This Christmas (2019) was the first one I didn’t spend hours in the kitchen baking 5 different kinds of cookies, peanut butter balls etc. etc. … oh and then there’s the actual Christmas dinner! Why? Well, frankly I simply didn’t have the time or the desire to complicate my life so much this time around.
Are you looking for a light and easy cottage weekend breakfast? Look no further! This super simple cottage granola fills the bill. I’ve been making this granola for years now constantly building off the original recipe I got from my Mom. The thing I like best about granola (aside from how light yet satisfying it
I’ve been struggling with this topic for a while now – years in fact. Going Green. Green Living. Eco-consciousness. It seems odd when the topic is so important to me, but in light of the global uprising of reducing our footprint on the planet, I think I need to just write what I know so
