Remember these fabulous, squishy little things we ‘grew’ a while back? Well, we felt we could knock it up a notch by putting food coloring to good use {rather than, you know, adding neurotoxins to our food) and adding a pop of color to these little gems. Instead of soaking the water beads {I got […]

2013 : The Lost Art of Sacrifice
I realize this renders me a freak of nature, but I really like Mondays. Less freakish is my adoration of the new year. You see, I love new beginnings. I live for fresh starts. Do-overs rock my socks off. And my muffin-top, if done correctly. My hubby thinks I am a dork {albeit a “cute” […]

Our tree is finally up, and let me just tell you, frasier fir is the way to go! It was suggested to us last year after we made the mistake of acquiring the “smells distinctly like cat pee” tree. This one actually smells sweet and piney, as a Christmas tree should, and the fact that […]
Happy {Homemade} Christmas
It occurred to me last month, as Christmas crept sneakily toward us, that my desire to actually attempt some of the smashing homespun gift ideas I’d been pinning with passion, combined with my astounding ability to procrastinate, were a match made in hades. And then I promptly forgot that profound thought and continued on my […]
Butternut Squash & Mushroom Lasagna
You should know, I’ve never actually made “normal” lasagna. I’ve plopped the stuff into a muffin pan for ‘Cupcake Lasagna’, and now have smooshed butternut squash puree and shrooms between layers of pasta…but the meat & ‘mater based kind, I have yet to try.
