There are two motivators for my baking coffee cake. From scratch. In the oven. In the middle of summer. One. You. This blog needs content so it motivates me do something to get me off the couch and then to document it. Two. Hub needs gluten free and heāll eat it. So will I, of […]
The Dyson V6 stick vac we have been using and loving for a few years can no longer hold a charge long enough to spot vacuum the entire house. Darn it. Thatās after we replaced the battery once already, too. Those little stick vacs are quite an investment ā like shockingly expensive, in my opinion, […]
Like many others, Iām really trying to limit my sugar intake. But sometimes, I need just a little something. With chocolate in it. That will freeze nicely so I donāt eat a whole batch. And, for the hub, itās nice if itās gluten free. This recipe calls for 8 ingredients and even I could scrounge that […]
On a recent trip to Arhaus, I spotted a dining set very similar to the set in our kitchen. And boy was I drooling over the simple, but classic striped fabric on the chairs.

As salad greens go, arugula keeps a long time, has a nice tangy flavor and is usually in my fridge.Ā A simple lemon vinaigrette makes the best dressing for the peppery leaf.Ā Why is that word so dang hard to spell? Homemade dressing is so easy to make and easy to modify to your taste. […]
Iām still figuring out the Insta Pot and Iām still figuring out what fiber-rich dishes I can add back into my eating routine.Ā Soup is always high on my list of favorites, so Iām using up that bag of lentils in the pantry and trying out a new recipe. Delish.com has been a reliable recipe […]
I posted several months ago how much I loved the new shutters in our bathroom and transom windows in our bedroom. Then. I decided I needed to replace the woven woods with plantation shutters too.
