I was sitting on the couch after dinner thinking, “I really want a cookie right now,” and then true to their creepy nature, I instantly got an ad for these cranberry shortbread cookies. The ad worked of course, because I made them right then and there. It did help that I happened to have a…
Happy New Year!
Woohoo, we made it to 2021! I mean, things shouldn’t just magically get better now that the year changed, but somehow I feel like it has. A mental game. For example, Adam was supposed to start his grad program in MAY, and now after all these months, his first day is next Thursday! Even the…
12 Days of Giveaways
This year I decided to partake in the 12 days Of Giveaways from my small side business Fytz Clothing. Mostly I decided to do this because I have so many small items from when I first started out, and I need to clear them out for more space and new items. Actually a lot of…
Quick & Simple Shepherd’s Pie
The weather dropped a whole 5 degrees here in South California, which crazy enough, put my mind into winter mode. I find it pretty funny that now living in California for 4ish months, a single degree difference in the weather feels like so much more. It was 70 yesterday, 70! And I was like, nice, it’s cold enough to wear leggings! If…
Upcycled Flower Pots Pt.2
Whelp, I have done it again, this time using beets! I mentioned in my previous post – Upcycled Flower Pots, how I have an ever growing supply of large coffee tins. Me being me, always tries to find a way to use things more than once. This time around making these flower pots, I actually…
Retro Mustard Trumpet Skirt w. Pom Poms
Quite the mouthful to describe the skirt I just made over the weekend. I had the creative itch and managed to start and actually finish two whole projects this past weekend (pats self on back), and this skirt was one of them! I am so happy that I finally made something that I can actually…

Colorado Green Chili #2
If you have read my previous post – Colorado Green Chili, then you are aware that I am obsessed with finding the right recipe to mimic our favorite Colorado green chili, and let me tell you, it has NOT been easy. Yes, every recipe I have tried and written about always turn out delicious, but…
Upcycled Flower Pots
So when we lived in Colorado, we used to buy our coffee from Costco. Specifically, this kind called New Mexico Piñon Coffee. We quickly found out moving to California, that they do not sell this brand of coffee at our local Costco. 😭 We tried some new brands and disliked them so much we could…
Lemon Basil Lemonade
Along with several other herbs that I am growing in my tiny apartment, I have a lemon basil plant that was taking over the light from everyone else. In order for the other herbs to stay happy, I seriously needed to prune him back. Have you ever had lemon basil? It smells amazing, just as…
New Painting
I finished up this beauty semi-recently, and I LOVE how it turned out. I currently have it over my computer in my office right now as I type. The colors are just so soothing. I can’t decide if it looks like mountains or a desert, what do you think? I took this painting and featured…
Chipotle, Steak, & Broccoli Quiche
Clean out the fridge Friday = quiche time! Today’s quiche features a chipotle sauce base topped with a thin layer of tomato slices. Then I added sautéed onions and broccoli mixed with pepper jack cheese and sliced steak. To top it off, whisked eggs with a little bit of heavy cream. I love making quiche….
