I get a lot of my ideas from other people’s recipes. At this point, especially with Pinterest, it’s probably really hard to be 100% original. Even when I think I have an original recipe, then I will find something similar online. So this pinwheel recipe I took from Tasty Kitchen. While I love her blog […]
This recipe is really easy for a French one. I took it from a blog called Katie at the Kitchen Door. It’s not stuffy or complicated. It just takes time, most of which don’t even involve you. The beef needs to be marinated for a minimum of 12 hours. I marinated it for 26. The […]
My sweet fur baby had a rough week. Two surgeries and multiple trips to the vet to treat a dog bite. Wowza, who knew one dog bite could cause so much damage?! She’s been in a lot of pain but through it all she’s still the sweetest girl. Once it’s healed she’ll have an […]
Sweet potatoes are my go to carbohydrate for dinners. Just like broccoli is my go to favorite green. Marc is a pretty picky eater when it comes to veggies, but he loves my sweet potatoes and my broccoli, and since he and I are both creatures of habit, I serve them up on a regular. […]

Cold fall weather and hot comforting soups go hand in hand like ice cream and summer. What’s better than coming in from the cold to fill your belly with a bowl of warm, delicious soup? And what’s better than being able to reduce, reuse, recycle something you have already purchased for another great use? So how […]
Pooka caught my maxi dress on the top step of the stairs and wouldn’t let me go… It wasn’t at all coincidence. She knew what she was doing. Aren’t dogs so smart?
Exactly six years ago today I bought my first (and only) home. I promptly spent the next week sanding and painting every room in the house (and many, many, MANY other projects). And loving every minute of it. Happy 6 year anniversary to me and my house!
Part 3 of 4 Ok, I know it’s been a while (a loooong while) since I came back from Africa but I’m still not done telling stories about it. It was such an amazing trip I will never be able to stop talking about it. And thankfully I have notes and several hundred pictures and […]
