Thankful

Cranberry-Pecan Granola
I’m a big fan of homemade granola, and whenever I make it, I often share a bag of it with my friend Brady, who is just as much a homemade granola fan as I am! Since Brady is away at school now, I sent him some in a “Care Package” my friend Ann and I…

Maple-Peach Muffins
Peach season came and went so fast I didn’t get a chance to bake any recipes with fresh peaches! But I still wanted to bake something with a peachy flavor. I thought one of the complimentary Fruit & Maple Spreads I received from Polaner® would be a great thing to try in a muffin—especially since…

Creamy Lemon-Basil Pasta
I grew some basil in a pot this summer so I could make pesto, and it’s still doing well even though the weather has cooled some. I love having pesto spread on a slice of good sourdough bread, but pesto mixed with pasta (instead of tomato sauce) also makes a good dish. I wanted to…

Italian-Style Veggie Pasta Salad
If you are a fan of cherry tomatoes, you’ll like this pasta salad, because it has alot of them! Some of my friends share cherry tomatoes from their gardens, so I had quite a few. I wanted to use some in a recipe and I thought a pasta salad sounded good.

Debt-Free Living
Debt-free living ties in with my goal for a simplified, less-cluttered, more stress-free life. Did you realize that being in debt and having lots of bills is a big cause of stress? I want to be wiser about spending and saving, so I’m taking Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University class, which teaches you how to…
