Making this year’s list of books that I read was much easier than last year, since I started using GoodReads to track my reading ((If you know me and we aren’t yet friends on GR, feel free to friend me!))

New Foods I Made in 2014

We’re Not In Kansas Anymore!

In fact, I haven’t been in Kansas in more 3 weeks ((I just realized that the last time I blogged was three whole weeks ago and I talking about going on my trip and so you all probably thought I died in a fiery plane crash! Well, I’m happy to report that I did not […] →Read more

Wrote this on a plane on Thursday night. Plane arrived at 1 am. Then I spent the next two days having fun with my family and completely forgot to post this. So now I’m posting it from the Toronto airport as I await my next flight. Better late than never, right? So here I find […] →Read more
