Look what I made! After going to Michael’s three times, buying two hot glue guns, and tons and tons of bottles of wine- my cork wreath!! I haven’t crafted in such a long time, it’s nice to actually make something I’m proud of. I made mine using instructions found from WineIntro.com, except I didn’t need … Continue reading
I love this chili. And so do my friends and family. I’ve made this chili several times and people have raved about it. What makes it so special? I’d have to say the spices- cocoa powder and cinnamon. Plus this is a fairly healthy recipe- mainly ground turkey, tomatoes, and beans. Oh and the … Continue reading
The beginning of August we moved up in the world and left our tiny one bedroom apartment and traded it in for an actual house with a backyard. We’re still only renting, but we’re just so excited to have room to spread out. The front lawn when we moved in was yellow, it looked more … Continue reading
To be honest I’m not really a sweets person. Not that I won’t turn dessert down, I just don’t bake a lot of them. Most of the time dessert for me is just a scoop of ice cream and I’m content. But last night i just felt like baking. I think it’s because I’m so … Continue reading
I absolutely love salmon, but on my budget, I can’t really afford it. So one hot summer day, it just felt like a fish day. Well I found a deal at Safeway for a pound of salmon for $5. We were set. But when we tasted it, it was dry, fishy, and just not good. … Continue reading

We can’t wait til we get a garden of our own going, but it’s just so exciting to go through the box and seeing what goodies he brought home. We’ve gotten squash, zucchini, … Continue reading
This corn salad is a perfect summer party side dish. First, it can sit out for a while. It’s served room temperature and there’s nothing that needs to stay hot or cold (like mayonnaise or dairy). Second, you can make a big batch that people can serve themselves from, instead of something like a roll … Continue reading
Ah beer. A college student’s best friend. If you haven’t noticed, we’re beer fans in our house. It may be that we’re college students who are fortunate to not only live so close to the Sierra Nevada Brewery, but also have some of the cheapest drink specials around. We can get pitchers of Sierra Nevada … Continue reading
Ah breakfast, my favorite meal of the day. Lately I’ve been trying to work on my diet. I’ve been trying to cut carbs as much as possible, but I’ll never be able to let go of them. Just trying to eat less of them. Sometimes breakfast is hard because I want toast or a burrito. … Continue reading
Well it was the June full moon on Monday so Matt and I headed out to the Kings River for some moonlight rafting. We had an interesting group of some of my family, some of Matt’s family, and a few of Matt’s friends. We brought our large raft, two inflatable kayaks, our rafting gear, our … Continue reading
