I’m starting to see a pattern. Every fall I start to go a little bit crazy. School starts back up, and with school comes homework and trying to figure out how new teachers work and communicate. Piano lessons and dance classes get back under full swing. You find yourself saying yes to being the head […]

I know it’s not Friday, but we’re talking pie today anyways! (I’m impatient, what can I say?!?) Actually, I’m sharing a pie recipe with you today because I filmed it on Studio 5 today, and the episode goes live this morning! This pie was inspired by the Brown Bag Baked Peach Pie that I wrote […]

Happy Monday everyone!! As we transition from summer into fall, this is the perfect time to grab the last bits of summer fruits and vegetables and preserve them for fall and winter. I few years ago I “borrowed” my mom’s old food dehydrator (circa early 1980s) to use for something and then kept on using […]

It’s that time of year again when our kids are heading back to school. Good bye lazy days. Good bye sleeping in. But hey, I’m happy to be back on a schedule and have some time during the day when I have the house to myself to take back control of things. But when the […]

The Kyotofu bakery featured Nicole’s quirky approach to Japanese sweets and customers fell in love. In 2013 Nicole and Michael decided to close the restaurant so Nicole could focus […]

It’s Friday Pie-Day! Friday is turning into my favorite day of the week because, well, pie! Today’s pie isn’t actually a pie I have tasted, but it’s on my wish list.

I’ve recently had friends that live in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas, rubbing in my face the fact that they’ve got Hatch chile roastings all over the place where they live. Not fair! Thankfully I was alerted to the fact that I was not out of luck. Harmons Grocery, a local grocery chain here that […]
