I’ve always wanted to write a bucket list; for things I have never done or 40 things before 40. I know you have heard of them. But here’s the thing, when I start, writers block sets in. My fingers stop tapping on the keyboard. I can come up with; Effie Tower, French Laundry, and learn [...]
Because it is Wednesday and I’ve been Goop Cleansing for the last two weeks, I bring you massive amounts of carbs, cream and cheese in the form of a Gratin Potatoes with White Cheddar and Tarragon. The things I can not have right at this moment. Can you sense a slight craving? Off we go. [...]

A coffee cake with a crumb top that melts in your mouth is a sugar rush to crave. While a cinnamon swirl coffee cake dusted with powdered sugar cannot [...]
Gifts from friends, when you least expect them, always take my breath away. You were thinking about little old me? They make you feel loved. What an amazing warm and fuzzy. An amazon.com box filled with Krueig coffee cups arrived on the front door step last week. The reason? Well, there was a party last [...]
It was the day my site almost came to a blogging deadend. Yes, fresh off a completely relaxing Spring Break vacay. I was stuck. REALLY STUCK. A word that rhymes with stuck was living rent free upstairs most of the day. Until The Bloggers Help Desk came to the rescue. Let’s back up. {I’ll go [...]
