  • Peach and Cherry Tarts

    It’s time to Celebrate! Summer is a time of celebrations. There’s Independence Day (and Canada Day for my Canadian friends), Labor Day, and many birthdays of friends and family – including MINE (yes, I still get excited about my birthday, don’t you?). Summer is a great time to party it up! As much as I…

  • Sunday Reflections – June 23, 2013

    There are a lot of the fun versions of the original “Keep Calm and Carry On,” many of which made it to my Things for My Wall board on Pinterest. Some of them just crack me up. These are some of my favorites. They’re really not in any kind of order, so just scroll through…

  • Whipped Feta

    I’m always on the lookout for delicious and healthy food. Yes, I want to lose weight (as does the handsome husband), but more importantly, we want to eat real and healthy food as much as possible. Diets that cut out whole food groups never sounded healthy, balanced or sustainable. The minute you eat a carb…

  • Crock Pot Spicy Buffalo Ranch Chicken

    Does anyone else have a busy life? Dumbest. Question. Ever. Trying to balance all of life’s aspects requires about 32 hours a day, but we only get 24. That’s why I LOVE crock pot cooking. It’s a HUGE time saver! Simply dump (or carefully layer) the ingredients into the magical appliance, turn it on, and walk away. Hours…

  • Bite-Sized Apple Pies

    Summer is almost here. Depending on where you live, school is either already finished or nearly so. That means it’s time for summer vacations, and in my world that means lots and lots of snacks and foods in miniature sizes – perfect for taking to the park, to the beach, on a road trip, on…

  • Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwich with Honey Roasted Grapes and Walnuts

    This year I found out there is a National Grilled Cheese day, and there were a lot of amazing sounding grilled cheese recipes that flooded Pinterest; Grilled Mozzarella with Tomato Basil Soup, French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese, or Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese. But the one that had me running to the store was this Grilled Goat…

  • Pink Summertime Sangria

    Mmmm, Sangria! A fruity party in a pitcher. May is a month of celebrations; Star Wars Day (May the fourth be with you), Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day. Cinco de Mayo is a favorite of the foodie in me. I asked my handsome husband what foods would he like to celebrate the…

  • Sunday Reflections – April 28, 2013

    Happy Weekend! I hope yours has been a time to recharge your batteries. This Sunday Reflections has a theme – Pies! This weekend was the Great American Pie Festival in Celebration, Florida. I have not entered any of the competitions (yet), but I’m an experienced sampler. All the pies you can eat at $10 for…

  • The Amazing Amish Cinnamon Bread Alternative

    As I’m writing this post, I’m memory-listening to a little boy singing his favorite song from his favorite movie. Memory-listening, for those who don’t know, is a lot like when you get a song stuck in your head (now referred to as an earworm), but it’s a song you’ve heard in the past. In this…

  • Sunday Reflections – April 7, 2013

    Happy Weekend! I thought it would be nice to do another “Sunday Reflections” post. Here are some of the funny, thought provoking, and inspiring posts I’ve seen that I thought were worth sharing. I hope your weekend had moments of laughter, quiet, joy, peace, awe, love and blessings. Enjoy and have a great week!  …
