Are we relaxed? And enjoying the season? And just taking care of ourselves, and reflecting on the birth of Christ? Or are we running around like a bunch of chickens with our heads cut off and asking ourselves why are we doing this? It’s the most wonderful, complicated time of the year. At the end […]

Almond Joy Ice Cream Sandwiches
Happy Halloween! In honor of the 8 million treats already headed your way today, I give you, possibly the most decadent treat to date. As you know, I spent part of my summer working on ice cream recipes. God bless my family because they all got on the flavor train, which was really great because […]
Main Street Finds Vol 2.
Guys. It’s Main Street”S time of the year. The Harvest Events and that low lying buzz of the holidays on our minds. Last week the boys and I had a blast bouncing all over Main Street with the pups dressed up for Halloween and the bands playing at The Wine Bin, and we just enjoyed […]
Main Street Finds Vol. 1
Did you know….15,621,419 Americans are currently owner-managers of a small business? Guess what? I didn’t either. Chef and I are two of them, and my business neighbors and friends make a whole bunch of the rest of the 15.6 mil. I spend a lot of time on Main Street. Not just working, but playing, and […]
Coffee Ice Cream
Friday! Ice Cream! And this flavor, you can definitely serve for breakfast. To start, whisk the milk, cream and sugar, and add the whole bean coffee. Now, this is the real deal, you can use decaf beans and decaf instant coffee, so you can eat this after 9am. Or you can just be adventurous and […]

These also make a great afternoon snack, dessert, and when protein powder is added can be […]
Vanilla Ice Cream
I scream! You scream! We all scream for ICE CREAM! Just last week I was joking with some girlfriends about my summer goals. And with summer over, we laughed at each other about the goals we make each summer and don’t achieve. My original goals – organize the back basement (nope), read more (kinda), hang […]
Popcorn Pretzel Treats
One of my all time favorite desserts is Rice Krispies Treats. I love the taste, and I love how easy they are to make. You can have dessert homemade in less than five minutes. They are great for the pool, picnics, school lunches, and even afternoon snacks. I was kinda jonesing for one the other […]
Simple Lemon Dressing
The boys and I have been enjoying grilling pizza on our pizza nights, and one of my favorite pizza toppings is salad greens. It sounds silly, I know. I keep the toppings pretty minimal for this and go with cheese or pesto, and pile the salad right on top. And just like the pizza itself, […]
Flood Recovery from A to Z
It’s been too long since I have posted in this old girl. I would like to blame it on summer, but flood life is really to blame. It’s caused a lot of external and in my case, internal turmoil, and I am just now getting to a healthier place. I would have very much liked […]
