This has been breakfast of late. Yogurt, topped either with homemade granola or muesli, the later sometimes literally being thrown haphazardly by handful measurements of oats, nuts, and seeds on top and accompanied by seasonal fruit. I do have to say though, that in the year that we have moved into our house with a… Continue reading Yogurt redefined

Cool down with a mint tea
I thought I was going to be sharing a broccoli recipe with you today, but if you’re in the area, you’re with me when I say hello sunshine! So I changed my mind and went with something a little more refreshing. I’ve been playing around with the herbs currently growing in my garden. The perennial… Continue reading Cool down with a mint tea
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. I was in a third/forth split class and our teacher made us memorize and present a poem to the class each week. Sometimes we could choose partners, which made memorizing and standing… Continue reading Yummy lettuce wrap recipe

I feel so truly… Continue reading Birthday cake

I already know most of the creaks in the floorboards, the way certain drawers in the kitchen need to be pushed in just a little harder, and… Continue reading Fresh Granola for Breakfast
Summer Salad
It was time to thin out the garden. If you follow me maybe you’ve seen a little glimpse into our backyard garden. It is so crazy how in mid May everything was still a bare patch of dirt. Now it’s overflowing and I’m placed with the hard task of thinning out the carrots and greens… Continue reading Summer Salad
Pumpkin Spice Season
It’s true. I have a very hungry appetite for all things pumpkin-y and spice scented during the Fall. But my motivation for this recipe comes from my realization that I can count the number of decorations I own for one of my favorite holidays of the year, Halloween, on one hand. Actually, one finger. It’s… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Season
