This week appears to be strawberry week. Berry Almond Salad, Strawberry Crumb Bars, and now this. It was completely unintentional, but now I feel bad I don’t have another strawberry recipe ready for Friday.

It is official, we are going to Japan for spring break!!! I am super excited. We have been talking about it for a couple weeks, and finally booked the airfare yesterday. I will admit I am more than a little nervous about the language, and not being able to read signs, and the food. If…
Today a dear friend of mine is having surgery. She is in her 30’s and found out about a month ago that she has breast cancer. She discovered a mass during a self exam, and immediately went to her doctor. After numerous tests, it has been determined that the prognosis is very good. There…
We are back with another addition of #SundaySupper. This week we were challenged with “beat the heat”. Make something that didn’t require the oven. The last couple #SundaySupper’s I have gone the savory route, so I thought it was about time I made dessert. I had some Greek yogurt that needed to get used. I…

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours went way too fast! We got to see 2 different groups of friends, and had so much fun with both of them. We went to Costco and Ikea; which always means you spend too much money. Not the best idea to go to both in…
A few weeks ago I was asked if I wanted to review a copy of the book Marshmallow Madness: Dozens of Puffalicious Recipes. The book is written by Shauna Sever who also writes over at the blog Piece of Cake. Her blog is gorgeous, so I was excited to see what the cookbook would be…
We made it to Colorado! It was so nice to know that the long drive was just one way this time. Unfortunately our stuff did not arrive as planned. The driver who was going to drive the truck out “is no longer with the company”. So now, today is the day everything should arrive. …
This summer I saw a few different Fool recipes floating around, and all of the claimed that Fool is a traditional English dessert. My Grandma was born and raised in England, my Dad was born in England, and he still has lots of family there. So I was shocked I had never heard of this…
