Hello! Quite literally, where do I begin at. To say that this my winter vacation thus far has been relaxing and low key would be an understatement, although it has provided a sense of relief since m...
Around this time, I think most of all fellow bloggers can agree that there’s no problem getting in that beta- carotene….. Am I right, or am I right? Breakfast today. Pumpkin- Chai Smooth...
For a holiday gathering recently, I made a big ole’ batch of veggie chili to share for the people who did not want to take part in the main meat dish. Not just any chili though…. Ashley&...
I‘m happy to report that in just a couple short days away, I’ll be free of the rigorous school semester and beginning my winter break. Hallelujah! Although I wish it began today, I have t...
Hey, all! Wonder if I’ve disappeared into a black hole? If you consider the library your second home and textbooks all you look at currently, then yes, i’ve been consumed by the black ho...
I don’t know what screams winter more than soup.... you tell me. With the semester shortly wrapping up and the weather getting brisker, there’s nothing I crave more than a warming and wh...
Hi, friends! I hope everyone had a much better start to their week than I did. It’s major school crunch time right now, meaning exam- project- and paper after another. I’m beyond stress...
How was everybody’s Thanksgiving holiday this year? I sure hope it was as good as mine, filled with lots (and I mean LOTS) of family, friends, delicious food, and relaxation. And for those of ...
As of now I’m humming, “It’s Looking A lot Like Christmas… er, Thanksgiving”. After four rather brutal hours of chopping, whisking, stirring, spilling, and cursing I com...
Can you believe the day we’ve all been waiting for (or agonizing over!) is just three short days away? Crazy, no? I don’t know how you feel, but it came sure fast! I want to share a coll...
Good afternoon, all! I hope everyone’s thoroughly enjoying their weekend so far. I know I am. Eating some good food, getting outside, and lounging around are my definition of relaxation. I w...
This is not your average PB&J. No siree it’s not. It’s even better-- much, much better. Discombobulated and rushing out to school, I whipped up this tasty sandwich or wrap filling t...
Apple- cinnamon protein pancakes a la my my favorite pancake creator. Walks around my college campus horticulture…. I couldn’t help but go the “ooooohs” and “ahhhhs̶...
Hi, my friends! First off, can I get a hallelujah? It’s Friday, we made it to the end of the week, and that’s simply all that matters. Well, for me at least. It’s been a rigorous ...
I’m so delighted many of you joined the iron conversation in my last post. It was wonderful to hear all your thoughts and musings about that ever controversial and growing topic. Keep it comin...
Hi Friends! I hope everyone had a smooth sailing week and if not, well fret no longer since it’s the Friday! I know I’m exhausted so nothing could sound better than some major R+R catch ...
I may not be the most ideal and reliable blogger…. I may not be the perfect student….. I may even not have time to do my daily household tasks, but I can assure you I do one thing right...
Evening, friends! Whew, there goes yet another week– and in my case, a rather tough and grueling one. My time for anything non school related is extremely limited these days, so when I do hav...
As I mentioned in the past, I’ve had a bag a beautiful blue corn meal sitting in my pantry, and quite sadly it’s not getting much use. I’ve used it all but one time with my blue co...
Despite my super busy school life, Thanksgiving is definitely apparent in most all of my meals. When I say I eat seasonal, I most certainly try to do so. And although I most definitely miss summer ...
I’d say the thing I miss most about summer is not only the fabulous weather, but the abundance of super sweet produce. Upon seeing some of the first cherries appear in early June, then corn, t...
A wonderful weekend indeed, and a much needed one for that matter. All the complaining i’ve been doing about my crazy school schedule sure earned me a weekend full of nothing more than rest an...
Any stereotypes you have about college students totally reign true for me. I’m the one who spends their free time in the library and doesn’t know when to get out. And who calls their se...
But I can assure you, it’s not you or me. If I could accurately depict how tedious and long my week was, I would. However no words can describe and they won’t. School is pretty dang tou...
I can’t help but break out into singing, “It’s Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas….“ when I think of this weekend and what it brought about. Fall is most definitely...
This morning, I yet again created something out of this world and knew I had to share this one. Fridays are my leisure days: no school and basically no plans for the day other than school work and v...
It may not officially be summer anymore, but it sure is on my plate and weather wise, too! Hence why my meals recently have been looking more summer- like than the normal fall transition ones. Summe...
Hope everyone had just as good of a weekend as I did. So sad to see it go, but that means next Friday is *that* much closer Fall is becoming more and more apparent to me with the shift in weather a...
I’ve gotten a lot of questions as to what the heck I’m bringing to school with me as far as meals and snacks. When I found out my school schedule wouldn’t allow me to eat lunch at ...
Whoa, whoa, whoa…. Back up, it’s been quite a week! To say my week has been hectic or busy would be an understatement, it’s been off the wall crazy. Besides sleeping at home, my da...
