I’ve been learning so much about how to deal with life this week. This recipe for a Giant Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie (gluten, egg, and dairy free too!) is a great representation of said lesson. Let me explain… You can set out to do something all you’d like but always beĀ open to (and expect) set…

Italian Quinoa Bites
Oh Italian Quinoa Bites… How I love thee… What fun little appetizer bites these are! You might wanna make them for dinner, however. You won’t be able to get yourself to stop eating them.

Cracked Easter Egg Cupcakes
Remember those times as a kid when the year seemed to take forever to get through? Especially once Christmas passed, that period of waiting until Spring Break (which was of course the marking point that summer was just around the corner) seemed to drag on and on… No one tells you that as you get…
