I will be 100% honest here… I did not personally make these gorgeous Adirondack chairs. That would be Jon, who, using me as a cheerleader, made a set of plans on cardboard, cut out each piece of lumber, and screwed each piece into place. We’ve been wanting a set for quite some time, but in […]
I am a hermit. My friends? They are scattered about the US. I am a blogger. My friends are bloggers. We text, we tweet. We catch up on Facebook. It works for us. Sometimes, we all show up in the same town at the same time, and that’s awesome…thank goodness for Media Tours. But most […]
When you were a kid, did you ever have a day in the kitchen when you collected a bunch of random ingredients, mixed it into a cup, and then got your crazy Uncle Tommy to eat or drink it? And he did? Like, old coffee, RC Cola, crushed up potato chips and a half eaten […]
I don’t know about your family, but mine? Well, let’s just say I’m not June Cleaver, and I’m not making dinner for 4 hours a day. If’ I’m lucky, I pull together dinner in an hour, if I can. I rarely, if ever, WANT to. Not sure why that is though…I do love to cook. […]
Okay, maybe. But, it makes sense. If you are what you eat, you are also most certainly what you drink. So, maybe we should try drinking a little healthier. You don’t hear much about that though, do you? It’s always talk about cutting carbs, omitting dessert (the horror!), and finding new salads. But behold – […]
Back before I started the Popover Project, I experimented a few times with some flavors. One of my absolute favorites is the Apple Pie Popover, and since it’s that time of year, I thought I’d introduce the newcomers to Doughmesstic to this flavorful and fun breakfast. Expect chewy, tart bites of apple goodness. Expect the […]
Maybe you are like me, and you’ve been trolling the internet for Halloween treats. Can you believe it’s only a week away? I’m not sure where the time even goes…it was JUST Memorial Day. I swear it. But, nonetheless, the spooky holiday is upon us, and I’m seeing all sorts of amazing treats pop up […]
I told you a few weeks ago that I was headed north to Connecticut, to spend a weekend in Greenwich at the Food & Wine Festival. I was excited, of course…but also nervous. Nervous? Yep. You see, it’s rare I travel alone anymore. And if you know me at all, you know I am PeoplePhobic. […]
Popovers. I skipped last week. Good gravy. I’m sorry about that. I’ve been traveling so much that I don’t even know what day it is, and last Thursday came and went with me in California, completely oblivious to the fact that the world was still, in fact, turning. I’ve gone from Fresno, nearly straight to […]
Visiting Yosemite I recently had the opportunity to visit Fresno as part of the California Raisin Blogger Bunch, which I am thrilled to be a part of. The group of 9 bloggers is diverse, but we all got along wonderfully, and I look so forward to future projects we will all be doing together. Now, […]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I love Pinterest. Don’t you? I swear, I could lose eleven hours a day there if I allowed it. I’d not admit to it, though. I especially like using it for holiday ideas: Christmas, […]
Surprise. I do. I still make cakes. Granted, I put myself in a self-imposed cake reduction phase this year, as I did so many last year, I started hating it. I desperately do NOT want to hate cake. Plus, I travel a lot these days, so, cakes are hard to schedule. But, when I do […]
