As a former vegetarian. I can say without a doubt that the hardest thing to give up was bacon. There is something about it… The aroma, the texture, and of course the people that are downright bacon obsessed and often bring it up in otherwise unrelated conversation (I’m... Read More

Squash. One of those foods that I never wanted to eat as a kid. Why? Even the name sounds weird! A lot of people still seem to shy away from it as an adult. Maybe there are too many other options out there, and you never really get around to trying it. Maybe you aren’t sure how to cook... Read More

I look outside my window and it is hard to tell where the sky ends and the earth begins. I could be talking about a postcard perfect view of a tropical sunset; the brilliant hues of the seeming to melt into the ocean, a palm tree breaking up the symmetry.

I keep telling myself, there is plenty of time for Christmas shopping, but we’re inching closer and closer to the holiday. The problem isn’t going out to shop, but simply not knowing what to buy people!
There are some people, like my dad, who are really hard to shop for. ... Read More

This week has been pretty bittersweet for me. I took a trip to Minneapolis and had the pleasure of spending lots of time with my family and friends- Unfortunately the circumstances which brought us together were not good. We lost a family member who we are all very close to. I went down... Read More

This is a very special and exciting time of the year. Well… sometimes. It’s the time of the year when the windows and grass are covered with frost, and the car doors start to get iced shut; requiring some grunting, expletives and finally relief when the door opens with a satisfying little...
