So today is pretty special (and not just because it’s Friday). It’s PRETZEL DAY! To me, pretzels really mean…soft pretzels. Yum… A few years ago, I took a one-day German cooking class with a girlfriend of mine. We learned to make all sorts of German foods, most of which I forget now. The one thing…
Happy Autumn Equinox, everyone! Today marks the “official” start of fall in the Northern hemisphere, with exactly 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness, and it’s all downhill from there as far as daylight goes, LOL, until December 21st. I hear it’s the only day where you can balance a pumpkin on its…
Okay, so it’s a made-up holiday (sponsored by the National Confectioners Association), but what’s not to love about celebrating that iconic summer treat, toasted marshmallows?

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by. How did I do this week in my ROW80 author goals? Well, the lesson learned seems to be simplicity. Let’s take a look! My goals: 1. Post twice per week on my blog: a ROW80 check-in on Sundays, and an original post mid-week. During my blog tour, my…
Happy Wednesday! Hubby and I recently celebrated our anniversary. It was a nice, low-key evening at one of our favorite restaurants (I love Bonefish Grill). We played a short card game over drinks and appetizers, enjoyed food that I cannot cook skillfully at home, and overall had a relaxing evening over the glow of our LED table…
