So Corny

If there’s one thing I love, it’s corn salads.  My favorite thus far is definitely this recipe for Corn and Black Bean Salad.  But recently I found two new recipes I wanted to try out.  The first is this recipe for Corn and Blueberry Salad.  I know….weird combo!  But this was DELICIOUS.  (I omitted the [...]

Bloggiversary Contest!

 Let’s just hope when I have kids and a husband, I don’t treat them the way I treat my blog.    I totally missed my 2 year Bloggiversary!  I cannot believe it has been 2 years since I started my blog (okay….2 years and one month now).  I wanted to share with you all just [...]

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Although I have a definite BLACK thumb, one thing I’ve managed to keep alive is the little herbs my mom gave me: This cute little pot contains parsley, chives,and basil. The basil is doing REALLY well! And I knew right away just what I would pair it with (based loosely on this recipe): Funny thing [...]

What I’ve Read

One of the things I like best about vacations is being able to read books.  I actually really love to read WHEN I do it….I don’t know why I don’t do it more often? So on the 15 hour drive to Hilton Head, I started with Bethenny Frankel’s "Naturally Thin."  I got this book mostly [...]

Still Here!

I’m finally back for part 2 of my recap!  I have to apologize for taking such a long break, and I know I haven’t been keeping up with your blogs, too.    Things have been pretty crazy (a good crazy), and I just kind of wanted to take a break for a little bit.  I [...]
