The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie

I LOVE baking cookies. I did as a young girl, too. There was something natural about it for me. Like it was something I was meant to do.

Fish Tacos

The first time I heard about fish tacos was the summer of 2003 and since I wasn’t a big fan of fish (of any kind) I wasn’t chopping at the bit to give it a try. That was until the moment I stepped into a little place called Rubio’s! I was living in San DiegoContinue reading “Fish Tacos”

We had a birthday celebration this weekend. My youngest girl turned 11! I know that’s not necessarily a milestone birthday, but every birthday is big for this girl. She was born 10 weeks early in order to save my life and hers, entering this world at a whopping 2lb 11oz and spending her first sevenContinue reading “Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake”

Taco Tuesdays – Tostada Style

I read a quote the other day, in a book I’m finally diving into, that if you stop dreaming you stop living. Ponder that for a second. Are you still dreaming? I remember dreaming about owning a book store and decorating it throughout the changing seasons and serving baked goodies and coffee. (We can thinkContinue reading “Taco Tuesdays – Tostada Style”

Waffles for Dinner – YES, PLEASE

The temperature has finally began to change, here, and after returning to in-class learning (after our distance learning week), I knew that homemade waffles was exactly what my family needed to soothe their spirits.
