I tell you, it’s just been one of those days. Please tell me you all have Mondays like this. Thought I was off to a good start this morning. Woke up feeling refreshed. Had my lunch all packed and ready to go. I felt like I was on a roll. Normally, I start work at …

With the holidays quickly approaching, I’ve got one thing on my mind. Wait…no, I have a million things on my mind. But, one of them just happens to be all the holiday baking. Cookies, truffles, cakes, breads, you name it, I want it in my belly! I’m generally not much of a sweets …
Winter has got me feeling all sorts of feels. I guess it’s not quite winter by definition, but December is winter in my book. Ugghhhhh I hate to say it. Winter…it’s like a nasty little swear! I seriously need food that warms the soul. But not just something you can throw in the …
Welcome back to the blog you guys! I’m back in action today. Yesterday, I had to cut my recipe testing, photo taking, blogging escapade short. My afternoon was spent in the dentist office after I chipped a tooth. While I never have fun at the dentist, it was kind of blessing in disguise. I’ve …
