Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I love decorating our home with fresh greenery and ornaments that we've collected over the years. I enjoy watching my daughter's facial expressions as she vividly explains to me why she needs to have another play kitchen from Santa but most importantly, I love how people come together and how the spirit of giving … [Read more...]
One thing I learned while taking the Social Fabric University Food Photography class was that in order to showcase your food, you need the proper props. That means having gorgeous and unique serving pieces that display your food in an appetizing way. Your food may taste good but it also needs to look good. As someone who likes to entertain, I need to make sure my … [Read more...]

In elementary school (don't ask what year, I'm not telling) I remember friendship bracelets being all the rage. We would raid our grandparent's embroidery thread and set off to make matching bracelets that showed we would be best friends forever! Of course best friends changed and moved away but while we were together, our friendship was tied (haha, pun intended) … [Read more...]
You’ve heard me complain about my weight many times. Usually it’s when I’m telling you about a new recipe that is low-fat or healthy. What I don’t tell you (and I’m not entirely sure why) is that I’m an avid runner and that’s one of the reasons I’m so self-critical about my weight.

As a kid, I thought I was cool if I could make a building out of Legos. I'd sort out my pieces by color and size and start building away. Boy, have Legos come a long was since then. Now you can buy kits to build everything from the Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter to the trash compactor in Toy Story 3. Imagine taking all that creativity and creating a theme park. … [Read more...]
