February 26, 2010

So, last week when I was talking about my current love affair with scarves, somehow in the excitement of all the commenting, and what I can only imagine was some sort of scarf-induced high, I let myself get talked into making… a video. That’s right, a real, live video documenting a few of my favorite ...

Southern Sunny Weekend

February 22, 2010

Last weekend it snowed on Valentine’s Day. This weekend the weather was sunny and gorgeous. On Sunday the high was 68 degrees. I broke out my summer cargo pants and we took Miley and Howie to the nature trail for an afternoon hike. The nature trail is always fun- there’s a huge lake with ducks ...

Weekend Baking: Three To-Die-For Delights

February 12, 2010

Cinnamon Nutmeg Waffles

February 1, 2010

My current obsession: All things harvest-spiced. Like these Cinnamon Nutmeg Waffles, made with cinnamon, brown sugar, & freshly grated nutmeg.

I’ve made them as waffles (and pancakes, too) for the last three weekends in a row- ...
