Oh, hi there! How’s it been? How’s 2017 treating you? Springtime is really showing off here lately. I’ve been planting herbs and veggies and have been meaning to get to the flowers but just haven’t yet. I’m hoping to plant zinnias and lots and lots of wildflowers to help with the whole bee population thing.… Read More Life Lately
. . . and a warning that I’m awkward at sharing big news. The garden is just glorious. Glorious, I tell you! I still can’t believe things are growing out of the earth (you know, like they have for millions of years). Recent harvest. (Yes, it’s about half a serving.) I’m thinking about entering our… Read More Life Lately
I made Ina Garten’s Savory Palmiers for a couple of holiday events. They were so easy and a huge hit. Baked dog treats. We hosted Christmas Day. I know. My in–laws are far more willing to hand over the holiday–hosting reins than my own parents. It meant a lot of fun domestic activities. My husband was… Read More Life Lately: End of 2015

I moved a frozen pizza out of the way to take this picture (lest you think I’m one of those people who actually has it all together). We… Read More Life Lately
Could the world be any more excited about scarf weather? I think not. I’m certainly guilty. Last week, I made this beef stew and—wow—it did not disappoint. Misty, you are in charge of my meal plans from now on. Hope that’s okay. ; ) I’ve been wanting to bake this bread for what feels like forever.… Read More Life Lately
Seriously? Am I that person who gets home from an absolutely wonderful vacation and has the audacity to complain about jet lag, a condition that means she’s fortunate enough to travel and from which she has well over a week to recover before returning to work, unlike her husband who had a mere two days… Read More Life Lately: Fighting Jet Lag Edition
Just in case you were wondering what nonstop excitement looks like… Been snacking on this. Been reading this.
