Time for another food confession, I don’t like chocolate. I don’t hate it, I can eat it and I especially like it when combined with nuts or other flavors like chili. I can’t remember the last time I had a chocolate chip cookie and rarely if I make a chocolate cupcake, I easily resist tasting [...]

All too often in my life, my dad was walked up to me, grabbed my skinny, lanky arm and said some form of: You couldn’t to a pull up if your life depended on it or You couldn’t do a pull up if a million dollars was on the line. I’m a little to proud [...]
Here’s my mom, me and my sister over Christmas in Austin. No there’s nothing on your screen, we decided to have a bit of fun and wear bendis we got at Tesoro’s (just my favorite store ever). This is Liz’s freshman year and if it’s possible to ride your little sister’s coat tails, I’m doing [...]

I was not an early adopter to Facebook. I’ve had my account almost two years and at first I had a small group of contacts and now my contact list has really grown. I’ve got the usual FB suspects including high school friends, college contacts, adult hood friends and family.
I love having my family on [...]
Typically when I think of myself and food, I think I’m pretty open to a lot of different flavors and textures. In reality, I know I have quite a few food quarks. I’m a texture eater rarely will you ever find me dipping my bread in gravy (soggy) and I’d never ever never order tres [...]

Have you heard of Christmas in July? I think that sums it up. It’s a Christmas themed party in July. I thought it would be a great way to welcome my new Alaskan roomies.
Don’t let these polished looks fool you people! We busted our booties in the kitchen all day cranking out some serious cake. [...]
You’d think that after a year of attempting to be crafty, the excitement would settle, but it hasn’t. I swear, I make the simplest, by the number projects, but each one makes me feel so amazingly excited. I found this article form crafter Cathy of California on making mod podged paper broaches.
My intention when I [...]
