I have to admit that I’m totally stealing the idea for this blog post from a friend of mine (with her permission!). A few weeks ago, she announced that she was putting together a meal plan based on “food holidays.” I’ve done recipe posts based on one food holiday, but putting together a meal plan …

I have had unruly, curly hair my entire life. Before I discovered hair product, the teacher used to joke that I had a lions mane in 6th grade. Just what an awkward tween girl wants to hear, right? In college, I finally figured out how to straighten my curly locks with a blow dryer, flat …

From early on kids have an affinity for joining their parents in the kitchen. It is exciting learning to cook! I mean, truly, there is nothing more fun than stirring and nothing more fun than eating something YOU made! Getting kids in the kitchen early and often is a lot of work, but trust me, …

Snickerdoodle cookies are one of my most favorite desserts. So, when I stumbled upon a recipe for snickerdoodle bread, I knew I had to give it a try! I merged that recipe with some elements from my best banana bread recipe and baked up something that tastes a bit like heaven! Truly, with a heavy …
