Sometimes as I sit down to write, I’m met with the dreaded writer’s block. I stare at the vast, white screen before me with only the never-ending blink of the cursor awaiting my words. It’s that cursor, sitting… waiting, that makes it even harder for something to come to me. Today is one of those [...]

Nothing says summer like lighting up that grill in the backyard and cooking over the open flame. I love to grill my food, especially with this heat wave we’ve been having. The last thing I want to do is turn on my oven and make my house any hotter than it already is. I’m all [...]

Citrus Churros ~ #FirstOnTheFirst

June 1, 2012

During most of my high school years, I was awkward. Really awkward  I had gigantic, round glasses that made me look some sort of bug with large eyes. I was a complete dork. I wasn’t fashionable although in my own head, I thought my “patterned vests” look was pretty sweet. I had my small group [...]

The original muffins called for both dates and walnuts and truthfully, I’m just not fond of either. So if you love dates and walnuts, I’m so sorry to have disappointed you with their removal and [...]
