This past weekend, I was bebopping through Walmart because the kids were at home with Mister, so I wasn't having to say no to sugar loaded foods that have packaging to encourage this behavior in children and, I had a hot honey latte in the car waiting for my return. The simple pleasures in life, . . .
An apoctolyctic amount of nectarines!
This past Saturday, our lone nectarine tree yielded an amazing amount of fruit! I mean, an apocalyptic amount of nectarines. As in, a high probability of black and white Cold War photos of bomb shelters with nectarines lining the shelves in the background. See the photo below. This harvest . . .
. . . and pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice lip balm, pumpkin spice hot cocoa . . .
The other day while making a speedy Target run, my second one actually because Mister texted about this tea he wanted and it's only at Target, I discovered a fall treat to add to the list of pumpkin spice everything. After Little Man and I unbuckled and walked back into Target, found the correct . . .
What’s for lunch?
The other day, the Littles and I returned home after running a couple of errands. To say they were famished by the time we got home, would be accurate. Once we were all out of the car and settled in the house, Little Lady busted out some hummus, small pita bread rounds, baby carrots and sliced . . .
Comfort food when it’s over 100 degrees outside? I’m thinking not.
So, last week I bought a great looking pot roast that would feed Mister and the Littles for at least two nights. I'm a twofer kinda gal. Anyhoo, the plan was to put this bad chicken (still a roast, just a cool hunk of meat) in the crockpot with some peppers and seasoning earlier this afternoon to be . . .
Homemade Creamer
Remember when I mentioned making homemade creamer on a snow day in this post? I have been making it faithfully since then. I absolutely love it!

Peanut Butter Deliciousness

Chocolate for breakfast!
I mentioned in an earlier post how much I enjoy chocolate. Well lo and behold! There is a way to have chocolate for breakfast that is actually decent for you! I'm at a loss as to where I first saw this chocolate flavored cereal that has protein from navy beans, garbanzo beans and lentils, but I . . .
Chocolate fudge sauce with a little cha-cha!
My taste buds love chocolate. My taste buds really love dark chocolate. My taste buds also enjoy ice cream. When chocolate sauce and ice cream are paired up, it's a beautiful thing. At least for me. This past weekend, I had a get together at my house and chocolate fudge sauce was a necessity. I . . .
Lent. The time of year when I crave meat on Fridays.
This year, Lent is throwing Catholics for a loop since it began on Valentine's Day and ends with Easter on April Fool's Day. Jesus has risen! No he hasn't! Yes, He has! No he hasn't! Just wanted to see how many of you would show up for the 6:00a.m. Easter mass! April Fool's! I can just hear the . . .
