Utah has some weird weather. The day before yesterday was 80 degrees. Yesterday? It was snowing. What happened to April Showers? Since we were stuck in between spring, winter and summer we made ourselves some snow cones. First rule is use some fresh snow. No colored or grass stained snow. Not good. Second rule is [...]
This week will be full of fun. My husband and I are spending our 11th anniversary….(birds tweeting, and tweeting) We don’t know where!! We have decided to wait and see where the sale fares for the week may take us. A last minute spontaneous little adventure. We’ve talked about spending the weekend skiing somewhere, going [...]

This is a family favorite of ours. My children love the great taste of the cinnamon and sweetness of applesauce mingled with a touch of [...]
The winner of last night’s cooking class had to be the raspberry honey butter. It was the perfect pairing with the molasses quinoa waffles. We ran out of it so fast, I was trying to whip up more mid demonstration. I have to give the credit on this one to my brother in law, who [...]

This week started my Max Interval training workouts, and I’ve found my appetite has decreased dramatically even though I’m supposed to be increasing my amount of calories I consume in a day.
