Baked Chocolate Chip Oatmeal

I kind of feel like I’m going back to school. I saw the school buses this morning as kids return to school. I instantly felt like I was in school and got that sick feeling in my stomach even though I’ve been out of school for years. Does that happen to you? Even though I’m not actually going back to school, I’m getting back to blogging. As you may or may not have noticed, I unintentionally took the summer off from blogging. I thought these chocolate chip oatmeal treats would be a great way to get back into the swing …

Soft Pretzels

Homemade soft pretzels are awesome. Do you remember that I originally shared this recipe for soft pretzels back in 2014? I love them so much that I’m sharing them again. Yes, they are really worth highlighting again. Plus, I get to share the latest and greatest photos with you because my photography style has definitely changed in six years. However, this recipe has not changed because it’s still as great as it was back then. I want to give a big thank you to my husband because he made these pretzels. He’ll be the first to admit that these pretzels …

Did you see the solar eclipse last week? My husband and I traveled to Nebraska with my father-in-law and his wife to be right near the centerline of the path of the eclipse’s totality (the part where the sun appears to be completely covered by the moon). We picked a spot near some corn fields (check it out in satellite view mode to see how much corn we were in the middle of), set up our camera and telescope, and busted out our fancy cardboard solar glasses. As the eclipse started there weren’t really a lot of obvious differences in, well, …

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Energy Bars

There are labels for food and labels for people that eat certain foods. I’m not sure I like labels much. I have been fascinated with vegan food lately, but as I’ve told you before I don’t have any intention of becoming a vegan. Even not being a vegan, I found that I actually felt a little guilty the other day when I had a cheese and egg sandwich. That’s sort of weird. I felt like I was cheating by eating non-vegan food. That got me thinking about all of the various food labels and got me wondering how I would label …

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites

I get choked up when NYC counts down the last 10 seconds of the year before the ball drops. Does anyone else get emotional when that happens? (Assuming you also watch it or something similar.) Maybe you can’t go by me because I cry at the same sad scene in a movie even if I’ve seen it a bazillion times. My new year’s resolution is to lose a few pounds, again. I seem to have that resolution about 10 or 30 times during the entire year so I’m not sure if that’s truly a resolution except that it happens to …
