Tomato and Olive Crostini
Now that Nashville has seen it’s last frost, I’ve been contemplating whether or not I want to try to plant a garden this year. By garden I mean a nice neat container garden. I have a small patch of grass in my front yard and a back deck that would hold a nice collection of large […]
Banana Oatmeal Muffins + Vacation Pics
One of the few good things about having a hubby with a travel job is that occasionally, you get to tag along on a really great trip. A few weeks ago, I met him in Las Vegas and we drove down to the Grand Canyon for a few days. Even with tons of tourists, the […]

When I’m stuck in the house and bored, I like to bake. Since we’ve started eating differently, I’ve been trying to make our recipes a little […]
Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
I can’t believe that I’ve been missing out on almond butter all of these years. Mentally, I’ve always lumped it into the same category as natural peanut butter. Not fresh ground peanut butter. I’m talking about the gross stuff you see in the store with the layer of oil on top that needs to be […]
