When we moved into this house, we had one of those big builder’s grade mirrors in the upstairs bathroom. When we redid the bathroom a few years ago, the mirror came down. For some reason, it never got thrown away. Even when we had the dumpster for the kitchen remodel, it somehow stuck around. …
I spent a lot of time in the kitchen this weekend. I actually made six new recipes. All are lower carb, paleo-ish. One was a complete bombtastic fail, one was a tasty treat and the other four I haven’t actually tried yet, but I still have lots to say about them. The fail (and …

What I made this week will not fill your belly. It will feed a little piece of your soul, however. I’ve mentioned that I’m a Girl Scout Troop Leader for my daughter and 13 of her 9-10 year old friends. This week during our monthly meeting, we made birthday parties in a bag to donate …
