Happy National Doughnut Day! In honor of this fun fabricated holiday, in place of today’s link love, we are doing a doughnut roundup! I have done the difficult research to find lots of delicious doughnut (or donut) recipes for your viewing, and maybe tasting, pleasure. If you’re not into making your own doughnuts, here is…
life lately
Welcome to June! Here is a look back on some of the happenings that went on in May. Peony season arrived in North Carolina and Instagram had a field day with it’s favorite flower. I did my best to pitch in with that one. Peonies are my favorite flower and I love love love when…
strawberry mint lime smoothies
This warm (hot) weather calls for strawberry mint lime smoothies, or margaritas. Let’s stay in Memorial Day mode a little longer :) We’re back in action for a short work week after a long weekend. What a lovely sentence that is. I hope your Memorial Day weekend was filled with cookouts, warm weather, relaxation and…

goals for may and summer
Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes it isn’t quite overwhelming, but still whelming. We have had a lot going on in our lives recently, at home and at work, and my routines have shifted or dissolved. I am a big list maker and sometimes just the act of making a list helps me feel more…
spring cookbooks
I am so excited about the new cookbooks that have come out in the past few months! Stick me in a bookstore and I will read a cookbook cover to cover, tapping your arm to look at the great recipes and photos every few pages. I have a growing collection of cookbooks, and am overly…
