Living Simple Naturally
I am a big fan of chickpeas, but when I first had them they tasted just like chalk to me. Overtime I acquired a taste for them and now I love them. On the other hand Josh can’t stand them, so when he actually asked for seconds I knew these were a hit. I did…
I shouldn’t be complaining about cold weather; the mid-west and east coast or freezing right now. But it is cold!!! I feel bad that we are enjoying these wonderful temps, but when summer comes it will be Death Valley and I am not looking forward to it. When the temps get low, I love to…
Can I tell you something? I have not been on my best behavior when it comes to my diet during the holiday season. It all started with Halloween and I just couldn’t put down the cookies or candy after that. I must admit with all the savory and sweet treats. I did over indulge…
I wanted to call them scones, but Josh kept telling me he wanted more cranberry biscuits and after a while the name just stuck with me. Scones sound much better than biscuits do, and in most cases they are made the same way. I know many will argue this fact with me, so whatever you…

I like to go to one, but not both. I made a big batch of truffles for the potluck, and should have made another batch to photograph because…
The end of the year is approaching and I am actually looking forward to 2014. I am going to start doing more how to tutorials and start showing you other fun projects. My passion will always be cooking but I like to do other things as well. Lately I have been enjoying infusing oils with…
Christmas baking has been put on hold! The Baking element in the oven went out as soon as the cookies went in! Now were stove top bound until the part gets here. Christmas is around the corner so I am hoping the part shows up soon. Josh on the other hand has been complaining about…
Do you buy Pine Cones? I don’t anymore! Josh decided to take me to find pine cones to pick…… He thought I was crazy for wanting to pay 6.99 for a bag of pine cones. The infamous blue bucket was missing so we ended up taking a different one with us. We went hunting…
