Isn’t it interesting how there are times when you want the most unexpected thing at an unexpected time? This week in New Jersey, the weather felt like it was July or August; hazy, hot, and humid. It was the type of weather when you would walk outside and you would be sweating within five minutes… Continue reading Cravings

Whirlpools
This morning while stirring my almond milk into my coffee, a small whirlpool started. My mind immediately went back to my childhood and our neighbor who was the only house on the block with a pool. Although they were our neighbors and good friends, we were never allowed to just walk over and go in… Continue reading Whirlpools
It is Good
After a whirlwind of a week last week {cough, cough, I released a book!} I returned to my kitchen this week and started on my next project and tested some new recipes. I had a new apron that arrived this week and I was curious to try it out. Before I go on, yes, it’s… Continue reading It is Good
Walking through the Door…Big News!
If you have been following this blog for some time now, you know I love to cook and love to discover and share the bond between my food and the Bible. If you are new here, I usually refer to the kitchen (it doesn’t even have to be mine) as ‘my happy place’. I love… Continue reading Walking through the Door…Big News!
Beautifully Broken
On Wednesday’s I attend a Bible Study at my local church. It is a small group of ladies from all different walks of faith and life. I usually toss a small snack in my bag to munch on during the session. This week, I grabbed a banana, which was just the way I like it,… Continue reading Beautifully Broken
Trying Something New

This was something I had never attempted before. However, I knew it was something I wanted to become familiar with since so many of my friends and their children… Continue reading Trying Something New
Crumbs
Growing up, all of our meals were shared around our kitchen table. We didn’t have a dining room, fancy china, or crystal glasses, but my mom always had a tablecloth on our table. It was most likely to absorb any spills which occurred from having three active girls. It also protected the table from the… Continue reading Crumbs
Sleep, Creep, or Leap Seasons
Yesterday while out for a morning run on a local trail, I noticed the new life beginning to sprout up from the ground and on the trees. The oak trees all have small buds on the tips of their branches, the rhododendrons are forming their buds which will open to colorful flowers in a couple… Continue reading Sleep, Creep, or Leap Seasons
Peanut Butter & Jelly Joy
This week I spent a lot of time in my kitchen (aka - my happy place), testing some new recipes for an upcoming project to be released in the next 2-3 weeks. I was fine-tuning the seasoning in a batch of 13-bean chili, testing a new brownie recipe (epic fail), brewing a batch of hibiscus… Continue reading Peanut Butter & Jelly Joy
Walking through the Door
Recently I have been struggling with how God wants me to bring my love of cooking and my faith together. It has been something I have been the focus of my prayers and conversations with my sister, but I didn't have any answers. If you have been following me, you know I am passionate about… Continue reading Walking through the Door
