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 …
Thanksgiving week is coming to a close. I’m not quite sure if I’m happy to see it go. It makes me a little sad to see all the tasty food and treats go. Speaking of which, I’d love to hear, what fun things did you do over the holiday? Did anyone have a killer friendsgiving …
I was listening to the radio earlier today and the host of the show was talking about turkey. Actually, her complete disgust for Thanksgiving turkey.

Ahh fall is here. While I’ve mostly been obsessing over pumpkin spice everything and all my fave fall produce. What I’ve failed to remember is what else the fall season brings…cold season. You heard that right, it’s cold season. Like all things fall, I couldn’t stay away. Cold season is in full swing over here, …
Easy Vegetarian Lentil Tacos Tacos have long been a household staple around here. My hubby and I routinely ate all types of tacos way before they became a trend. I mean, I loved tacos long before they were screen printed on t-shirts in those “trendy” teen shops. For me, I prefer tacos in my belly …
