Girl Scout cookies are in season!
And while I am still sugar free, I bought myself a few boxes to save and savor for awhile.
Some things I love about Girl Scout cookies:
They’re seasonal, so it really is an EVENT when you get to buy them.

Sunday March 18 is the end of my 7th week of being sugar-free*
Here’s how it happened ….
Around summer 2008 I started being more conscious about the carbs that I eat …Stopped buying soda. Stopped eating pasta for a lot of meals. Lost about 40 pounds just eating less carbs/soda.
Around late summer/fall [...]
I have loved hot apple cider FOREVER.
When I was growing up, we used to get little apple cider powder packets in bulk from Costco.
And then when Andrew and I started dating, we would hang out drinking apple cider every night after work.
We even included apple cider as part [...]
When we were getting ready for our Alaska cruise, I kept telling Andrew how the food was the best part …. So many options, so many good recipes, food whenever you want …
Andrew thought I meant that the food was the best he would ever taste. Which is, um …. not the case.

*not necessarily THE top 5… but MY top 5*
In my next life, I would like to be a food blogger.
Actually, I would do it now if I had A) about 10 extra hours every week and B) a lovely kitchen full of natural light.
Since it’s not in the cards for me, [...]
Recipe is from Smitten Kitchen (reposted below with my own notes and adjustments)
Smitten Kitchen’s “Perfect Blueberry Muffins” are aptly named.
The biggest change I made was to double the recipe. She seems to think her half-recipe of 9-10 muffins is enough. ha! Clearly not.
I doubled the recipe and [...]
Berries were on sale last week and you had better believe I took advantage of it!
Big pallet of strawberries from Costco, blueberries from the grocery store …. I think I might go back soon and get raspberries too!
I’ve noticed that strawberries and blueberries not only taste amazing but they look so pretty, [...]
When we were in Italy last year, we spent a day in Tuscany at a working olive mill and winery.
It was all kinds of magic – exactly as you would expect.
We were able to see all the steps involved in how to make olive oil, and then spent some time tasting this [...]
About 18 months ago Andrew and I went to Italy ….. as you likely know from the pages of Italy blog posts I did …. I fell in love with the idea of of a glass bottle of water for serving …. love.
That year, Maggie got us a a cute water carafe of [...]
I don’t know if you’re aware, but Design*Sponge is crazy awesome. For many reasons.
And one of those reasons is the recipes they feature.
Like these Jalapeno Cheddar cookies.
Andrew made them last week – it was kinda fun for me to be able to take cooking photos and NOT BE COOKING at the [...]
No question – one of my FAVORITE favorite (favorite treats for the holiday season is Coffeemate’s Peppermint Mocha flavored creamer.
I’m *told* that it is available other times of the year, but I prefer to avert my eyes from that section of the grocery [...]
One of my FAVORITE snack/light-meals for the fall season is sliced apple+peanut butter.
Favorite. ….
There’s something about when the apples start to show up on sale at the grocery store that just makes me so happy. It’s so autumn-al. Especially as the weather cools and the dry winds start to blow a [...]
YES!
Spooky ghosty marshmallows!
Found at Target.
Perfect for hot chocolate, rice krispy treats or haunted-house-style gingerbread house.
Or to eat by the handful (*ahem*)
Schubert Eats is an irregular feature on Those Crazy Schuberts about recipes or ingredients or restaurants or pretty much anything that has anything to do with [...]
The last few days Andrew and I have eaten at least HALF of all the basil on our little plant because I created this recipe …
I’m calling it a panini. But really, it’s just glorified grilled cheese. But still so good.
Ingredients: 2 peices sourdough bread butter 2-3 slices cheese (we’ve used [...]
