Yummy lettuce wrap recipe

I was little when I heard my first poem, but it wasn’t until the third grade that I really remember learning about poetry.

Sometimes we could choose partners, which made memorizing and standing… Continue reading Yummy lettuce wrap recipe

Hazelnut cakes

Cookies, cakes, and all things sweet were the gateway for my love of being in the kitchen. I’m known in my family as the “Martha-esq” type, whipping up desserts and craft projects for fun.

Fresh, yet different salad idea

I (again) have grand ideas about gardening this year. Seed catalogues, detailed spread sheets, and gardening books have been strewn about our dining table for the last two weeks. One evening, I looked up from my barricade, laughing and told Scott, “it feels like I’m in school again”. Although, lets be real, I probably never… Continue reading Fresh, yet different salad idea
