Adventures in Gardening
Seasonal Sweetness
My husband’s parents have the most amazing backyard. Hammocks, sitting areas, and so many beautiful (and delicious) plants. Thankfully, we spend a fair amount of time with them and are able to enjoy it all.
Right now, the mango tree is reaching its peak. We have the tastiest mangoes I’ve ever eaten, literally anytime [...]
A Glimpse.
I’m woken early. Too early, considering I stayed up late working the night before. Begrudgingly I stumble out of bed as Seth begs for cartoon and a banana. I will my mind and body to awaken. I take care of my son and start my coffee, doing a few stretches as it brews, trying to [...]
Crunchy Granola
Homemade granola is seriously one of my favorite snack foods ever. Totally delicious and healthful- what’s not to love? This is my version, which doesn’t last long around here.
Ingredients:

1 cup toasted almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup toasted sunflower seeds

Something you may not know about me: I’m not a huge fan of shopping in malls. I have heard some ladies describe shopping as “exhilarating” and “energizing”, but while I don’t completely hate a few hours at the mall, it overwhelms me. I always leave exhausted. Then I discovered the wonders of thrift, antique, and [...]
Soup for Lunch
Yesterday’s lunch {and it will be today’s as well}- this wonderful soup recipe from Cannelle et Vanille.
With a hunk of hearty bread, it is the perfect winter meal.
I want to do more food photography. I have been so inspired lately, by the above-mentioned [...]
Recipe: Turtle Candy
Pecan turtles are one of my all-time favorite candies, and I decided I’d like to try my hand at making some to give as gifts this year. I’ve seen more complicated recipes, but this one is pretty simple (though it can get pretty messy- be warned!).
Prepare a couple of baking sheets by covering with [...]
Festivities…
Decorating our tree. Manny’s parents came over to help.
Manny shot these:
And the next week, we went with them to get [...]
