So full of craft: DYI Magnetic Spice Rack

Ha ha get it? Because I said craft instead of... never mind.
Sorry, I have a soft spot for bad jokes and puns. Because life wouldn't be very... PUN without 'em. (yea what now)

Using squash to cope with winter

Have I ever mentioned how much I love squash? No? Well I do. Especially the acorn variety. Not only are they oh so very sweet but they make for a cheap and fancy looking dinner.

It all began with a book and a cookie...

It all began a little over two years ago. It was Christmas Eve and now husband, Mike, handed me a gift. I pulled back the paper to reveal a cook book. I was over-joyed and quickly began paging through. Drooling over every recipe. In awe that it was organized by season, and also included calorie counts (at the time I had been working on eating better). And while everything looked and sounded amazing one particular recipe caught my eye.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies... these words that changed my life forever.
