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…

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…
This is one of those recipes that I’d heard about for years and never trusted that it actually worked. I decided to give it a try when making my Easy Flag Cake for the 4th of July. Guess what? It works! I was amazed and delighted at how easy it is to throw a delicious,…

A London Fog is served with sugar and milk. Earl Grey tea is black tea scented/flavored with bergamot. The tea we’ve selected to…
What is an Elvis Sandwich? Here, Southern Living Magazine sheds more light on the history of the King’s favorite sandwich! I love it so much that I had to make a vegan version, and now you can too! This sandwich is creamy, salty, smoky, and sweet. The tofu bacon is chewy, and delicious and perfect.…
