Thanks to CSN Stores, I was given the opportunity to test two products that I had on my wish list. As per usual, the cookware.com branch of CSN stores had exactly what I was looking for, the right prices, and fast shipping. I highly recommend them to all of you. The Oxo Good Grips sifter is strong […]

The One with My Baking
In case you didn’t know this already, I love to bake and cook and create in the kitchen. My love of baking stems back to my toddler days when I would spend hours with Mrs. S, our pastor’s wife. At that time, my mom was struggling with debilitating migraines, and Mrs. S stepped in to take […]
The One with the Crunchy Granola

The One with an Entire Day in the Kitchen
I bake a lot. You probably know that. Today was a baking day like I’ve never experienced. Thanksgiving prep came close, but yet not so much. I starting working in the kitchen at 10:00am. I took a 30 minute break for dinner at 7:30pm. And I finally sat down at 9:30pm. Not. Even. Kidding. I’m […]
The One with the Last Couple Days
Things I have done in the last 48 hours– Zested 10 oranges and grated the skin right off of my thumb’s knuckle. ouch. Sold one of the handmade items I’m excited to reveal to the world post-Christmas. Spent time in wonderful early morning conversation with my sweet husband. Had my butt (and abs) kicked HARD […]
The One with the Smoke Alarm Garlic Bread
I decided to be every teen’s favorite person and make some garlic bread. I bought three loaves of Italian bread from Kroger, sliced them open, buttered them, and sprinkled with too much garlic. It was perfection. I heated the oven to the “low” broil setting. I set a timer, not wanting to burn the loaves. […]
The One with my Birthday Days
On this brisk fall/winter morning, I wanted to remember–to be thankful for the wonderful 25th birthday celebration I had. Here’s the run-down: The Friday before my birthday, my husband’s family took us out to dinner, enjoyed dessert at our home, and showered me with gifts. I’m really looking forward to using my cake decorating tips! […]
The One with the Solo Thanksgiving
We arrived back from Nashville at our central meeting location at 11pm Monday, still an hour and a half from our home. As we loaded our car, the rain came pouring down harder–with a vengeance in fact. I was uptight, tired and cranky–not at all in the mood to put up with blinding precipitation. Kevin wanted to […]
