Congratulations to Katie C. the winner of the Uncommon Goods Giveaway! I know you will enjoy the gifts as much as I did! Hi friends. It has been way too long. I am back from vacation in San Diego and totally behind schedule. I planned on blogging while I was there but I took my lap top which I don't usually blog from and it was so slow that I couldn't handle wasting precious vacation time trying to post. I didn't take many real photos but if you are on instagram you can see a few of the ones I did take while in San Diego (click on the IG button up top). We hit up Disneyland, California … [Read more...]

I haven't posted a splurge-worthy recipe in a LONG time so look away if you are trying to fit into a bathing suit by the summer time. Look away if you are watching what you're eating. You're going to want one of these cookies now. And you will make a batch and want to eat them all and you will hate me for it. So if you like cookies, just look away. Pretend like you never saw this. For those of you who are accepting of the splurge, these cookies were awesome. They resembled the Girl Scout Peanut Butter Sandwich cookie, only WAY, WAY, WAY better. First off, they are much bigger, the … [Read more...]

Haystacks-1

Whether you're making cookies for Santa, your neighbor or to enjoy at home, December is full of baking and treats. I, like many others, love to bake and eat sweets. How do I manage to do it and not gain weight? Easy! I exercise consistently and share my goodies. I also eat healthy meals daily which helps to balance out my calories. One thing I've been doing lately is to make a small plate of crudite (raw veggies) and dip for us to eat before dinner (usually while I am cooking). That way, I know we're getting extra veggies into our diet and it helps us to not feel so hungry for dinner (our favs … [Read more...]

Nothing says Valentine's Day like chocolate. I mean seriously, I'd like to meet the person who says they don't like it. For some reason, I crave chocolate even more during Valentine's day. I have trained my husband to include a box of chocolates as part of the gift exchange. Non-negotiable. I love picking through the flavors and end up throwing away a half eaten box, but there is always the excitement of knowing the whole box is for me! Since we had kids 4 years ago, we stopped going out to dinner on Valentine's day and instead cook at home after the kids go to bed. For me it's just as nice … [Read more...]
