I love my American Apparel skirt. I wear it every other day. And besides an embarrassing story involving this skirt, no slip and too much wind…this skirt is perfect. Well, I was browsing online and found an almost identical free sewing pattern. I was so excited that I just had to drop everything and sew [...]

No-Knead Bread… Join the Craze

Good bread made fast. It sounds right up my alley. After reading people from angry chicken to the NY Times talk about no-knead bread for years, I decided to join the craze. I am not usually a bread person. Bread=sandwiches, in my mind. And I hate sandwiches. Still, I felt like a slice yesterday, [...]

I used this granola recipe from the NY Times. People were concerned that the recipe didn’t have any [...]

So this morning, I made a frittata. Nothing special, but worth the extra ten minutes to whip up something a little nicer than scrambled eggs. Plus leftover frittata makes a great lunch. I combined some partially defrosted veggies (broccilli and corn), cheese, milk (1/3 c) and 6 eggs. Ohh and garlic of course. — You [...]
Honey Vanilla Salt Scrub

The smell of vanilla is so comforting. Sweet goodness. Without smelling sweet at all. This homemade honey vanilla salt scrub has great fragrance, but it really exfoliates my skin. I think, it makes me glow. I made them as gifts for a bridal shower and now everyone is obsessed, so I thought I would share [...]
