Not Quite Irish Sausage and Cabbage

I’m a member of the Kerrygold blogger program, and recently received a box of goodies to cook with. Each month they give us a challenge, and the most recent challenge was to “Bring the Taste of Ireland to Your Kitchen.” I went back and forth on what I wanted to do, then settled on a […]

Noodles made from fresh zucchini with roasted mushrooms, fresh veggies, and a light broth? A total win with the Fujilings. Even better? Squirrel helped make dinner! I recently teamed up with the Kids Cook Monday initiative as an ambassador. This initiative encourages families to set aside the first night of every week for cooking and […]

What could be better than a weekend celebrating chocolate and cheese? This past weekend there was a 2 day long Chocolate & Cheese Festival at the Natural History Museum of Utah. The festival featured some of the best local producers of cheese and chocolate, as well as some out-of-town guests, with demos, workshops, tastings, and other […]

I spent last weekend laughing my guts out, learning, making new friends, meeting old friends for the first time, and being inspired. Taste of Home magazine sponsored me to go to Build Your Blog Conference (BYBC) in Salt Lake City, UT.

I have to admit that I shied away from the chia trend for a long time because I couldn’t think or say the word chia without the old 80s jingle of childhood running through my head. “Ch-ch-ch-chia!!” That combined with the disturbing visual of a clay head with green sprouts growing out of its scalp […]

Happy 2015 everyone! I must say that I’m happy to greet the New Year and shoo out the old. The end of 2014 about did me in. The Sunday before Christmas the flu hit me like a wrecking ball, and I’ve been in bed ever since. Have you heard about the mutating influenza strains? Yeah, […]

*I hope you’ll join me in participating in 24 Days of Giving—one simple way each day, from December 1st through the 24th, to do an act of service for someone else.
