It’s been awhile since we’ve tackled a project. But here is a new project – German Schmear. Or German Smear, just in case you’re not German. Remember when we redid hub’s office with a faux brick wall? We have loved the look in there, but the wall is pretty red and it didn’t have much […]
Have the rich meals, drinks and desserts offered during this season left you craving something a little lighter? How about eggplant “meatballs”? An excess of eggplants from a recent produce box left me scratching my head for a yummy recipe and a way to freeze up extra meals. Skinnytaste to the rescue. Gina’s recipes never […]
In case you missed it, I am posting daily in December with a fit challenge.Ā āFitā meaning all aspects of taking care of yourself.Ā Ā For many reasons, December skin care is really important and no need to lose sight of that during the holidays. Remember Jessy I mentioned a while back? Who not only started […]
A lazy morning in my PJs, some large Granny Smith apples on the counter and a mouth a little too sore to tackle raw apples motivated me to try some microwave baked apples. In less than five minutes prep time and two minutes cook time, a healthy, easy and tasty concoction was created! Hereās what […]
Have you already thrown yourself into Christmas planning or are you still savoring the beauty of autumn? I’m sharing a little November potpourri before I dive into the busyness of the holidays.

This recipe should probably feed six, but we both had two helpings and there is maybe leftovers for one more meal. […]
With 98% certainty, I can guess what hub is going to order when we are out and when French Dip Sandwiches are on the menu. He always orders it. He loves it. But.Ā That is a big cheat for him.Ā Not only is the roll an obvious problem, the au jus hides gluten in the […]
Juicy, ripe apples are one of my fall favorites. Here is the gluten-free apple crisp I made. Already a simple recipe, and it would be easy to sub regular flour if gluten is not a concern in your house. Apple crisp is easy to make, hard to mess up and can easily be adapted using […]
The time came to say goodbye to our kitchen bar stools.Ā It was another hard parting, much like the dining room we recently changed. Our old counter-height stools were the perfect height, the perfect foot rest, perfect match with the kitchen dining set. But. They were old. And apparently not made to last. The seat […]
I channeled my inner Mediterranean this week and whipped up some fresh tzatziki to go with some yummy pita and frozen falafel I picked up on my Trader Joeās run. DF Denisse (who really is of Greek descent and not just a poseur like I am) told me how easy it is to use up […]
