- A whole new world…and it’s chilly– also posted in Food, Recipes
Ice cream is my favorite…absolute favorite. I love it better than the roommate, who knows and accepts this fact. I probably should not have been allowed to order an ice cream maker, because this is a bad habit to feed. I ordered an ice cream attachment for my mixer (as I hang my head in [...]

- Popping power– also posted in Food, Math, Teaching
I always forget how much I love popcorn and my wonderful popcorn maker, but then I get the stir crazy out for a batch and I am very quickly reminded. The roommate tends to give me grief for my popcorn maker, since it is slightly bulky and one of the only unitaskers in our kitchen. [...]

- A New Year– also posted in Family, Uncategorized
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 Family, Food, 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 [...]

Things I have not been doing: updating my blog, spending any time in the kitchen Things I have been doing: Teaching, moving, hosting visitors, packing, unpacking, working That list really is backwards from what I would like to be doing.

- Potatoes Au Gratin– also posted in Food, Recipes
Sometimes, when life gets a little busy grocery runs don’t happen. When I don’t get to the grocery store, we are left with no protein in the house. This means it’s potatoes and salad for dinner, which I have no problem with. Many times I don’t understand why I am not a vegetarian, and then [...]

- New Pancakes– also posted in Family, Food, Recipes
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. Despite our excitement, we haven’t had time to actually try anything from the cookbook, but I had seen this recipe, and it scared [...]

- Take the good with the bad– also posted in Food, Recipes
I would like for my first update after quite a hiatus to be something amazingly delicious, but it just can’t happen. Life has been so busy that I haven’t had much time for cooking recently. Last night was pizza night, and with a quick trip to trader joe’s it all went down the tubes. I [...]

- An Agua Fresca Trend– also posted in Food, Recipes
I have had multiple recipes for agua fresca saved in my bookmarks for the longest time, and recently I finally decided to give one a try. What a good choice! This one is strawberry vanilla, but I can’t wait to explore other fruits. I made this right after we finished off the pitcher of strawberry [...]

- And Life Goes On– also posted in Family, Food, Recipes
Where did summer go?! I can’t believe we are halfway through July already! Life has been so busy, and I am ready for some relaxation time. Unfortunately , that won’t be happening anytime soon. Summer school, bridal shop, holidays, family visits, travel plans, lesson planning, beach trips, finishing multiple projects what a whirlwind! Not to [...]
