You have probably noticed that I am not much of a baker.  I tend to stick with creating vegetarian and vegan breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.  On occasion I will throw in a smoothie or a nut butter here or there, but desserts have never really happened...until now.  To be [...]

Guess what?  Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Years Eve are right around the corner.  Seriously, they will be both here before we know it!  When I think of the holidays I think of a lot of things, including family, friends, shopping, snow, decorations, and quite possibly and most importantly...food!  Let's face it.  The holidays in [...]

Today is Tuesday, and I am linking up with Becky's Treat Yourself Tuesday link-up in celebration of having attended my very first Friendsgiving this past Sunday night!  Becky is a firm believer in treating yourself well, and I definitely think I accomplished that this weekend.
