My obsession with Half Baked Harvest continues with another amazing recipe! My friend Jill had us over for dinner the other night, and I was on appetizer duty. I was bored of the simple cheese platter, and my other appetizers seemed to fall-flat, so I was on the search for something amazing. (Note: Jill is … More Antipasto Skewers
I love a good salty snack. Sweets are fine, but salt is really my thing. I’ve been craving a good snack mix- to go with cocktails or just to munch on- but all the store bought ones just didn’t do it for me. So, I searched my trusty website, The Smitten Kitchen for a recipe- … More Union Square Cafe’s Bar Nuts (with a twist!)
After being home and online for what seems like FOREVER we loaded up the RV and headed to one of our favorite camp spots- El Chorro Campground in San Luis Obispo.

I’m not sure about you, but some says snack-time has become our unofficial fourth meal. By 3:30pm the stomachs are growling and we want something that is salty and filing and – quite frankly- goes really well with an afternoon beer! (Yes, we are in that stage of quarantine!) Chrissy Teigen’s soft pretzel recipe seemed … More Soft Pretzels & Cheesy Dipping Sauce

Since it is healthy-ish and because Tay is such a picky eater, I usually give in and she fills her little belly with a smoothie and a cheddar tomato twist. If you have yet to try the Jamba … More Cheddar Tomato Twists
Another long, cold (the heater in my classroom doesn’t really work – I’m freezing every day!) week is finally done – and the weekend is beckoning! I am happy to announce that I have found the BEST at-home manicure/pedicure on the market! Sally Hansen Miracle Gel lasts so long, has amazing colors, and comes off … More TGIF- fun finds
Happy Friday! I am so thrilled it is finally February. This month is always one of my favorites- we have a four day weekend (President’s Day) and Tay’s birthday. Lots of celebrating going on here!! I finally have found the best dog backpack for our little dachshund! The Timbuktu MuttMover backpack is not only comfortable … More TGIF- fun finds
With my adventure into Chex Mix last week, I needed to get rid of all the leftover cereal in my pantry so I decided to try my hand making Reindeer Chow. What is this, you ask?? Well it’s basically Chex, peanut butter, chocolate, and powdered sugar that is mixed together to create the most addicting … More Reindeer Chow
My TA loves these little packages of Tex Mix snack mix that you can buy at Target. The other day she was eating one of them in my class, and I made the comment that I bet you could make a better version of them on your own. She looked at me and said, “ok, … More Tex Mex Chex Mix
