Did I mention that we got a foot and a half of snow on Mother's Day?!?! And I am all about picnics and the backyard barbeque spread: burgers, potato salad, watermelon, corn on the cob, baked beans, and chips!! ...

Girls' Night In Essentials + {Raspberry Lime Margaritas}

Those of you who know me personally, know that I am not much for getting dolled up for a night around the town. UGH. Even in my 20s, so not my thing!!

Maybe because I like showing off my fabulous kitchen creations to someone other than Dear Hubby, lol?!  ... Read more » about Girls' Night In Essentials + {Raspberry Lime Margaritas}

You may not know, but 3 days a week I work a "real" job. I'm the Controller at a fabulous school and it's number-crunching-galore on those days. And then there's the other 2 days a week, where I either:

  • run a thousand errands
  • get to make fabulous eats to share with you!
I've found it to be a great balance for me. And really, who can complain ... Read more » about Easy, Flavorful, Perfect-for-Summer: Peach Guacamole

Yay Water + {Brownie Batter Zucchini Muffins}

I already declared my love for Silk almondmilk in this post, but now I have even one more reason to love it! I recently learned that switching to Silk once a week (instead of regular cow milk) will save over 26,000 gallons of water in a year!! Say what?!?!? I had no idea. Here's the deal. It's easier and takes less water to produce a gallon of almondmilk than to feed/nurture the cow and associated pasture and barn ... Read more » about Yay Water + {Brownie Batter Zucchini Muffins}
