Cajun Cookin’ with Tif
Today, I’ve got a delicious Southern treat for you straight from Tif who blogs at Ramblings of a Southern Belle. Tif has been hanging out on my sidebar for the past month and she’s also contributing a $20 Amazon or Starbucks gift card for our February Sponsor Giveaway! (If you haven’t entered, you’ve got less […]
Oh, Honey… Nuts
Every time I’m gearing up for another care package, John asks me to send him more nut mixes. I promise this will be the last roasted nut mix recipe for awhile! I wanted to post this one so in a few days when I publish my next care package, you’ll have the recipes for everything […]
Are You in School?
It sounds so lame, but when I was in college, buying textbooks online was almost unheard of. I remember talking to my sister about buying off Amazon. She thought it was a great idea. I was skeptical at best. And renting textbooks from a brick-and-mortar store? No one did that. (Geez, I feel like I […]
How to Make a Valentine’s Date Box for Your Long Distance Love
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Today has been a pretty tough day– not because John’s gone, but because my students were so hyped up on sugar that they were almost literally bouncing off the walls. Add to that numerous enormous stuffed bears, Macy’s-Parade-sized balloons, and gigantic sweets, and you can understand the difficulties of my day. […]
Cuckoo for Cocoa Roasted Walnuts!
I’m currently working on goodies for a box for John, and I have I got an original, healthy recipe for you! (And it’s really simple too, which is always a bonus!) You’ll Need… 1/4 cup honey for a thin glaze (If you want a thicker, candy-like glaze, use 1/2 cup) 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder […]
Crackers for Crackers!
Every once and a while, Pinterest makes me want to be super, duper healthy. Usually, I like to ignore how many chemicals and preservatives are in my food, but dang it, Pinterest– you always show a perfectly-timed pin of a horrifying statistic or thought about how my food is slowly killing me. Not that I […]
The Cookie to My Heart!
It will probably come as no surprise to you that I love cherries (which I professed in this post) and I love chocolate (which I’ve professed in way too many posts to count). John and I are trying valiantly to get and stay healthy for the wedding. I absolutely refuse to diet without being able […]
Crossing off Delicious #57
Two nights ago, I tried my hand at making candy! Usually I stay away from trying to make it (eating it is easier!). I wanted to make my own caramels, not only because it’s on my 100 in 365 list, but because now I will have a never-ending supply of caramel at my beck and […]
Fail Box
I’m an exceptionally detail-oriented person. Little things that are out of place bug me. I’m not clinically OCD, but I’m probably just a shade away from it. For example: I’m having a difficult time picking wedding invitations because it bothers me that the font of our Save the Dates and the wedding invitations won’t […]
What the F?
There have been so many times throughout this deployment that I’ve felt like I’ve completely hit a wall. It’s not that I want to give up or throw in the towel– that’s not, and never will be, an option. But it’s just a tiredness, such an emotional exhaustion that makes everything seem unconquerable. When John […]
