I am all about convenience, in most aspects of my life. In particular, with cooking. So, when I had an opportunity to try out Blue Apron, I thought I’d give it a go. Really, I wanted to see if Blue Apron was worth the cost. (Note: this is not a sponsored post. A friend passed […]
Goals for a New Year
Happy New Year! I love celebrations and New Year’s is no different! I don’t really do New Year’s Resolutions but I do believe in goal setting. Here are some of my 2014 goals: Put God first.

Slow Cooker Kale And Artichoke Dip
Now is the season that I make everything I possibly can in my crock pot. And since that includes yummy snacks and dips, this week’s recipe is a throwback to one I posted almost a year ago. I made spinach dip in my crock pot and it was a big hit. This time, I decided […]

In the summertime with farm fresh tomatoes it is that much better. After spending last Saturday morning picking up goodies at my farmer’s market, I thought I’d combine my favorite flavors with one of […]
A Total Body Circuit
