Sometimes I shock myself with the random things that I do. They really make me question just how completely awesome I am. I know I’m pretty awesome at cooking, sewing, wielding the camera, and navigating the overall strangeness of life, but there are things that I am NOT awesome at. Like I am not awesome… Read more

Mango Peach Orange Popsicles
The weather is turning beautiful, FINALLY. I am really looking forward to having some nice and sunny days. What I am not looking forward to is the HOT weather and the allergies. Stupid allergies. I’m pretty much allergic to everything, and so far this year has been kicking my butt. It almost makes me miss… Read more
Raspberry Oat Bars (Vegan, Egg/Dairy/Gluten Free)
I’ve been drawn to vegan recipes for a while now. Not that I have any inclination to turn vegan, but they can have some VERY healthy desserts and I don’t feel quite as guilty eating a vegan dessert as I do a regular dessert.

When looking at a dessert or something sweet, I never really went for the chocolate. Sure there was the required Snickers bar in the morning during high school for… Read more
Marshmallows!
The best type of reaction you can get while cooking or learning to cook is the look and exclamation of “You made WHAT?!” This has happened to me more than a few times. Mostly with these lovely home made marshmallows. Yes! You can actually make marshmallows at home. However they are completely different than anything… Read more
Dark Chocolate Truffles
I have a new thing I want to start making. Finger food. I love the idea of being able to eat with your hands. Simple one bite packages that deliver taste and you don’t have to use a fork. For my first foray into the little bites section of my cooking experience, I give dessert:… Read more
