It's getting really close to Christmas, y'all. Every Monday during the month of December I take a minute to gather my thoughts. What Christmas presents do I have left to buy? When should I start shopping for Christmas dinner? What all needs to be cleaned before family comes down? That list is getting shorter and… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Scones

It's one of those days where I had to drag myself out of bed. I'm not feeling great, and snoozing my alarm four times didn't help matters much at all. I'm trying to get this coffee to perk me up now so I can go on about my day with a clear mind. Here's hoping… Continue reading Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
