I love rainy fall days like this one. I loaded up my library bag with books I had to return, put on my rain coat, grabbed my umbrella, and I was out the door. After strolling up to the library, dropping off some books in exchange for another pile of hygge books waiting for me,…
Hi there! So, this was my first attempt at vegan “meal prep” and I really like how it turned out. It was so nice to make everything at the beginning of the week and just have lunch/dinner prepared when we were ready to eat. We mostly enjoyed this for lunch, but there were a couple…
These easy, delicious, healthy overnight oats taste just like pumpkin pie! I love to find ways to enjoy all the yummy flavors of Fall without compromising my healthy way of eating. I’m not saying I never splurge, I definitely do, but I like to eat healthy 90% of the time, and there’s no reason it…
Hello Friends! We made our annual trek up to the north shore of Lake Superior again and it was so nice to get away. We were there for 5 days and it was a bit unusual because our daughter Gracie wasn’t with us this year. She is off on her own adventures now and has…
Hello! We got back from vacation a few days ago and I’m still trying to get back in the swing of things. Know how that is? We’ve also just started deep cleaning the house. Going through, room by room, donating stuff, selling other stuff, and trying to simplify. Does anyone else out there do their…
One of my favorite things to eat, prior to going vegan, was chicken salad. I was in love with the stuff. Especially for a summertime lunch. Nothing better! Well, after going vegan I knew I had to find a suitable substitute. I tried chickpea salad which is super delicious, but nothing at all like chicken…
I’ve bookmarked several Wall Drug recipes that I want to share with you. This one is an oldie, and a goodie. I should give you a heads up, they’re terribly addictive. Especially when they’re just out of the oven and cool enough to eat. Make sure you have more people than just yourself in the…
I’ve had this little Wall Drug Cafe recipe book for years. We visited Wall Drug in South Dakota when Grace was about two years old, so almost 20 years ago. I have been meaning to share this super easy, delicious recipe for beer bread for EVER. I can’t explain why it’s taken me so long.…
Can I just tell you how completely amazing and fabulous the Minnesota State Fair was this year? It was so much fun and such a great feeling to be in a crowd of people again. I didn’t realize how much I’d missed it until I experienced it again. I missed people! We had a beautiful…
I’ve had a craving for scones the last couple days. The tall, flaky, buttery kind I used to make every day at the tearoom. I haven’t attempted making them vegan until now, and they really did turn out great! So, roll up your sleeves, gather your ingredients, and put the kettle on. Time to make…
