National S'mores Day is right around the corner - August 10. I'm not one to pass up any opportunity to celebrate food, especially food with chocolate, so you know tracking down good S'mores recipes is something that's been on the calendar for a while. I know there are a lot of S'mores purists out there who want to simply smash chocolate and charred marshmallow between some graham crackers, but here's the thing...I DON'T like to smell like a campfire, not even for a chance to eat chocolate. I am angling for a fancy gas fire pit to take care of this little issue, but in the meantime I am ... read more

How to Source Pinterest Pins with a Dead Link
I am experiencing a bit of a lifestyle overhaul...I wish I could say the changes were part of a self-imposed refocus, but that would be a lie. It's a bit more forced than that. Currently, I am on a doctor-ordered elimination diet to help determine which foods I may have an intolerance to. What does that mean? I don't get to enjoy dairy products, gluten, refined sugar or sugar supplements and no corn. It's so close to the Whole30 program that I just decided to roll with it and try that out too. Since I know you will ask...Yes. I really like Whole30. It's given me a whole new perspective on ... read more

Well, it's a whole lotta not paying attention apparently. You all have such lovely photos every single week. Please tell me that you occasionally have a craft (or in this case baking) fail of your own. I need to commiserate with ... read more

Martha Stewart Inspired Tomato Mozzarella Salad
Hey you guuuys! I am so excited to be sharing today's post. It's a little bit about Martha Stewart, donuts, a cook book my friends at Macy's and a really super-delicious tomato mozzarella salad - a salad inspired by Martha herself. If we're friends on social media (and I am sure we are, right?) you probably saw the slightly stalker-like posts I shared last week about my visit with Martha... Okay. So I wasn't really that intense (I hope), but I was very excited that Macy's sent out a copy of her latest book - Martha's American Food - and invited me to pop in for a visit to get it ... read more
