The stuff of life

I have embarked on my favorite hobby ever.  For Christmas, my parents gave me these 2 machines: The Nutrimill Wheat Grinder and the Bosch Kitchen Machine.  Um, wow.  I circled them for days.  It took me awhile to even figure out for sure what these machines were capable of. “Kitchen Machine”??  What is that supposed … Continue reading »

I heart dinner

I do.  I can’t lie.  I had forgotten how much I looked forward to creating something for us to eat every night in my own kitchen.  And now that my kitchen is new and big and roomy and baby proofed, I love cooking even more.   And tonight, I totally rocked dinner.  Super healthy, super yummy.  … Continue reading »
