Happy Friday, everyone! I am actually just waking up (it’s nearly 10:00 am) and am still a little drowsy. I guess it’s to be expected after a food day like yesterday. I’m still stuffed! It was a lot of fun to read about everyone’s Christmas celebrations. Ours started early yesterday morning, when my brother forced […]
Lunch
Chocolate Covered Spaghetti
No, not really! But I’m beginning to think it may as well have been! Is it just me, or does sugar tolerance kick into overdrive this time of year? Every night I think, “There’s no way I could eat another piece of candy or chocolate tomorrow,” only to repeat the cycle the next day! I […]
BluBurgers + Baking Blossoms
Last night’s dinner was a burger lover’s dream. When I say that, I’m talking about ANY kind burger you can imagine (well, 7 to be exact).

Not So Secret Santa!
It’s easy for me to pick out the highlight of my Thursday. It occurred when I picked up the mail this afternoon and found a package – with my name on it! I ripped open the box and suddenly, my Secret Santa was not-so-secret anymore! The amazing and lovely Sarah from Our Kitchen Adventures was […]
Gingerbread Cheesecake
What do you think – do those two words belong together? I woke up a little late this morning, and since I had to take my brother to school, that meant breakfast would have to wait (since I like to sit and enjoy it rather than grab and go). I brought a mug of Coffee […]
It Looks A Lot Like “Rain”-deer!
It rained all. day. long. Crazy! The Valley of the Sun is currently taking a holiday hiatus. I hope it returns soon – I mean, I will be seeing plenty of cold weather once I get back to school! I want to start the post by answering some questions that came up recently from blog […]
