I finally bought myself a couple new cutting boards, and it’s life changing. My sister and I were discussing how many things we consider life changing the other day, and I must admit, for me, the number is not small. There are just so many little things that make life simpler, more relaxed, cleaner, quieter, […]
Red Pepper Jelly, Version 2
Sometimes you think you have it all figured out. You have a tried-and-true recipe you make time and time again, and it always works, so why try something new? Well, when a friend with ulterior motives offers to bring red pepper jelly to the bus stop for you, you don’t say no. And when that […]
Roasted Red Pepper & Feta Dip
I don’t have enough appies in my life. This must mean I don’t have enough parties in my life, because parties are half about company and three-quarters about appies. Appy math. It’s official stuff. In the interest of having more appies in my regular non-partying schedule, I need some easy recipes up my sleeve that don’t […]

And I don’t think the handwritten signs at grocery stores […]
Oven Hot Pizza Dip
Sometimes you just need a good quick, hot, dip. Before you get any wrong ideas, that picture should clear things up. Hot Pizza Dip, hooray! Chelsea’s away gallivanting in the snow this week, so while she enjoys some well-earned R & R you all get stuck with all me, all the time! Ha. :) But […]
Strawberry Basil Bruschetta
It’s mooooovvinnnng day!! And yesterday my sweet little boy turned one, but he’s getting a belated birthday cake so he’s also getting an accompanying late birthday post, stay tuned :) It doesn’t seem real at all that we’re moving today, despite the piles of boxes around me and the 2 hours spent yesterday scrubbing other […]
On a Sausage Roll
Since Anna and I are now far away from each other, and our coordination is not always what it should be, this just so happens to be a day when we both post. Considering this is only the first day I am away, this may not bode well for future organization but it is great […]
