Bountiful Baskets Co-op
My realtor had told me about a produce co-op she participated in by our house. I had been meaning to check it out but got busy with coaching soccer season #3. One of my player’s parents was telling me about their experience with it as well and so I decided to make sure I tried…

I find that after coming home from a long day at work thinking of what to make for dinner isn’t always the easiest thing. Every week I go grocery shopping, normally on Sundays, and once I unpack the groceries I write out the menu for the week. This weeks menu: Sunday – Spicy Grilled Chicken…

I remember when and why I got my first steamer. It’s a very nice one from Williams Sonoma that I purchased in Las Vegas one night when I wanted to make crab legs. I’m pretty sure I was pregnant at the time too, not that’s it relevant. Anyways, I went home and unpackaged the steamer…

I love it, I absolutely love it. My mom always bought me random kitchen items since I was a junior in high school. It started out with an espresso machine then it was a Belgium Waffle Maker and then it was the Braun Hand Blender. All of which I have and still use today ……
