As the temperatures have now dropped significantly, you have probably pulled out your heavier clothing. I have these two adorable gray cutout sweaters that I’m in love with! Cotton is great( don’t get me wrong) but winter calls for the layering of heavier fabrics. Like leather and wool. Later we can dive into some information about where your leather jackets come from. But we’re going to…
My Granny O was a spitfire up until the day we lost her a few summers ago. She was full of life and was more liable to chase you around the house with a broom or the cloth she’d been cleaning with if you’d done anything remotely naughty. She was a fighter. Granny O fought to care for her children during the depression era – and…
I think we got our first Christmas Advent Calendar two years ago. It was lovely. The Christmas Advent Calendar was cardboard with twenty-five little doors each covered in an ornate Christmas illustration. Inside, there was chocolate. However, as much as I love chocolate, I love Christmas experiences more. There are so many fun things to be enjoyed during December. Putting it on a list like this…
In all the hustle and bustle this time of year, it can seem impossible to remember to be grateful. But it’s necessary. In all honesty its pretty satisfying to be able to count your blessings when you make time. So today, I wanted to share with you what I am truly grateful for.
There’s a lot of pressure when cooking for family. I don’t think anyone understands that better than moms. In fact if the Bad Moms 2 trailer is any indication I feel they whole holiday season they turn into bigger superheroes than the rest of the year. There are so many dishes. Not only is there the main dish but also all of the sides. Plus desserts…
It’s officially turkey season! That’s right. In fact this week alone for Thanksgiving Americans will consume 46 million turkeys. If that isn’t a truly shocking figure, I don’t know what is. I’ve never had to officially buy a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner but in the past few weeks they’ve appeared in stores. Almost overnight a parade of frozen turkey birds began to line the shelves. I’m…
I have so many warm memories of Thanksgivings past. Today we’re going to discuss the 3 Step Green Bean Casserole Recipe that is part of so many of them. Growing up we traditionally did Christmas at home, but would travel for Thanksgiving. We typically would spend Thanksgiving day splitting time between both of my maternal grandparents in Carlsbad. Which meant A LOT of eating. For several…
It’s pretty common that whenever I’m discussing our food system that hormones are brought up. I’ve heard about the horrors of hormones. I’ve heard stories about hormones present in beef. The rumors regarding larger chicken breasts being due to the injection of hormones. Also, of course the whole ‘hormones in milk’ thing is typically thrown in. All of these assumptions are usually associated with earlier puberty…
Being a small business owner you probably do everything for your company. You may sweep your shop’s floors, be in charge of Human Resources and manage payroll. Chances are in addition to the actual mechanics you’re probably responsible for telling people about your products. Between print, radio, and digital it can certainly be overwhelming. Many small business owners also manage their own company’s social media. It can…
I don’t think that it’s any secret that I’m not an expert in the kitchen. I’m learning just like you are. Typically my family would let me make the stuffing, because that was something I couldn’t mess up. Or injure myself in making. In fact I finally helped with pies last year! I can’t be the only one that is finally a fully grown adult that…
