After SRC last Monday, I’m back to posting the journal I kept while McGyver and I traveled 11 countries in 10 days on the Superglide (my other baby). It’s day 6 and it’s a big day, so I’m dividing it into two posts. If you haven’t been following along you can catch on our prep […]
Ever since I made {Family Fresh Cooking’s} Chinese 5-Spice Harvest Chili for Secret Recipe Club, I’ve been craving the 5-spice. It’s one the few spice mixes that I have in my cabinet because I mostly prefer to make my own (pumpkin pie spice is another one I purchase). I made the Harvest Chili with ground […]
This year I made a goal to work on my photography, this year I made a goal to learn a little bit about Photoshop. This year I’ve actually kept (a couple) of my goals that I made for myself. In keeping with my goals of working on my photography, I am participating in Black and […]
I was catching up on Facebook when I spotted these cookies from Whole Foods. They immediately spoke to me, I tried to ignore it but I failed. I thought about them for hours and hours. I finally gave in, I drove to the grocery store and bought the ingredients I was missing and whipped up […]

Are you making a big pot of chili? Maybe some pork chops or pinto beans? Head on over to Pig of the Month for my posting on the tastiest cornbread ever. I also would like to thank Taylor Takes a Taste for all the helpful photography tips and inspiration.
Have you ever had an idea just randomly pop into your head, and then wonder “why didn’t I ever think about that before”? It started with the purchase of rainbow colored peppers that I planned on dehydrating for up at the cabin this winter. They were so beautiful, that I changed my plans for them. […]
I remember when I was a child, my mom would always put out a bowl of ripe olives during the holidays. I would take the olives and place one on each of my fingers and for you smarty pants, my thumbs too. Then I’d eat them one at a time. My fingers were the perfect […]
My latest journal entry covered days four and five, I got a little caught up in the fun and had to combine a couple of days. Last week I covered day four, today we are at Day 5. If you are just now joining the journey, you can catch up on our prep days here […]
