Ten days is not enough to offset thirteen weeks of separation. You would think someone high up on the food chain in the Marine Corps would know this. But since they are very "traditionally" set, odds are it's been that way since the beginning and will be until kingdom come. Clark's ten days home had been filled with endless errands and things to...

Happy Monday! I made these muffins for the same event I made the Strawberry Cream Cheese Scones. I was blessed to have a few leftovers, since this recipe made a few more. Mr. Michael was very pleased, too, since he absolutely loved them. It's basically chocolate covered strawberries in muffins. Who wouldn't love that? Ingredients: - 1.25 C unbleached, all-purpose flour - 1/2...

TGIF!!! Favorite picture of me and the little man from this past week :). I am so thankful it's Friday. I must admit this past week is a bit of a blur. I felt like I was constantly running on empty. Now, don't get me wrong, it really was a good week (for the most part). Michael and I are really getting a...

I love when people are completely amazed at something you make. Scones always seem to be one of those things. It is automatically assumed that they are difficult and time consuming. I used to believe this myth. But that's just it-- it's a myth! I am addicted to scones. And now that I can make them... oh, it's a dangerous combination. I made...

Print out comes from eighteen25.com. Happy Valentine's Day! I find it mildly humorous that I had dozens of posts for this holiday planned out in my head and only ended up posting two (including this one). Ah, well. Life tends to be busier than planned-- always. Hubby and I celebrated this wonderful holiday a bit early. Today Michael and I are taking it...

Clark is home and that means our healthy eating takes a vacation. No. Not really. But it does mean that we make a few acceptions so he can enjoy some homecooked foods and desserts he loves. This time around he requested Molasses Cookies. A recipe I realized I hadn't shared, because I hadn't made them since before I started the blog. Which, at...

I'm alive! Sorry for week and some change of not blogging. Every now and then you fall behind, or need a break, of both. Michael and I have still been on our journey of 100 days of real food. I must admit that we've had on and off days. Some switches are so easy and others are ridiculously hard. Of course, Michael doesn't...
