February 15, 2012

For some reason, potpies scare me.  Immensely.  Irrational I know, but there is something about the creaminess of them that makes my skin crawl.  Ergo, I have never had a pot pie.  I have seen recipes for vegetarian pot pies, but still cannot get myself on board.  Irrational I know.  On pinterest the other day, [...]

February 7, 2012

In case yesterday’s Mug Coffee Cake wasn’t enough for you, I have another breakfast recipe to make for your Valentine (or for a great weekend breakfast).

Mug Coffee Cake

February 6, 2012

Valentines Day is about a week away and for the next few days I plan on providing you with some treats and even a dinner that would be perfect for your date (or your friends!).  Matt and I are not ones to celebrate Valentines Day – this year I even have class that night.  But [...]
