Muffins are one of my very favorite things to bake and EAT They are healthy (or at least can be), are a breakfast-y food, (which is my favorite meal of the day), and they are fun to make and hard to bomb (unlike layered cakes). Not only that, but they are easy to transport, simple … Continue reading Get Your Muffin On (Post #3 of 3)
ea3bI really don’t like to waste things. In fact, we bring take-out containers of left-over scraps home from restaurants, hoping that we can make a meal (or a late night snack for Dave) out of them.

I have purchased many tablecloths and napkins along the way and think they bring a beautiful and lived-in look to a table. I have 3 young children so currently … Continue reading A Napkin Revolution
Since the “Celebration of Daves” post, a couple of people have asked for my Fish Tacos recipe.

It’s my 15th Wedding Anniversary. It’s hard to believe that we have been married 15 years, and yet, I can’t remember life without Dave. Our relationship has been an anchor in the midst of many joys, challenges, twists and turns of life. For our anniversary I have made a Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese … Continue reading A Red Velvet Relationship
Peaches. They really are the perfect fruit in my opinion. I love fruit. We consume a large amount of fruit in our home.
