Cozy Bedroom for the Holidays

Tina3 Comments

Good morning!  I’m doing all sorts of different things today.  For one, I’m posting on a Saturday which I don’t normally do.  Last week was hectic at work (my day job) and everything totally got away from me so I wasn’t able to post anything. Second, for the first time I’m sharing photos of my bedroom with you.  I think my bedroom is an intimate and personal space so I wasn’t comfortable putting photos out there for the world to see.  Plus I’m still decorating the room and it’s not really complete yet.  You’d think we just moved into this …

Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup (Redux)

Tina0 Comments

It’s not easy being green. It’s also not easy taking pictures of green things, but here I am taking photos of a pea soup… again.  This recipe was one of my first ever posts back in March 2013.  How has it been almost four years that I’ve had this blog?!  Crazy talk. In the past I’ve re-posted recipes by highlighting them in my Best Ever series or if I came up with a way to improve the recipe.  Today is a little different.  I’m posting this recipe again because… well, because I want to.  🙂  In all seriousness, it’s because this …

Chocolate Pound Cake

Chocolate seems to be left behind at Thanksgiving time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about eating pies.  I love pies, but I thought I’d bake a chocolate dessert to make sure that we don’t forget about our beloved.  😉  How does chocolate pound cake sound to you? Picture a pound cake with a chocolate twist or a chocolate cake that’s more dense.  Either way you look at it, you’ve got something seriously delicious going on. The thing that I love about pounds cakes (besides the fact that they are tasty) is that you can serve it in a bazillion …

Hummus and Pasta

Tina0 Comments

Hummus with pasta because why not? Guys, this hummus is seriously the easiest and tastiest recipe that ever existed.  Ever.  Without fail, it always comes out delicious and it’s always a crowd pleaser.  I’ve made it so many times over the past several years that I could probably make it in my sleep.  In fact, I’ve made it twice in the past month.  It’s definitely my go-to appetizer dip.  If you’re looking for one  (and you haven’t seen my hummus recipe) then you’ve got a bonus recipe today.  🙂 I usually don’t have hummus leftovers and if I do it’s …

Lazy Morning Essentials

Tina0 Comments

There is something comforting about waking up on a crisp Fall morning knowing that you don’t have any plans.  If I don’t have to rush anywhere, I love cozying up on the couch with a blanket and hot cup of coffee. Here are a few of my favorite things that I enjoy on these lazy Fall mornings: Pajamas.  Cozy pajamas are a must-have this time of the year.  Of all the ones that I have, I love the pajamas from Old Navy the best.  They have a great selection and you can’t beat the prices.  I do recommend buying early in the season …
