You might remember that I made Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes using I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® They were every bit as good as any…

I thought summers were supposed to be laid back and lazy. So far these first 3 weeks have been anything but! Working from home and having an 8 year old at home make it stressful. He wants to play and have fun; I mean he is 8 you can’t blame him for that! But, I…
Breyers Toppings Review
This is a sponsored post for Breyers. It is hot out, so to me that means ice cream and frozen treats! I am not a huge fan of just a plain bowl of ice cream, I love mine loaded up with toppings. That is, unless the ice cream itself is filled with extra yummy goodness…

Summer break is officially here. My son finished his last day of school last Friday. Since then we have been busy. We have gone to the neighborhood pool a couple of times, spent the weekend with friends, and his baseball season is in full swing. Watching 2nd graders pitch in baseball, is pretty darn entertaining! …

I am a little late in getting this up, but here it is! As many of you know I went to Orlando a couple of weekends ago for the Food Blog Forum. This was my first food blogging conference, and it was such a great experience. I got to meet so many wonderful people, and…

Summer has arrived here in Colorado. We went straight from winter (snow on May 1st) to summer. This week has been in the mid 80’s. Who needs spring, anyway! This last weekend we spent 3 hours pulling weeds, tilling soil, and planting our garden. We went a little crazy this year! We have 2 kinds…

DIY Spice Rack
My spice cabinet has been a mess since we moved into this house, last July. Every time I opened the cupboard I was annoyed, and spent forever digging for what I needed. We had been talking about how to fix it and make it functional, pretty much since the day we moved in. It was…

I swear the weather can not make up its mind this year! On Monday we had 80’s, but by Wednesday it was snowing. We got enough snow that school was cancelled! It is a good thing the rest of the week is in the 50’s, so it will melt quickly, but this is just insane! …

I am tired of snow!! I know I have said it all week, but seriously 20 inches of snow in mid April is just wrong! It makes me want to go back to Japan where they had gorgeous spring weather! You can see the other write ups I wrote on Japan Thursday Things last week…

Last week on Thursday Things I started sharing about our trip to Japan. Everyone seemed to love it, so I will share more with you today! Today will be what we did outside of Tokyo, next week I will share the last portion of our trip, and then finally I will share the food! We…

We have been back from Japan for a week now, and I think we are finally back on a normal schedule and routine. It was a 9 hour time zone change, which is just hard to do! We were lucky to make it back when we did. We had to sit on the runway in…

Yesterday was my husband’s birthday. Because we just went to San Francisco, we didn’t really do much to celebrate. He did request Guacamole for a snack, and Pokey Sticks for dinner. (both very early posts, don’t mind the pictures) Before I get to what caught my eye this week, I thought I would share a…

Happy Valentine’s Day! Do you have big plans tonight? We don’t make a big deal of it here, it mainly about my 7 year old. At his school, in 2nd grade, the parents are supposed to decorate their desk. So I had a piece of poster board, cut down to the size of their desk…

My son has been home sick this week. I had big plans to get stuff done, and some recipe testing to do. But all of that has been put on hold. I hope that he will be back to school tomorrow. Poor kid has been on the couch for 2 days, with a fever and…

Have you ever been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras? I haven’t. I have been to New Orleans once in my life, and I was about 7 years old. I would love to go back any time of year, but I think Mardi Gras would be an amazing experience. Today I have a fun giveaway…

Today I want to learn more about you!! So many of you comment each day, or send me questions, but I don’t know much about you. In order to share things you want to know about, I thought this 2 minute survey would be fun! Please take 2 minutes (or less) to fill it out….

How are those resolutions coming? I am doing my best to give you healthy recipes all this month. But I have to tell you, this girl wants to bake!! My husband is thankful I haven’t been baking. We are trying to drop a couple pounds before our big trip to Japan in March.

Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? Do you have “Bucket List”? How about a “Culinary Bucket List”? I have never been one to make resolutions. If I want to make a change, I tend to do it then, not wait. I have places in my head that I want to visit sometime, but nothing written…
