I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. I can’t really articulate it super well, so let’s try bullet points, shall we? :: True Love. It’s a crazy hard thing to live out. I sometimes feel like love shouldn’t feel like a sacrifice. Like it’s hypocritical to say I love someone when it takes every [...] Weekend. Week. Month. Well, honestly, several months. Sigh. It’s crazy how life hits, you know? Sometimes it just feels like you can’t get out of the streak of “bad luck”. We had a string of illnesses back in June to early July. Then I got in a car accident. Then our basement flooded. Then we [...] I’m a meal planner. I wasn’t always one, but now I can’t imagine living without my meal plans. It makes weeknights so much less stressful when I know all my ingredients will be waiting for me in the kitchen. It means I go shopping once a week instead of running to and fro trying to [...] Pumpkin Bread is a tradition in the Meadows Family. We had it every year growing up. I can remember watching my mom pour the batter into the little loaf tray and just waiting for that first warm slice to come out of the oven. I don’t really know where the recipe came from, but my [...] It’s that time of year–Pumpkin Time! And I loooove it! I may not like pumpkin pies (I know, I’m certifiable!), but I do love most everything else that is pumpkin inspired: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin candles, pumpkin bread and muffins, pumpkin seeds, and good-ole-plain pumpkins! I adore the little ones sitting around my house, reminding [...] I’ve been wanting to get into knitting hats for awhile. I know how to knit, but never really expanded my skills beyond the basic scarf. My fabulous grandmother-in-law helped me get over my fears with knitting hats and it’s rocked my world. No more safe knitting projects for me, I’m hooked on hats! My first [...] I love Cooking Light! I know I’ve mentioned recipes from there before, but I gotta say it again–they are just great. I’m always inspired to try using new ingredients or to learn new ways of preparing food. For instance, until this week I had never cooked with Pomegranates. I’ve been missing out! This sauce was [...] It seems like you can find fabulous bird prints everywhere these days. I’m not sure why, but I am really attracted to all the modern, graphic bird prints. Even Joann’s has jumped on the bandwagon! Their fabric isn’t usually anything special, but the other day I found some fabric that made me really excited. Yes, [...] Some days are just really good days, you know? On those days it is easy to be thankful. Then there are other days that are just, well, blah. They aren’t fantastic and they aren’t terrible, they are just…there. It’s those days that you’ve got to really work to be thankful. Not because really hard things [...] If you love enchiladas and you’ve never made your own enchilada sauce, you really need to. It is sooooo much better than canned sauce. It’s actually really easy (once you have all the right ingredients, I had to go on a hunt looking for the right kind of dried chile pepper). You can make a [...] |
