Hey all! I promised you all a recipe a couple of weeks ago, so here it is!: Applesauce Muffins (E, N, D) makes about 20 muffins adapted from Betty Crocker’s Cookbook (ca. 1987) Ingredients: – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – 1 cup whole wheat flour – 1 1/4 cup sugar – 1 1/2 tsp. […]

Good afternoon, and happy Friday! Last night I made a dinner and had a mini celebration for my friend Sarah, who just finished her undergrad degree! We met our sophomore year of high school, and have been great friends ever since. 🙂 Sarah finished her degree in three years, taking 20+ credits almost every semester. […]

Good morning! Happy Wednesday! I’m taking a break from my homework and my To-Do list to bring you a quick, simple, and delicious smoothie! There are plenty of variations you could do for this one, but my favorite is the one I’ve written up. See below for variation ideas.  Strawberry Protein Smoothie (E, N, D?, GF) […]

Happy (day after) Cinco de Mayo! I have a couple of recipes that I have to share with you all. They’re not mine, so I’ll give links to the actual websites, but I’ll show you some pictures! The first: Salted Lime Tortilla Chips (E, N, D, GF) I had to use “Realime” juice instead of […]

Hello everyone! As I mentioned before, I don’t have too much time to write, but I will give a quick recap of this past weekend. It was a super long one for me (my university gives us the Thursday and Friday before finals week off), so I took advantage of that! Bright and early on […]

Hello everyone! I apologize for my lack of updating recently…I know I’ve promised recipes, how-to’s, and other things, but this week and next are the last two of the semester, and are therefore CRAZY! I’ll be back to blogging hopefully by the end of next week. In the meantime, I hope you’re all doing well! […]

Good morning! I thought I’d start the day with step-by-step instructions on how I made those Peeps Easter cupcakes last Saturday! Well, first of all, mad props to Madhuram’s Eggless Cooking website for this great cupcake recipe. Because you can just click over to the site, I won’t rewrite the recipe, but it is definitely […]

Ella got a pretty bad haircut, but I had to add this picture because I love when she lays like this. Grandma’s Birthday Party! Cupcake and ice cream 🙂 More on these cupcakes in a later post….. 😉 Bubbles! My brother, my cousins, and I. Love little Carter’s face in this one!: Before the party, […]

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Our final days in Mexico were just as fun as the first couple. One of the cool things about Vallarta Palace is that when you stay there, you get “free” resort dollars. You can use these to “pay” for massages, excursions, fun things to do on the resort, or to hire […]

Hello and Happy Easter! It is a gorgeous day here…a bit chilly, but sunny and spring-y! We’re having a pretty laid-back Sunday today, so I thought I’d take some time and continue my recap of our Mexican vacation! On the third day, after lounging around the pool (and getting massages!), we decided to take a cab […]
