So, ya’ know, I was just sitting at home this morning and decided to make homemade butter. No big deal. For some of you making homemade butter may not be a big deal, but to me? Homemade butter = big deal. I had no idea how easy butter was to make. Heavy whipping cream and…

The Particular Randomness of Spiced Pear Cake
Today I feel like being random then sharing this awesome recipe with you. So here are my random thoughts from today… When you wear a blazer as part of your outfit but the weather gets colder than blazer weather, do you wear a jacket or coat over your blazer? What’s the right thing to do…
A Breakfast Solution {Recipe: Sausage and Cheese on Homemade English Muffins}
I have a confession to make. I Love, with a capital L, Sausage Cheese McMuffins from McDonald’s. I blame it on Leah. This love began when I was pregnant with her. I couldn’t stomach meat of any kind, but for some reason craved Sausage Cheese McMuffins like they were going out of style. It was…
Pepper Pancakes?
When we visit my parents in Mission, Texas each year (near South Padre) there is always plenty of memory making fun happening. We get to go to the beach… We swim in their retirement community pool and hot tub under the palm trees… We go to the zoo… We hang out and get to explore…

Celebrating the Friday Cocktail {Recipe: Friday Night Coffee}
Ahhhh… Friday nights. This past Friday night I was in my PJ’s and in bed by 7pm. In fact, I had called a friend and left a voicemail at 5 to see if she wanted to come over for a glass of wine. I didn’t hear from her until 6:30 – and she was all…
A Good Day {Recipe: Hot Apple Cider Funnel Cakes}
You know it’s been a good day when one of the kids walks into the house from school and says “It smells like those doughnuts from the pumpkin patch and apple orchard in here. Why does it smell like those apple doughnuts? Where are the doughnuts?” No, I didn’t make doughnuts today, but I did…
Time With Harry & David and Friends {Recipe: Red Wine Peach Vinaigrette}
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of heading to Medford, Oregon to spend a few days with the folks at Harry & David. First of all, as you can probably guess, I loved Oregon. Completely and totally to pieces. And yes, I may have said one or two times that I want to…
