Sunday Brunch (broccoli + cheddar quiche)

  Living on the farm has been kind of fun–even though I have yet to do some real farm chores–but tomorrow will most likely be the day for that. I love waking up at 6am to the sounds of roosters crowing, a cow “mooing”, and a donkey braying. I look forward to looking out the […]

Bucket Lists and Good Friends

I’ve never had a bucket list, and I never thought of creating one. I like to live for the moment and let new experiences come as they do, not because I forced them to. In my short 20 years, I feel as though I have done more than some do in 50 years, and sometimes […]

When Life Hands You Lemons…

Troy and I have been faced with something inevitable, unfortunate, and just plain stressful. We are moving. We do not have a choice, we are not happy, and we have done nothing wrong. Life just happens that way sometimes, I guess. I have spent so much time in the past twenty years worrying about other […]

Tents, Beaches, and Horses

Ahoy there! I apologize for the lack of posting, my life has been a crazy whirlwind lately, and I am just now able to come up for a little air. With two upcoming weddings (ours, and Troy’s sister’s), starting school again in August, and working three part-time jobs, it is a wonder how a gal […]

Love (and cake) is in the air…

Because that’s what friends are for. Yeah, I know–remember when I told you how much I HATE cake? Well… Most of my week last week was spent making this cake (and cookie-pop favors) for my one of my childhood best friends. This wedding was a long time coming, with many hurdles and bumps along the […]

Tangy Bleu Cheese Dip

This is a simple recipe post. Soon I will have something slightly more interesting, however this dip is beyond dreamy and creamy. This is the most delectable bleu cheese dip I have ever eaten. It is sour, strong, and has the perfect texture. There is no chance I will be buying bleu cheese in a […]

Greek Chicken Burgers at the Farm

The weather around here has been beautiful. The birds are out, the sun is shining, and one of my favorite places to be in the summer is at my soon-to-be-in-law’s farm. I love the animals, the land, and just the feeling I get being there. The smell of fresh-cut grass and hay fill your senses […]

Chocolate Chip Cookies (not your grandma’s cookie!)

So sorry for the lack of posting the past two weeks. So much has been going on, and life has been speeding past. Summer seems to be in full bloom even though it should still be spring, and many trial and error happenings have been coming out of my kitchen. (Mostly error.) I attempted a […]

“Have your cake and eat it too…”

I really don’t believe we need days like Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, and the like, to show someone you care for them. We should let the ones we love know how we feel each and every day. Live each moment like it will be your last, and take chances, because “you miss all […]
