Before 2019 actually started, my husband and I sat down and tried to come up with New Year’s Resolutions that we wanted to start. But when I really thought about it, I didn’t actually want to “start” anything new. Honestly, I just want to do more of what brings me tranquility. A lot of that …
Confession time, I’m a Hufflepuff. My family took the quiz on Pottermore to find our Hogwarts houses. I was very surprised to find I was a Hufflepuff. Each one of us ended up in a different house. We did this because we took a trip down to Universal Studios specifically for HOGWARTS. And let me …
Please let me begin by saying I am not usually trusted with glasses made of glass. I break them all the time. The cups I normally used are tupperware so they’re sturdy and not a big deal if you knock them over, which I do often, because they come with lids. The downside is that …
Did I mention I love donuts? We had a breakfast thing and I wanted to try something a little healthier while also still being tasty. I googled “healthy donuts” and found a whole huge list of items at: https://www.abbeyskitchen.com/30-healthy-donut-recipes-for-national-donut-day/ I did not want to buy really specific items for a recipe I might not like …
One of the first times we went to visit my husbands family we went to a Friday Fish Fry that had potato pancakes as a side. After that one meal I was hooked. Potato pancakes are the best! It has since become a tradition that any time we visit, we go to a Friday Fish …
I not so jokingly tell people that my dog is the love of my life. I got him when I lived by myself before my husband and I were even a thing. He would go anywhere/everywhere with me to the point where he has some mild anxiety if we’re apart. My bad. I quickly showered …
Any time I’d go into a craft store I’d see a “no sew blanket” kit which would always tempt me. I’d never made a blanket before and if it required no sewing then it seemed like a good place to start. Always tempted but I never actually took the step to make one. One year …
Over the summer I went through this kick of wanting corn with every meal. It’s only slightly died down in the subsequent seasons. My favorite was Mexican Street Corn. So when I came across this soup recipe in Winter I just had to try it. It was simple enough and didn’t require much work at …
I desperately despise running. I don’t enjoy it at all. Partially because I’m not very good at it. Sure, I know the old adage that practice makes perfect and eventually I could become better or faster, but that’s not right now. I typically tend to steer clear of things that I’m not good at. When …
One of the coolest presents I got this year for Christmas was a donut pan from Pampered Chef. I love everything about it. The color is vibrant, fun, and, as an added plus, it matches the other stuff in my kitchen. I love donuts; they’re my reward for anything and everything. I knew that I …
