Mornin’ guys! I hope that your Monday is off to a good start. Mine is already in spaz mode but that’s nothing new. This week is a little extra crazy as we add in preparations for a trip that we are taking this week. However, who wants to talk about that when there is something […]

Some years we wake up to a brisk, chilly Christmas and other years we’re in tank tops with flip flops. This Christmas is on the warm and humid side, and I love it! It would be nice to have fluffy white snow for Christmas. It would definitely feel more nostalgic and cozy, but by now […]

There are a few people in my life whom you could define as Coconut “Nuts”. I wouldn’t be one of them. On occasion I will make some scrumptious recipes with coconut. The ever sweet variety with Pineapple Coconut Cupcakes or savory, that I seem to lean towards such as Bailey’s Coconut Shrimp. Although I’m not […]

This weekend while the boys were outside playing I was in the kitchen messing around with sweets. I could’ve been out shopping in the madness with everyone else, but I’ll pick baking over shopping any ole’ day. The pixelated glow of electronics don’t hold a candle to butter or sugar in my book. I’m sure […]

This week while M2 was resting I baked. I also made soup, lots and lots of soup. But I’m not going to share soup recipes just yet, because soup still makes me think of thermometers and days spent on the sofa. By the way I want a new sofa. I baked the second pie that […]

It’s that time of year again. Time to pull our light sweaters and jeans from storage, but not quite time to ditch the flip flops. The beach has gone from crowds of summer fun, to serene long expanses. There are little signs all around that the seasons are changing. I don’t know if I’ve ever […]

Today is my birthday and usually I don’t mention it to anyone. Not because I have an issue getting older or anything but because I’m a lowkey kind of girl. Like Christmas, birthdays for me are more about kids, giving to others and sharing what you love… rather than being the center of attention. Now […]

I have never met Mikey, nor have I ever had the pleasure of meeting his wife Jennie. Yet, I find myself choking back tears as I sit here writing this post. This post is not about perfect pictures, recipes or witty content. This is about precious moments and the strength of love. Jennie happens to write the […]

As you all know my darlin’ surfer was off playing in the waves for the last three weeks. During that time you may have noticed that there hasn’t been many, if any recipes coming out of my kitchen. If you’ve been keeping up with my shenanigans you know why. So when my good friend Paula of Bellalimento invited me to […]
