Recipe: Sugar Free Chocolate and Coconut Covered Toasted Almonds

It’s been 4 months now that I’ve been sugar free. I’m 25lbs down and feeling SO MUCH BETTER! No I didn’t start this diet to lose weight, I did start it because I felt like crap and my health was failing. In addition to sugar, I’ve given up other things like starch, some grains, glutinous foods, yeast,…

Tips for an Udderly Smooth Shave

Danielle Hatfield's Tips for an Udderly Smooth Shave

Is your shave smooth? Go ahead and check, I’ll wait. . . . (I’m talking to you guys out there too!) For years I’ve tried shave creams, soaps and body washes to get a silky shave, and without fail, nearly every product I used would require me to fall back on a lotion or baby…

Recipe : Vegan Summer Stew

  There is nothing that I love more than a healthy recipe that is made with fresh vegetables. I’m pretty sure that soups and stews are some of my favorite “create as you go” dishes that rarely go wrong. This recipe can be served as a meal of it’s own or you can drain the…

Creating a Content Strategy for your Blog

I remember when I first started my blog. I didn’t quite know what I wanted to do with it and what I ended up sharing was a smattering of what I found interesting on the web. Over the years I have learned so much, as we all have, about the importance of having a firm…

Increasing your MPG : A Lesson from Toyota

Toyota MPG Ad from Fortune Magazine

I recently came across an ad from Toyota in an issue of Fortune  magazine that made me rip it out and add it to my Blog Post folder.  The ad was sharing a story from Sergio Monserrate. Now I can honestly say that I am on the fence about whether or not he is a…

Daring to Disagree

Margaret Heffernan

I finally watched Margaret Heffernan’s Ted Talk today over lunch, ‘Dare to Disagree‘. [view interactive transcript here] Something from her talk struck me: “So how do organizations think? Well, for the most part, they don’t. And that isn’t because they don’t want to, it’s really because they can’t. And they can’t because the people inside of them are too afraid…

DIY: Jute Coasters using the Crochet Afghan Stitch

afghan stitch, tunisian stitch

Since I finished my last blanket a while back, I’ve been trying out new materials to crochet with besides yarn – this week it just so happens that I picked up jute.  It’s normally reserved for tying off presents and party invitations but, ever since I crocheted a jute coaster last year for my desk, I thought it would…

Sew Sexy: How to remove a cowl from a sweater

Though the before looks pretty – I can tell you that it did not lay so evenly when put on. I love the nautical stripes and thought that with a little help, this summer sweater (it is so soft!) would get a lot more milage if it lost the cowl. I’m no master at sewing…

Project Library : DIY Inspiration from Pinterest

Social Media

As I sit here this morning and process through the online maelstrom surrounding Jared Fogle, the grassroots social media/brand spokesperson from Subway, I see vicious comments and quips being posted at a dizzying rate…even from people that I thought wouldn’t be so quick to pick up a pitchfork and torch. There is something I want…

I can’t describe the joy this little fella has b I can’t describe the joy this little fella has brought to our lives. 😍

We sadly lost our sweet Charlie back in March to chronic kidney disease. We were heartbroken that our four legged friend of nearly 12 years finally crossed the rainbow bridge. 

Months later we had the opportunity to rescue Max. His mother had died and he needed a home...and we needed some hope for the future. 

Max is growing fast and his boundless energy and sweet snuggles have brought some much needed joy to our lives. 

He’s a #GermanShepherd / #TerrierMix and is not only fast but wicked smart. 

Even on the toughest day he makes it brighter. ❤️

Sipping @cafedumonde coffee out of my antique #NoritakeChina and #HandSewing some #AntiqueLace from @thebrandonpirece’s grandmother’s stash to mend a velvet cape is my #MindfulnessMeditation today. 

I am looking to add more #MindfulMoments to my 2021. Though I don’t have the complete set to my antique @noritakechina coffee cups - they bring me such joy every time I use them. (and I have no clue what the pattern is! help?!) 

#ThriftStoreFinds like this, that contribute to my #MindfulnessMeditation, are giving me hope for what the #NewYear can offer. ❤️
“As long as you keep secrets and suppress inform “As long as you keep secrets and suppress information, you are fundamentally at war with yourself…The critical issue is allowing yourself to know what you know. That takes an enormous amount of courage.”

- Bessel A. van der Kolk, @thebodykeepsthescore : Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

I’m close to finishing this amazing book. If you have suffered #trauma in your life I highly recommend #thebodykeepsthescore. It is helping me come to terms with my own trauma in so many ways. ❤️
Breakfast yesterday was #ShrimpAndGrits heaven! Breakfast yesterday was #ShrimpAndGrits  heaven! 

@TheBrandonPierce grilled #sriracha marinated shrimp and I brewed @cafedumonde #chickorycoffee and cooked @quaker old fashioned #grits with a pat or three of unsalted butter and @betterthanbouillon vegetable base. 

Most of the time we eat this dish out of a salad bowl. 🤤 The grits are slathered in butter,  @traderjoes sriracha sauce is drizzled over piled high shrimp, and grated black pepper #ToscanoCheese blankets the shrimp like snow. 

It’s one of my absolute favorite breakfast/brunch dishes! 

I tried something a little different with the plating - seeing as we had already eaten most of our #GrillDay portion of shrimp. 😬

I am still working on our #ChristmasBrunch menu... and I learned that this is a perfect portion size that helps us save room for ALL of our favorite holiday foods. 

What’s your favorite holiday dish?

I’ve enjoyed #HandSewing these @orange_bettie mini stockings to surprise some of our elderly relatives with treats on Christmas Day. 

If you love #sewing this is a great project to not only help you give a #handmade gift but it also makes quick work of the fabric you may already have stashed away.

Here’s a link to the pattern: http://orangebettie.com/2018/11/27/mini-christmas-stocking-in-3-sizes-free-sewing-pattern/

#HomaroCantu once said “When we think of classic #HomaroCantu once said “When we think of classic #AmericanDesserts, we tend to imagine apple pie and ice cream. However, the most classic American desert of all might be the #ChocolateChipCookie.”

I couldn’t agree more! I’ve been baking #ChocolateChipCookies to share for the last week now and it has become a much needed calming holiday ritual. 

I’ve upped the #ChocolateChips in my recipe to 3 cups and my chief taste tester @thebrandonpierce tells me it’s perfection. I hope y’all feel the same way. ❤️
I do love it when @thebrandonpierce makes breakfas I do love it when @thebrandonpierce makes breakfast. 😍

Make time this holiday season to share something that brings you joy. 

Whether it’s a #homemade goodie or locally bought gift. Give from your heart this holiday season and let the people who impact your life in a positive way know what they mean to you. 

Gratitude is a miraculous gift. ❤️
