We’ve all gotten to that point in the middle of the day when you are famished but realize that you didn’t pack a lunch!  For teachers that this means that you likely won’t eat until the school day is over because, let’s be honest, who has time to leave the building during your 20 minutes […]

Each year my husband and I throw a shrimp fest, yes, you heard that right, a festival of potluck style dishes that include shrimp in some way.  This year folks went over the top and now I have a whole host of new recipes that I’ll eventually need to make and post on here on […]

Earlier this week a few friends and I went to a live taping of The Moth which, if you haven’t heard, is an organization working to bring back and elevate the lost art of storytelling.

Recently I’ve had a hankering for some new homemade snacks.  This post from Diane’s Blog convinced me that making hummus is a simple process and that I should give it a go – thank you! I followed this recipe directly, as I was intrigued by the fact that it was oil free.  The only shifts […]
