Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
I’ve been watching a lot (like, a LOT) of Hallmark (and other) Christmas movies over this holiday season. I love them for the messages of simple joy and hope that they put forth. But there’s one thing that has rolling around in my brain over the past few weeks. It’s that whole notion of Christmas […]
Last year, I served up a wildly successful Eggnog Bundt Cake recipe. This year to go along with that, I made these Mini Gingerbread Bundt Cakes. I’d say they were as big a hit as the eggnog cake. My grand-niece had two of them for dessert and then 3 more the next day after school. […]
I am Nutcracker crazy. Attending a performance every year during the holidays is a must. It all goes back to my dad taking me to my first ballet and then, that Christmas, purchasing a wooden Nutcracker soldier for me. I was so smitten with the whole thing! I find every bit of it enchanting and […]
Pumpkin spice is delicious – but only a few times and then I’m over it for another year. Peppermint? Not really my thing. But eggnog? OH MAN! I adore eggnog. Add in some cranberries and you have put me over the top into holiday treat heaven. That’s why when I made this Eggnog Bundt Cake […]
By next Christmas, I plan to have a new porch. It will be one that is big enough for some rocking chairs and a place to put down a glass of sweet tea. I’m going to sit there and read and sip my tea and watch the world go by. In the meantime, my “porch” […]
I absolutely adore looking at tablescapes. I don’t know what it is but there’s just something incredibly beautiful in the perfect, creative table setting. The thing is, that I don’t have much experience in putting them together myself and so, creating this Christmas Table Setting for Santa Claus was a challenge for me. Welcome to […]
Hummus is one of my favourite snacks. Give me some pieces of Naan bread or some raw veggies (carrots are my favourites with hummus) and I’m dipping away. Bonus – not only is it delicious but it was recommended as a healthy snack option by my dietitian. Chickpeas are a good source of protein and […]
Summertime is one of my favourite times of the year. (Okay, I’ll be honest. I’m not a fan of winter but the other three seasons are pretty wonderful.) I love the blue skies, the sunshine, the slower pace of life. What I don’t love are sunburns. (Who does?) I’m much better about protecting myself from […]
This post on 30 Fun Things to Do at the Beach is part of the Summer Fun Fridays series on Creative Cynchronicity. The beach is a classic location to visit over those hot summer months. As soon as the nice weather hits, many people pack up their beach bags and head off for the ultimate […]
Much of my family originated in Germany, settling in the highly German-populated area of Cincinnati, Ohio, and so many of our family favourite recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation are based on German recipes. This German potato salad is one that I’ve been eating for as long as I can remember. […]
