    Sweet treat

    What a lovely idea for a spring or summer wedding – portioned out strawberry shortcake. This would be fabulous at a picnic style wedding in a park or backyard. And you don’t have to use this idea fo rjust weddings. A birthday party or graduation party would be just as appropriate. Although for a wedding [...]

    Recipe: Stuffed Bell Pepper

    I tried this recipe for stuffed bell pepper last week and it was really good, cheap, and healthy. I made some slight changes to the original recipe, but below is exactly what I used.

And, being a good blogger, it took me twice as long as the recipe said it would because I kept stopping to take pictures. Brown Sugar Banana Waffles (serves 4. Four WW points per serving) Ingredients: 2/3 cups [...]

    Where did your breakfast come from?

    This was me, most of the weekend. Buried up to my eyebrows in Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. On the bus, at Boyfriends, on my couch, sprawled across the floor. I couldn’t put it down. In the (non-fiction) book, Kingsolver and her family choose to eat only locally grown/produced food for one year (with only [...]
