Basil-Roasted New Potatoes Rebirth
I usually wake in the morning with a mission to get food in my belly! Well, actually, I get up with a need to get Spark in my system which is quickly followed with a need to get food in… Continue Reading

My Grandmother is an avid letter writer. One of my favorite types of letters she would construct would be to break out a legal pad and a pen and pass it around to everyone at a gathering and ask each… Continue Reading
I am so pleased to share with you a crafty guest post by Sheila Ralston. You may remember Sheila as the author of our very first guest post here on FTTDWYW. To this day, it is still our most highly… Continue Reading
I have tried before to cook homemade pita chips and failed- I did not cook them long enough I believe and they never got crisp. But, I thought I would give it one more go. This time, I did it… Continue Reading
Family Vacations. There is a reason why some of your most vivid memories are from family vacations. You are simultaneously in surroundings that are strange and new but also surrounded by people whose genetic makeup and background are identical to yours. You… Continue Reading
Bub and I really do love our house. It is certainly a work in progress and as I have mentioned before, as we mark one project off our list we add about 3 more. It is a constant work in… Continue Reading
It is a weird realization when you figure out that not all families are like yours; that the weird things your family does aren’t what all families do. Every year, on the third weekend of June, my extended family on… Continue Reading
You remember as a kid how much fun spend-the-night company was? And especially how much fun spend the night parties were? Weeeelllll, I am here to tell you they are just as much fun, if not more fun as adults!… Continue Reading
Bub has a group of friends he has been friends with since high school- there are 7 of them counting Bub. And then along the way, they picked up a couple more in college and such. So, there is a… Continue Reading
The Internet is down in Valencia and has been since noon. And what started out as an excuse to do things not attached to my computer has now turned into a thing… with a deal. When Jojo got home, he… Continue Reading
As I mentioned previously, we got zucchini in the veggie box from the CSA. Zucchini, to me, is one of those veggies that you can kinda get to fly under the radar and then what do you know, you’ve just… Continue Reading
Growing up in Georgia, I didn’t know there was such a thing as being able to live without a car. Georgia is just a car culture… as are most places, other than highly-developed urban areas. I had a car in Chicago… Continue Reading
Maybe it was evident with my Cinco de Mayo Fiesta post that I really love Mexican inspired food. This has not always been the case, but it is certainly the case now! If Bub would allow it, I’d probably have… Continue Reading
The past few years have been amazing, albeit untraditional, for me. For those of you who DON’T know, I resigned from my day job in 2010 and have been on a spiritual walkabout ever since. “How were you able to afford to… Continue Reading
At FTTDWYW, I have always maintained that we have the most interesting friends. And I love that seeking out authors for guest posts has allowed me to reconnect with old friends and bring them back into my present. Today’s guest… Continue Reading
Okay, so there is a substantial hippie part of me that keeps my consumerist side of me in check… most of the time. I absolutely think that perhaps we, as a human race, are taking for granted our planet and… Continue Reading
As I’ve mentioned before, leaving Chicago (one of the arguably coolest cities) is both sad and exciting. A lot of people have come to visit in the eight years I’ve been here and seen the majesty that is the… Continue Reading
Bub and I have really tried to do our best at embracing clean eating. I honestly think that we humans were not made to eat the processed junk that sometimes finds its way into our pantries. Bub and I and… Continue Reading
This is going to be another quick post, folks… And for that, I apologize. But, somehow, I managed to pack my laptop but not my laptop charger… where it is in the boxes that are hopefully in storage, lord only… Continue Reading
I have a hard time keeping with the cooking dinner program during the summer. It happens every year. Bub and I start giving each other pep talks in March. “This summer we are going to cook and only eat out… Continue Reading
