Welcome to my Nest!
Happy New Year, everyone! And to celebrate, here’s a recipe for pie. What, you think I’d start the New Year out with celery sticks? Think again, my dearest friends, think again. That’s so not how I roll. If you have one resolution this year, make it this: Eat more pie. To add to that, bake [...]
I have never been a cobbler kinda gal. I like my fruits in crisps, the cakey topping that I usually associate with crumbles can’t hold a candle to the crunchy oatmeal topping that crisps are known for. The story that lead me to this recipe is a common one around this house. It started with [...]

We met Mike there at 5 on his way home from work and waited outside in the absolutely gorgeous … [Read more...]
I love my kids, my husband and chocolate.
The order depends on when you ask.
