TikTok Cooking Inspiration: Chocolate Krinkle Cookies
I don’t understand TikTok. It entered my life a couple of years ago through my niece and daughter setting up their phones in random spots (in the kitchen, in the target aisle, in the park) to video record dance sequences and lip sync. They would do said dance moves while at the dinner table, while … Continue reading TikTok Cooking Inspiration: Chocolate Krinkle Cookies

Miscellany: Lovely Eggs, Mindful Magazine, Gift Wrap and Fizzy Water
Since my days are pretty full-to-the-brim with work and family and real life, and since my blog is just a little hobby and I'm not a professional cook, photographer or blogger, and since I don't have a staff, I sometimes have a backlog of things I want to post, but don’t have the capacity to pull together. … Continue reading Miscellany: Lovely Eggs, Mindful Magazine, Gift Wrap and Fizzy Water

This is the time of year where gardens are at that point... dwindling or overflowing, and gardeners are trying to discern what to do with … Continue reading Everyday, Everything Herb Salt
Sun Tea and Muesli
In my ideal world, I would prep for the week by making up batches of food to last several days: Cut fruits and raw veggies, make salads (cucumber, kale, chicken, etc.), bake bread, cook a pot of black beans, brew a gallon of tea, bake some granola or prep some muesli, stir up some muffin … Continue reading Sun Tea and Muesli

Grilling Tips with Grill Master Rich
Summertime and grilling go hand in hand. I love grilled food and find it so helpful as the cook, to be able to delegate parts of the meal to another person at an outdoor kitchen (instead of trying to share another burner or countertop). I also think it can be a great bringer-together of people, when grilling … Continue reading Grilling Tips with Grill Master Rich
Nothing Says Summertime Like Key Lime Pie (a recipe worth Re-Posting)
This is a re-post from 5 years ago. It's a perennial favorite. It is summertime deliciousness! I believe that little things can make a big difference. It might only take a few more minutes, or a couple more dollars (or not any more $$ at all) – just a little time, creativity and intentionality, and … Continue reading Nothing Says Summertime Like Key Lime Pie (a recipe worth Re-Posting)
