No-Bake Banana Maca Cookie
When the words “life” and “changing” are said together, it induces a wide-eyed, salivating need to know more kind of reaction. At least for me…especially when anything food related is involved! So I love bananas and I love cookies and … Continue reading

#MotivationalMonday- I Am A Buche De Noel But Bandz A Make Me Dance
If you aren’t familiar with first part of this ridiculous title, it’s a pastry. This decadent 3-part cake is a hot holiday item and is available in chocolate or vanilla. How do I know this? Orientation this past weekend at … Continue reading

When In Doubt, Oat It Out
Oats is one of those words that gets uber weird after repeating it about 4 times. Very similar to “Peter Piper Picked A Peck of Pickled Peppers.” (Had to read and edit that three times over…and that was just writing … Continue reading

Goodness of My Heart- Three’s A Charm
Right now, I’m thankful for running water and soap. It seems I have been up to my eyelids in flour, which is great for Halloween, but not as an every day outfit. Almost every day this week I have baked. … Continue reading
Goodness of My Heart- Cookies & Mini Muffins
You know what scares me? Machines. The other day I realized we not only have machines controlling our money, but our minds too. There’s the self-checkout, automated bill pay, SIRI, brainy vacuums, and even preliminary surgical machines overtaking the ER! … Continue reading
