A lot goes on behind the scenes of a blog, which is really just a window into someone’s life…or however much of it they wish for you to see. Sometimes I feel like grabbing a megaphone and shouting from the rooftops about all that’s going on in my life. I want everyone to know what […]

We have two pear trees in our backyard. And two apple trees. This makes for a lot of fruit that is either falling on the ground ready to be eaten immediately or fruit that hangs precariously at eye level, teasing us with it’s ridiculously long ripening times.

Zucchinis. A gardener’s bane and a foodie’s dream? Or a gardener’s dream and a foodie’s nightmare? I like to look at it both ways. I love that a simple plant I barely need to even look at produces food every day. There is always at least one zucchini ready for me every day. On the other

I’ll be the first one to admit that I’m not a big fan of cold weather. Which is strange really. I’m one of those women who needs it to be cool to sleep (you know the ones. The husband wants it to be warm, but the wife doesn’t. Someone always suffers. Well, it isn’t me).
