Last month, I heard my kid say "I'm sorry" to a complete stranger at Target for no reason.

I've been taking some time this summer to focus on self-care.

This delightful mouthful of berries with a hint of lavender blossoms revolutionized the way I saw baking.

Am I the only one who gets pumped about using a crockpot during the colder months?

I do this thing that I'm really proud of: 

I eat leftovers.

If you are like me, you weren't raised to tune into your body, mind, or spirit. Tuning in was something you did to television, or something you made fun of when your weird Aunt Susan told you how to breathe into your third chakra to release your blocked Chi from three lifetimes ago.

Recipe Notice: These are tricky.

We're in flu season hell! In fact, according to, uh, science, it’s one of the worst seasons we’ve seen in the last 10 years.

Whoever Waldorf is, I love their style of salads the most. Fruit, celery, creamy goodness. It's hard to go wrong. I mean, you CAN go wrong, but you shouldn't because that would be silly.

One of my favorite things to do is make comfort food with a twist. Not so twisty that I lose people (I see you lurking in the $13 specialty treat section, beef jerky chocolate bar). Nor will I take two foods that are genius on their own but should probably never join themselves in a culinary union (I’m looking at you, Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger).
