What I Ate in Banff National Park
My boyfriend and I took a last minute trip up into the Canadian Rocky Mountains and enjoyed the first official day of summer taking in the fresh air, breathtaking sights and enjoying some quality time together.

San Diego 2013 Part 1
Two weeks ago, I took a spontaneous trip to San Diego with a friend of mine, Edith. Our trip was full of wonderful food, new exciting adventures and sun burns. Oh man, the sun burns. I think both of us are still feeling the effects from the burns. First of all, our hotel was insane!…
Easter 2013 Recap
Water, water everywhere….. Except for my house, that is. Lucky us. The water line that runs across our front yard has burst a total of 3 times this winter, usually landing on a holiday when one needs to do some cooking. It burst on Thanksgiving and they shut the water off and royally screwed…
Oh Hi There Friends….
Life has been busy lately! I must apologize for the lack of attention my blog has received. I haven’t done much baking or cooking, so enjoy a little peak into my life instead. I stopped to get gas on Halloween and the lady there was dressed as a pickle. It was AWESOME! I took a…
