Creamy Navy Bean Soup
Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs. Unfortunately, my big outdoor rosemary plant did not make it through the winter, so I have a new small one growing inside right now. I’ll put it outside soon, hoping it will grow into another big plant! I used some of the rosemary from this little plant in this Creamy Navy Bean…

Spa Spring Gift Basket
Happy first day of spring! I hope you had a beautiful day! I’m not a big fan of cold winter weather, but I love the warmer days of spring! I love seeing the flowers outside begin to bloom and the longer, sunnier days. I’m really glad spring has arrived!

Rest
I tried to get some hand lettering practice in this week! I know so many talented designers who do great hand lettering, and seeing what they do is so inspiring! I thought I’d start practicing by doing a word every week.

Coconut Date Granola
It was time for me to make some homemade granola–I make it every few months and this Coconut Date Granola is a sweeter granola than I usually make, because in addition to honey and maple syrup (I usually use one or the other, or some of both) this also is sweetened with light brown sugar. It…

Whole Wheat Banana Bread
Usually when I bake things I use unbleached all-purpose flour. But I had purchased some organic whole wheat flour and was wanting to try making something with it. I like baking quick breads and I hadn’t made any banana bread lately, so I decided to try making a loaf of Whole Wheat Banana Bread.

Cheesy Mixed Vegetable Casserole
I actually first made this casserole during the holiday season—I went to a special Christmas lunch where one of the items they served was a vegetable casserole side dish. It was really, really good. One of my co-workers decided to try making one herself and she talked about how good it was!

Chocolate Chip Scones
The first time I had these scones, they were made by Priscilla. She brought them to work as a snack for a co-worker’s birthday, and they were really good. She had made them with dried fruit and everyone wanted the recipe. The second time I had these scones, Brenda had made them and brought them into work. She…

Cranberry Sauce Muffins
If you happen to have any extra cranberry sauce during the holidays, here’s a good recipe you can use it in! These Cranberry Sauce Muffins are sweetened with brown sugar and whole berry cranberry sauce—you can use your own homemade cranberry sauce, like this Fresh Cranberry Sauce)—or you can use whole berry cranberry sauce from a can. These muffins have some oats…

Cream Cheese Mints
I love the taste of peppermint and mint–flavored sweets. If you like minty sweets too, you need to try these easy homemade Cream Cheese Mints—but watch out, because they’re kind of addicting! They have a rich, creamy, minty flavor and I like them more than I thought I would—which makes them dangerous for me to have around! So I’ve…
