The Absolute Easiest Mexican Recipe

I could eat Mexican food every day of the week, and twice on Sundays.  It’s not always the most healthy choice one can make, though.  That’s why I love this recipe I’m sharing today.  I mean, it’s healthy and so easy too! I make this recipe when I need to…

What time is it? ORC time!

I love this time of year!  Certainly not because the temperature here in AZ is starting to soar, (the beginning of +90F temps) but because every April and October marks the start of the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE™.  For those who don’t know, it’s a bi-annual design challenge for bloggers to make…

The Best Granola

My sister-in-law turned me on to this recipe for granola a few weeks ago, and after trying it at her house last week, I had to make it myself.  It’s really easy, just dumping in a bunch of ingredients and baking, so it’s something you can do with your small…
