One of the things I love about Chris (there are lots. I’m sure I’ve shared with you some and I’m sure I’m going to share more), is that he has just as much of a sweet tooth as I do. He loves a good piece of high quality dark chocolate and he will never turn … Continue reading »
Do you ever look back at different times in your past and think “That seems like another lifetime ago?” It happens to me all the time. It sometimes feels like I’ve lived at least seven other lives. There was this one life when I lived in an apartment complex (the kind that’s spread out over … Continue reading »
So, apparently there is a “blog rally” going on. A rally which requires the blogger who is handed the baton, to write about hope. My wonderful friend, Cara, handed me the baton on Friday. I had something completely different written for this post, but deleted it all in the name of “hope.” The word “hope” … Continue reading »

Chris loves carrot cake. He also loves a big bowl of clustery granola cereal in the morning. It was only a matter of time before I put the two together. Fresh, organic, flavor-packed carrots from our CSA really put this carrot cake granola over the edge. From the look of it, it looks like just … Continue reading »
My body craves sweet things sometimes. It just does. I refuse to deny it sweet things when that’s what it wants because the craving will build and build until I end up robbing a candy store completely over-doing it. Chris and I try to prevent this from happening by having a small dessert after dinner … Continue reading »
When I was a little kid, I would eat anything. I was a parent’s dream- any vegetable they wanted me to try, I was totally game. Whatever my dad cooked, I ate. The only thing I remember ever not wanting to try were beets, but my parent’s tricked me, saying “Oh well, more for us. … Continue reading »
I am not good with frosting or icing. There are two reasons for this: I am a perfectionist and I am not skilled enough yet to apply frosting in a perfectly even way. I have a habit of eating too much from the bowl and the spoon and making myself sick. With daffodils in a … Continue reading »
