Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I will admit that I kind of turned my nose up to the Hello Fresh's of the world, I cook all the time, I don't need anybody sending me deconstructed meals to prepare when I can buy it locally from the store, right? But then I read about Sun Basket, a California based company... Continue Reading →
We were just in North Carolina, dropping our youngest off at college and had to shop at the local Farmers Market for some fresh fruit and veggies for our girl before we left. We ended up driving peaches and blackberries as big as your head halfway across the country because they were too incredible to... Continue Reading →
I'm not a big Nutella fan, but there are a couple of them in my house, so I decided to give this a try after seeing it at yourhomebasedmom.com.

Hamburger buns - two packs of them - have been languishing in our pantry for quite a while now, with no plan to grill burgers anytime soon, and my family complains when I freeze them because they just can't come back. So I threw them away. And then I rescued them. And made homemade croutons.... Continue Reading →
I found this recipe on Vodka&Biscuits.com and my family loves it so much we have had it several times in the last couple of weeks. It's very flexible, I add more veggies than the recipe calls for, but it works! Baked Breakfast Greens 1/4 c diced onion 4 oz mushrooms (my addition) 2 garlic cloves, minced... Continue Reading →
Shauna Niequist is an author who I follow, and she has amazing recipes along with powerful insight. This past week she posted a picture of this soup (which I am using) without sharing the recipe and I couldn't get it out of my head, so I found one on New Your Times recipe site by Mark Bittman....
