I am not a baker. It’s as simple as that. I try, I really do, but I have just had too many failed attempts to call myself such. I can cook up a storm all day long. Cooking is an art. My plate is my canvas. Baking, however, is a science. A science which requires…
I have never been one to dive head first into the annual pumpkin craze. Not that I don’t like pumpkin, I’ve just never become pumpkin obsessed. Fall rolls around, the temperature drops a few degrees, and everyone is slipping into their boots and leggings and heading to starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte. Don’t lie, you know…
I have a major sweet tooth. Admittedly, its nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I have completed the 21 day sugar detox with great success. But, there is just a power that dessert has over me. And being the only one in my family (other than my children) who eats only real,…

Of course, I said I was thankful for my beautiful family, my incredible husband who supports me in every way possible, for having such a close-knit family that…
I got a taste of Christmas today. I have always been a sentimental one. And something about baking cookies with my baby girl in her footie pajamas and pigtails…got me kind of choked up. She is at such a wonderful age to really understand and appreciate the joys of Christmas this year. I anticipate this…
