If you’ve ever had a 12 month old, you know they want what you have. They want your phone, your keys, your coffee. The same is true at meal time. If you’re eating chips, they’ll want chips.

We also had a dentist in our neighborhood that gave out … Continue reading RANT: Big Bags o’ Candy
My friend Lisa returned from her family’s organic peach farm in Colorado with these phenomenally good peaches. They were magically delicious by themselves, but I was in charge of a dessert for a dinner party, so I thought I’d somehow incorporate them in to a sweet treat. I used to use store bought or canned peaches, a tube of ‘slice and bake’ sugar cookies and … Continue reading RECIPE: Peaches and Cream Cups
We usually celebrate the 4th of July with my fantastically fun family at the beach. Everyone decorates their bikes or makes golf cart floats and there’s a parade down to an area with jumps, inflatable slides and rides for the kids. (Which in theory is quite fun, but can also be a bit of a crowed, hot sweat-fest). It is great to see everyone and catch … Continue reading RANT: Yankle-Doodle Dandy! Happy 4th of July

I have to be honest. I almost didn’t share this recipe with you guys. Because I was going to launch the Power Ball Super Dessert line and retire on an island, giving 50% of my Power Ball proceeds to charity. But I’ve decided my charity act instead, is going to be passing it along to you. Not that you are a charity act…really I’m way … Continue reading RECIPE: Power Balls!

But then again, isn’t that’s … Continue reading RANT: why simplify?
