Happy Saturday! This is most people’s favorite day of the week – it’s solidly the weekend, no work tomorrow, and late Friday’s are okay! It’s my favorite because I get to see both my son and husband all day. Our son is two and he’s started to say that on the […]
Happy Spring! It may not be anywhere near Fall, but I can always go from Pumpkin Pie. And while I would absolutely eat Pumpkin Pie for breakfast, this smoothie is definitely a healthy, quicker version – and a perfect start to the week! And not only is it delicious on […]
Happy Spring! Yesterday was officially the first day of spring, and even though it’s still a bit rainy here today, I’m hoping the weather stays mild for a while! This past weekend it was in the 80s, and I’m just not ready for that yet. Whenever I think of Spring, […]

Certain smells and flavors immediately bring back memories, especially smells. You can be in one place, smell something familiar, and be transformed back in time. For me, molasses is one of those smells. Growing up, my dad and I would enjoy soft molasses cookies, store bought, but it was always […]
Some spices are meant for cold weather – cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger – and they are usually associated with the holiday season for this reason.
