I’m feeling a little cheesy this morning 😯 . Okay, so maybe not exactly cheesy, but who doesn’t love cheese? And apples? Especially in Fall, when apples are at their peak in the North and cheese slides in as a savory partner. I never quite got the whole “slice of cheese on the side of… Read More

For the last 26 years, my husband has been telling me the story about Grandpa’s Black Berry Pie.

I’ve got the weight gain cycle down to a science. Right around September when the first frost hits I begin to crave my sister’s banana bread and the comfort it gives on a chilly evening. Then I get into the baking mood and one banana bread turns into one batch every week. Then a few… Read More

When folks comment on my decorating style, I hear the word “cozy” often. I really love that because sometimes when you decorate too much it can become “stuffy”, or “cluttered”. Our home is cozy all year, but as soon as September rolls around, the cozy is amplified. By November, you can pretty much find me… Read More

My “Snowy Fall Spiced Wreath” wasn’t always so “spicy”. In fact, it’s parts were scattered all over the house, in different rooms, in different boxes.
