Farmers Market #2

I mentioned earlier this week that we checked out a small local farmers market.  We got a few items there, knowing that we were planning to try out the big one downtown on the weekend.  Since our co-op was taking a week off, we really have used this week to venture out.  It’s been super […]

Hoping For Green

I desperately want a green thumb. It’s one of those things that I know I don’t have, and keep trying to get. When I was a kid we had a small vegetable garden.  It was small, and I’m pretty sure we didn’t get much out of it…I’m thinking there was a lettuce or something.  Ever […]

Smiley Face

This is what I came home to tonight… The past few weeks have been rough, but coming home to a yummy drink and a card full of encouraging words makes me smile Life has been hitting me so hard lately.  In the past few weeks I’ve literally turned my career plans around 180degrees.  It’s scary. […]

Tarts de Pop

If there is one guilty food pleasure in my life, it’s a pop -tart.   I take my pop-tarts un-toastered, as I believe the toaster destroys all of the buttery deliciousness of the crust, and honestly, there is no way I can hold off 30 seconds to a minute for the filling to cool (there […]

Weekly Bounty – Coconut?!

One of these things is not like the other…can you guess which one? Yes, I added my delicious coffee drink into the photo today.  Mainly because I’m a little disappointed with my basket this week…but my drink made me feel better. I’m a little disappointed because the baskets were SO small today.  What’s with that? […]

Favourite Things

I’ve had an urge to do another one of these posts.  Lately I’ve been loving quite a few *New* things. #1 The Sookie Stackhouse books I never thought this would be my thing.  Yet, every night I’m mentally strapped to Sookie and all of her ridiculous shananigans.  These books prove once and for all that […]

Reader Questions

So one of my readers had a few additional questions after my Food post the other day.  Instead of just giving her the answers I realized it would probbaly make a good post of it’s own.  I’m sure there are others out there who have similar questions, so hopefully this will help you out! Do […]

5000 Questions Part 12

It’s been awhile since I did one of these! 276. Does fashion matter to you? It does, kind of.  I don’t think I have the best fashion sense…but I don’t want to be completely off the charts either. 277. Should politicians be held to the same legal standards as everyone else? Absolutely. 278. What do […]

Fay Eatery

Would it freak you out if I told you that we spend less than $40 per week on household food?  Some weeks it’s even under $30. This fact is a huge contributor to how we are able to save so much moolah. Our household eating hasn’t always been this affordable.  Back a few years ago […]

Apple Cinna-Rolls

I woke up this morning at 7:00AM.  It’s Sunday.  Actually, I woke up at 6:50AM because my alarm clock was auto set for 7:00 and it’s 10 minutes fast.  I’m one of those people that has a hard time going back to sleep after I’ve woken up.  So accidentally, here I am, awake, while I […]
