All of you that did not have the proper gear had an assignment to go out and buy yourself a descent sifter-a sifter that isn't plastic, wimpy, or has a half peeled sticker stuck on it for approximately 19 years. My basic plastic sifter model became a violent weapon with the ability to blind. This is an example of the shrapnel leftover after the "accident". Just to remind you...a heap of this was blasted at me. Now, … [Read more...]
Gearing Up For Avocado Pound Cake
There was something about this month that had me craving avocados. I found myself coming home from yoga--peeling them open and scooping out their green goodness. I even have proof that this was going on because I tweeted it. "I just finished yoga and then I attacked an avocado." 12:59 PM Mar 4th via web Then, later on that same day, say about 7 hours later, something of an avocado/twitter/matrix/phenomena happened and I saw this tweet: "i made avocado pound cake... lots of amazing. http://tinyurl.com/yjf5rqx" … [Read more...]

Ooey, Gooey Cinnamon Roll Recipe
Things were a bit tight for our family this past Christmas. I know we weren't the only ones pinching pennies to try and give our kids a Christmas. We were honest with the kids. "Don't be disappointed if your pile under the tree is small this year." We are small business owners. We own a home remodeling company and with the recession, not a lot of people were doing home beautification projects. But, our kids were so understanding and gracious. They said, "It's okay. We understand. You don't have to do much, BUT...it won't … [Read more...]
