Don’t worry, I heard your demands. How on earth have I managed to stay away since February?! It is nice to feel missed though. What has kept me so absent from the blog world? Oh, you know, just finishing up the end of the school year, prepping for a new school year, helping other people [...]

Last Friday, after only my second week back, I was out of school early and could not wait to cuddle up on the couch with a cozy blanket and finish off the rest of my delicious Christmas wine. During Thanksgiving break my Aunt Cassie decided to share some delicious wines with all of us. [...]

- Christmas Candy– also posted in Food, Photos, Recipes
What says Christmas more than overly clear sinuses, cut up fingers, and lingering fruity and spicy smell that are still apparent 2 weeks after the fact? Nothing! As much of a pain as it was at times, it was completely worth it to carry on my grandmother’s tradition of making the Christmas candy. Along with [...]

Ever since the roommate’s mom showed us the real magic of the farm cookbook, I have reached the point in my life where I don’t know if I can ever eat regular pancakes again.

I love the whole instant gratification thing and I have never been known for my willingness to wait for something to happen, but sometimes I will order whatever it is online just so I can feel the gratification of getting something in the mail.

- Summer Salsa– also posted in Food, Photos, Recipes
To tell the truth, when my parents told me that they had made a wonderfully delicious salsa made with strawberries and mangos, I was a little hesitant. There was no reason for the hesitation. We learned very quickly that strawberry mango salsa was an absolutely wonderful idea! My parents originally put the salsa over salmon, [...]

I know I’ve got a good one, I would even go as far to say that I have the best one. Yes, my mom is the best, but I know that there are a lot of other great moms out there to. Lots of moms who love their kids and get so much love in [...]

It’s been a year, and I’ve finally gotten my grandmother’s recipe boxes in order. I loved sorting through all of the recipes and reading all of the side notes written in that oh so neat and curly grandmother writing. The funniest part of the sorting was that there was no “pasta” category for noodles, lasagnas, [...]
