    Sunday Dinner

    One of the perks of having several roommates {this is how I refer to living at home} is that I get to cook for more than one person! Having lived at home for nearly a year now … wow the time flies … I’ve forced the family to try several new foods and most have…

    Things that make me happy….

    I spent the summer doing things that made me happy – drinking wine, walking on the beach, taking pictures… and eating bagels. One might even call it the summer of bagels. The last Friday before I went back to work we made homemade pizza and had smores by the firepit. It was awesome. How can…

    My afternoon snack

    In the past few months, I’ve become a fan Greek yogurt. I love it. I’m a novice – so I’ll eat just about any kind … but its fabulous. The other day I saw this delicious recipe in Women’s Health mag for a yogurt parfait. I can’t find the recipe online … otherwise I’d share…
