Welcome to the Virtual Vegan Potluck! I made you cookies! Lots and lots of cookies. Oatmeal Cherry Chocolate Chip cookies to be exact. If I bring a dessert to a potluck, I usually always bring cookies, especially if I know there are going to be other desserts. Why, you ask? Well, I may just be … Continue reading »
There was a time, about five or six years ago, when my weekends were far different from they are now. I would generally work during the day on Saturday. Saturday nights were for dates, going dancing, or having a wine and movie night with my best friend. Sunday mornings were spent sleeping in a bit, … Continue reading »

I’ve never had an actual Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks or some other fancy coffee house, so it might seem odd that I would make caramel macchiato truffles. I once, however, had a plain macchiato while living in Italy. It was right after I got fired for the first (and only) time in my life. At … Continue reading »
Remember when I said that I’ve abandoned oatmeal as my breakfast of choice? Well, that’s still the case. The very thought of it is turning me off. The thought of the plain, wholesome taste of Morning O’s (Cheerio’s, Whole Foods style) in a bowl of cold almond milk, however, is what makes me rush home … Continue reading »
This last Christmas, I decided to get all crafty and make edible presents for people. I bought lots of cute jars and ribbons and tags. I made this Black Forest granola and typed up the recipe in a cute little font to be printed on cute little paper to be attached to the cute little … Continue reading »
Back in the day, my friend used to host a cookie exchange party every year. Everyone would bring about 40-50 cookies and the recipe printed out on an index card. Each person would get to take 2 of each type of cookie as well as the recipe for each cookie. It was an awesome party … Continue reading »

The best part about fights is when you make up afterwards, right? To be completely honest, I don’t really have much experience with fighting/making up because Chris and I don’t really ever fight. I”m serious. We’re pretty good at talking rationally with each other and I don’t think I could ever bring myself to say … Continue reading »
When I was younger, my grandparents used to take all of us grandkids on huge camping trips every summer. These camping trips hold some of my fondest memories of my cousins. There was a large rock in the middle of the lake and we all had the goal to be able to climb up on … Continue reading »
My mom used to keep candy in her purse. She had various flavors of lifesavers- rootbeer, butterscotch, mint, and the classic rainbow of fruit. She had hard candies and soft candies. Sometimes there were bags of m&m’s, Reese’s Pieces, or Skittles. At Halloween time, you can bet there were a variety of halloween candies nestled … 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 »
Today, the twins are twelve years old. The greatest blessing in my life is that I get to watch these two amazing human beings grow and develop and become more and more amazing. Maxwell and Sophia are both so intelligent and kind-hearted and just all-around good people, and it is a pleasure just to know … Continue reading »
You may or may not be aware of the fact that there is a contest happening today. I’m not a very competitive person. In fact, I usually run away fast shy away from competition. It’s just part of my nature. This time, however, when I discovered this contest, I got pretty excited. Basically, Isa Chandra … Continue reading »
Do you ever hold onto things in your life that are not useful to you? Perhaps it is a pair of jeans that you no longer wear, but keep because at one point, they looked really great. Maybe it’s the closet, full of baseball cards you’re holding onto because they might be worth something someday. … Continue reading »
On mine and Chris’s first date, Chris and I “argued” (I’m using that term very loosely) over who had the better set of grandparents. I had never met someone who raved about their grandparents as much as I do. After about eight months of dating, I got to meet Chris’s twins, and shortly thereafter, I … Continue reading »
