So. I have been sticking to my menu-planning and I have been trying to keep our week from becoming monotonous. I have been trying out a new recipe here and there and we have also enjoyed some of our old… Continue Reading
[spotify track=”spotify:track:4Ki2zXoAdjI74zPeJvUTHS”] Happy Valentine’s Day! I have had a lifelong love/hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. On one hand, I realize that it is a holiday totally marketed to our over-spending culture to spend some more money and… do we as a… Continue Reading

Last week I posted a wonderful lasagna recipe that I described as clean. And then we had a few questions that I answered in the comments. And then my mother and I were talking about it- she and my aunt… Continue Reading
The word “hummingbird” takes me immediately to my grandmother’s kitchen in the summertime. I spent a lot of time with my Georgia grandparents growing up. And I love the memory I have of stirring the sugar and water together in a pot over the… Continue Reading
I’m in this weird place right now where things are coming together. Projects that have languished (some for years) are being completed. Lots of things are getting checked off my to-do list, and wheels are in motion on a lot… Continue Reading

I would like to offer my apology to (apparently) everyone in the Northern Hemisphere who isn’t in Southern California. I’m so sincerely sorry. Between Polar Vortexes and Winter Storm Leon, things are looking pretty chilly for most of the people in… Continue Reading
