It has been nice here in Michigan. The sky is blue again. The birds are in party down mode. The warm months are my favorite time of year. I am determined to make the best of it. Sometimes that means enjoying a nice, cool beverage. It’s even better when it’s easy (like Sunday morning?). That’s… Continue reading Whisky Lemonade |with recipe|

Strawberry Donuts
When I saw the cover of the April Saveur, I knew I was in trouble. On the cover were these cute, yet seductive donuts. This cover is the reason that I now subscribe to the downloadable version of the magazine. I have no business baking donuts right now. None whatsoever. Seriously, when you’re baking cupcakes all… Continue reading Strawberry Donuts
Rhubarb Soda
I read enough food magazines to know that when rhubarb is either featured or mentioned on the cover, that the season change is near. I didn’t grow up eating rhubarb; it just wasn’t something that we did. However, I do remember seeing it in the produce section of the grocery store as a child and… Continue reading Rhubarb Soda
Peanut Butter Bacon Challah |with recipe|
Sometimes something comes into your mind and just takes over it. In these moments you know that fighting is useless, that you are had. That thought owns you. This is what happened one day when I was innocently perusing instagram. I saw a picture of something described as something like peanut butter bacon challah. This time,… Continue reading Peanut Butter Bacon Challah |with recipe|
Smoothie Goal

President Biographies Project = Done.
Well, it’s done. I have read (at least) a biography of each United States president. I feel just how I felt after I crossed the finish line of the marathon I completed. Well, not exactly, reading doesn’t make you so sore you have to wonder how you’re going to step over a curb. What I… Continue reading President Biographies Project = Done.
Nothing says winter like pineapple popsicles
Alex has always loved popsicles. It was one of his early words. In fact, I don’t think that he has ever turned one down. So when I found myself in possession of a pineapple that was becoming more fragrant by the moment and a fridge full of homemade yogurt, popsicles seemed the natural solution. It’s… Continue reading Nothing says winter like pineapple popsicles
Sweet Potato Nacho Hash??
My love for nachos is unnatural. It is obscene. When I think of queso, I imagine swimming in a pool of it, slowly, the cheese caressing my every surface. However, nachos don’t really love anyone back. In the long term anyway. So, I decided to try to make something that I could have more… Continue reading Sweet Potato Nacho Hash??
PBJ Grits
I don’t know what got into me. I knew that I wanted to have grits. I love them. They may be my number one comfort food. I like to eat them when I’m sick. I like to eat them when I just don’t know what to eat. Grits feel like love in my tummy. But… Continue reading PBJ Grits
