bars + cake= nom!

On December 6, 2011 By

In the magical inbetween world, less sweet and buttery than a bar but not as fluffy as a cake, lies a dense but moist creation, speckled with deliciousness. I’ve been making all sorts of creations that are some weird cake/bar hybrid… handheld, delicious and full of goodness!

You see, I love stuff in my baked […]

On November 21, 2011 By

the smell of soup season

On September 14, 2011 By

Nature giveth and she taketh away.

Today’s the big day! Does this mean that I’m truly a grown up now?

I took the day off of work and have an awesome “me” day planned- 30 sun salutations on my front deck, to celebrate each of my journeys around the sun, followed by breakfast, then a complimentary birthday acupuncture appointment and a […]
