was your Christmas? Ours was over in a flash! We got home from Dominican at noon on Christmas day. Both of us managed to stay awake until 7pm (minus a couple of unplanned naps throughout the day) before we fell asleep on the living room couch for over 14 hours. We didn’t…
I wish I would have come up with this recipe sooner. Like 3 years sooner. If you like coconut, you’re going to LOVE this bark. If you don’t like coconut, I suggest you make a batch of chai spice roasted almonds and forget this post ever existed. Sure, you could make these for people as…
I spent the weekend singing along to Christmas music as I flitted around my kitchen creating Christmas treats for…. myself. Ya, I dance in my kitchen and I’m proud of it. I’d like to think that it sufficiently revved up my appetite for a nice full cup of homemade eggnog… or two. But who’s counting,…
My love for mashed potatoes goes deep. The day I moved out of my parents house at the tender age of 17, I was very happy to learn that potatoes were about the only thing I could afford. That and egg noodles, tomato juice and licorice from Walmart. Let’s just say there was a 3…
It’s rare that I come across a recipe that I want to make SO badly that I literally run down to the kitchen to prepare it on the spot. The last time it happened was when I’d found Averie’s Blueberry Banana Oat Cakes. Just a couple of substitutions and it quickly morphed into what is…
What a Thanksgiving dinner we had last night! The pumpkins were a plenty, the conversation was deep, and the UNO cards were flying! Not only that, but we made great progress on my office. More on that tomorrow. I headed to Superstore late Sunday night to pick up some last minute items – mushrooms, a…
