My husband has an awesome sense of humor, he created a “ribbon cutting” for my site’s new look while I was in the gym yesterday. Hilarious, right? Actually it was a sweet, funny surprise. He also picked up a fun gift that was on clearance at Target – two Smith & Hawken indoor herb growing […]
Charging into 2011
Happy New Year! And why not a new look with it? It will continue to be tweaked over the next week as I improve formatting, colors, etc. Anyway, we had a quiet New Year’s Eve starting with stepping out for sushi and coming home to watch movies and it was nice after all the Christmas […]
Wrapping Up 2010
Hard to believe this year is already over. But the great thing about a blog is being able to take a look back at all the wonderful things that happened. Adventures I tried my luck at creating a raw dog food recipe … which went over like a lead balloon. I got overwhelmed with raw […]
Red Kuri Squash, Salads & Snapping Away Still
Another long weekend has officially started, woohoo! A cold start though, we’re supposed to freeze again tonight and currently in the 40s, I might have to turn on the heat because my fingers are getting numb! I really have no plans for the weekend except for a SkyRobics class, relaxing and tearing down Christmas decorations […]
Southwestern Corn Stew
This has been a quiet week at work and that’s alright with me, it’s nice to enjoy a little low time before charging into the new year. Time to continue to snap away with our new camera, my poor pets. But I just love the lighting and detail of this shot, the flash on my […]
Guacamole Dressing
My lucky hubby has this entire week off to play with our new gifts at home while I slave away at work, it’s not fair I tell ya! Actually this week hasn’t been that bad, yet. But it’s given him a lot of time with the new camera to annoy the cats. They’re trying to […]
Avocado Ginger Dressing
It’s so hard getting back to the grind after such a wonderful Christmas weekend, at least it’s a shorter, quieter week. I really wanted to ignore my alarm this morning partly because my cats spent most of the night partying with new Christmas toys, specifically a round ball with a bell they enjoyed slamming into […]
Celebrating with Chocolate
As a kid, I hated the day after Christmas because it was tough coming down from all the excitement, gift opening and family. Now I appreciate it more, it still feels like Christmas to me minus the stress of wrapping gifts, cooking and shopping. Today I’ve been relaxing, cleaning and enjoying the peace after so […]
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! I hope everyone that celebrates is having an amazing one. I sure am! And I’ve been spending lots of time playing in the kitchen making creations for family gatherings. Last night we had a mini gathering at one of my sister’s houses and I threw together a double batch of Simple Green Lentil […]
Holiday Preparations
Excuse me while I jump for joy that this work week is over and that it was a quiet, short day at work. Perfect way to end such a busy week and I’m feeling much better than yesterday. It was also a productive day of finalizing gift purchases, wrapping and a trip to Whole Foods […]
