Hello! It’s a beautiful day here in Boulder, Colorado — the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the squirrels are peaking into our window, and… people are stumbling home wrapped...
Some of you might be intrigued by the title of this post — what in the world is a biscochito (or, as my abuela spelled it, bizcochito)? If you come from a Hispanic family, you probably already ...
To say, “It’s been a while!” would be kind of an understatement, eh? I have literally hundreds of comments and emails I am behind on responding to, and my blog in general needs a gr...
Ok, this post has been weeks in the making. Literally. I haven’t been sitting idly on my fanny though — no, no. I’ve been baking about seven (huge) batches of donuts. My personal te...
The recipe should be up tomorrow or Tuesday, but seriously, I just cannot get the photos to look right. I think it’s the changed lighting on our porch, but regardless, my photo mojo is off. Res...
Hey friends! So, I’m later on posting than I had hoped, but for a good reason; today my husband whisked me off to the mountains for a birthday getaway! Perhaps I’ll do a little recap just...
FRIENDS. I’m back. Sorry about the weeks-long hiatus. Life got crazy like whoa very, very quickly — pretty much as soon as my grad classes started up, and I took a new job, and so on. Ent...
Hello friends! I wasn’t able to post this week for several reasons, but I had a few (very considerate and kind) readers inquire as to whether all is ok, where I am, etc., and I wanted to thank ...
So apparently I’m not easing into the season as smoothly as I thought I would… I went and bought an ice cream maker at Goodwill for $3 a couple weekends ago. And now… I think I have...
Welp, I found my lost recipe! Phew. And just in time for autumn to arrive — it’s starting to feel a bit chilly in Boulder! I know, I know… Fall is still a dirty word for some of you...
Long. Weekend. Sweet words, yes? Let’s be honest, Labor Day is less about it’s historical significance and more about things like BBQ, camping, and generally squeezing in one last dose of...
So I had the privilege to meet dear, sweet blog reader Brenda before she moved away — but I got the most adorable text message from her yesterday saying she made the baked beans (one of my most...
Firstly, thank you so much for your feedback in the poll! I’m taking it to heart. Also, the random winner is Karen! Karen, I’ll be emailing you. : ) A few things have happened recently t...
So, I wanted to do a quick check-in poll and give you a chance to provide some feedback, if you so desire. I just want to make sure I’m serving my purpose here. BUT — there is an incentiv...
So, it seems that everyone is writing fabulous recaps of the Healthy Living Summit, chock-full of photos and fun stories. Um… I had a great time, but usually when I have a great time, I am a te...
(Psst: This post is a day late. Sorry! Internet issues at the hotel.) Sooo. I’m heading to the city of brotherly (sisterly?) love for the Healthy Living Summit! I am actually writing this in th...
Yep. I went there. I so went there. We are all probably wanting relief right now, yes? Dog days indeed. Truth be told, if I would have had tequila on hand, I probably would have thrown it in there to...
Congratulations to Chris and Caia — thanks to Random.org, you two are the winners of the Muir Glen giveaway! Woo! Please send me an email (NFKatie[at]gmail.com) with your mailing address. After...
We made two different kinds of vegan ice cream this weekend. I know. We might have a problem. But hear me out! Please see the following list for really good justifications reasons: 1) When were visit...
SO. Sorry about my song lyric title… It kept coming to mind as I wrote this. Random Story #1: My dad worked for a college, and right before the Red Hot Chili Peppers hit the big time (i.e., top...
So our friends Quincy and Emily were kind enough to offer us their CSA share from the farm this week while they were gone (we have a garden instead of the CSA this year). Q and E knew we were missing...
So, Heather (of Heather Eats Almond Butter) recently linked to me because she is trying out the “no-’poo” method I wrote about here and here months ago. I had no idea so many people...
I’ve never been a huge fan of Green Goddess Dressing. This shocks me, as well, seeing as I love green so much my blood is probably closer to an emerald tinge… (Random nerd question: Did y...
I always like to get acquainted with a blog more fully by browsing posts both from the past as well as recent ones; it gives me a sense of what the character of the site is. If you’ve been a re...
If you have a garden, or know anyone who does, then you probably know what I mean when I talk about “zucchini monsters” and “squash bats.” Bats as in the baseball variety, not...
Ok. I am still a blogger in progress… I learn things from trial and error. Case in point: I now know that I should have spread some ketchup on the top of this to make it “pop” more ...
So, have you seen the 7 Links theme spreading like wildfire in the blogosphere? Matt of The Athlete’s Plate kindly included me in his 7 Links post last week (thanks Matt!). Although I don’...
So, you got an idea of what we did last week with my folks, but here is (finally!) an update on just the husband and I’s pseudo-anniversary trip. Our actual anniversary is in December… bu...
There are several layers to this celebration trip. I wanted to show a couple of them in this post. I have been dreaming of returning to this area of Florida since we took a brief, but magical, family...
So. I’m not dead. I have just been following my own advice and nourishing flourishing in my life by taking a break. The past two weeks have been so rich, I wanted to backtrack before I fill a p...
