Daffodils
I picked these daffodils yesterday—they’ve just recently started blooming. They were growing by the side of the road, and I just had to pick some! I love the variety—some are bright yellow, some are soft yellow, and some are soft cream. My favorite, though, are the daffodils that have creamy petals with vivid orange centers.

Black Bean Hummus
When I was at the grocery store the other day, I saw some Black Bean Hummus. I hadn’t noticed that flavor before and it sounded really good! Instead of buying some, I decided to make my own.

Spring Colors
I love the colors in this photo I took of hydrangeas, my favorite flower! I thought I’d call out some of these colors and make a spring color palette! These would be great colors to decorate with…or even create artwork or crafts with. Hope you are enjoying the arrival of spring! 🙂

Pear Lime Kiwifruit Water
I thought I’d try a flavored water with a green theme, since St. Patrick’s Day is coming up! But of course, this water is great any time of the year. You mostly taste the lime in this, but the kiwifruit and pear slices make the pitcher of water look so nice! 🙂 I think this…

Banana Bread (Inspired by the Disneyland Hotel)
I was in a banana bread-making mood last weekend. And I just so happened to come across this recipe at Food.com, where they mentioned that this banana bread is served at the Disneyland Hotel. Not having ever stayed there myself, I hadn’t ever tasted their banana bread, but it sounded like a great recipe to try! After all, I’m…

Tropical Spinach Smoothie
In my last post, I shared a recipe I had made with OrganicGirl Super Greens, the Super Greens Fiesta Salad, and now I’ll be sharing a another recipe I made with OrganicGirl Baby Spinach, the Tropical Spinach Smoothie. This is a wonderful smoothie—it’s thick but not too thick. It’s sweet but not too sweet. It…

Super Greens Fiesta Salad and a Greens Giveaway!
The Giveaway is now closed. When I buy salad greens, I like buying organic. Last week, I had the chance to try some complimentary greens from OrganicGirl. This company specializes in making a variety of salad blends and greens that are all organic, triple washed, and packaged in 100% recycled plastic packaging, which I think…

A Listening Lord
Lord, when my soul is weary and my heart is tired and sore, and I have that failing feeling that I can’t take any more; then let me know the freshening found in simple, childlike prayer; when the kneeling soul knows surely that a listening Lord is there. –Ruth Bell Graham (1920-2007), from Ruth Bell…
