I always used my Halloween costume choice as an excuse to exercise my quirkiness.

Don’t get me wrong, I had my fair share of traditional Halloweens dressed as Disney princesses (Ariel, always) and pumpkins; however, when I got a little older, I decided to “go hard” in the Halloween department.Read More

Apple Pie Stuffed Apples

I know I’m going to make some people angry with this statement, but I seriously dislike pie.

My aversion to this dessert is rooted in my total and complete hatred of crust. I know there are some die-hard crust fans out there that think it’s the best dang part of the dessert. And yes, I know there are some who believe the correct crust recipe can truly make or break a pie.

IMO, crust always breaks pie.

I might have just had some unfortunate run-ins with poorly-executed crusts, but, as of yet, I’m totally convinced that crust is always dry, crumbly, and tasteless.Read More

Banana Bread Granola

Call me crazy, but I love mornings.

My internal clock always goes off at 6 AM, so I almost always am up to an early start. If it’s a work day, I’m getting dressed, doing the whole makeup and hair thing, making Mark and me breakfast, and slowly easing into the inevitably crazy day ahead of me. Truth be told, I’m at my most productive in the mornings; therefore, I always try to pound out as much of my to-do list as possible before noon.Read More
