As a Christmas gift, my family was gifted with a bread maker this year. I love this for many reasons! As someone with a soy allergy, it is hard to find bread from the stores that are not processed with it. I would rely on fresh bread from bakeries or make it from scratch when we needed it. Therefore, this is really a wonderful gift idea. It saves money and time.

I have had a lot of people ask me how to make these in the last little while so I thought I would share how to do this and a little about why I make these holiday ornaments.

My husband convinced me to try a cast-iron recipe with no cheese or che ..read more

WELCOME I have never written a blog before (but have been in the writing industry for over 10 years), so this is all new to me, but this is a space where I’d like to share a part of what makes me happy and what makes me, me. On that note, what does one decide to write about and begin this journey? I am not sure, but I wanted to start a food blog to cover a variety of topics about all the things I love including: food, cooking, baking, food styling and food photography. This idea has been in the works for some time for me but I wasn’t sure where to start so I just decided today I’d give it a g ..read more
