Tasty Tuesday: Homemade Tortillas
I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m always always trying to find ways to do things MYSELF. Commercially-made tortillas are usually loaded with bad fats and sodium–things I try to avoid.

I can’t believe that Christmas week is already here. This morning I woke with just a tingle of panic. I have so much to do! The snow storm this past weekend kept me inside doing a lot of baking, so I’m feeling pretty current on that. My thoughts now are turning to Christmas Eve and Christmas
Snowed-in Saturday: a slight detour from our regularly scheduled busyness
If you live in the High Country, you KNOW what I’m talking about. For any readers who don’t live around here, we’ve been having a huge, wonderful “snow event.” All the plans for last-minute shopping and running around town have gone right out the window because the roads
Yummy Treat for Entertaining or Teacher Gifts
I find myself this Christmas season with very little time, or money to do anything! We actually just got our tree up yesterday! I cannot believe we are so late! But one thing I do not want to skimp on, is giving our children’s teachers a little treat for the holiday. I was watching a show
