It's December 1st and I am almost ready for Christmas! I've been gradually getting my decorations out the past week or so, and after a happy Thanksgiving spent with family, I got the job finished. I also managed to get the last of my Christmas shopping taken care of today (though nothing is wrapped yet) … Continue reading Odds & Ends 11/24-12/01

Review: Poldark Finale
And so, with one final nail-biting adventure, Poldark came to an end last Sunday night. The show has been a favorite among my family since it first started airing on PBS in 2015, and the finale did not disappoint. Actually, my one complaint regarding the finale is that it was not properly set up by the … Continue reading Review: Poldark Finale
Baked Salmon in Maple Marinade
I was inspired to concoct this recipe by a Martha Stewart pin for 3 ingredient marinades; the one in particular that caught my eye listed maple, dijon mustard, and thyme. It was described as a maple marinade and, as I do like sweeter flavors, I thought this sounded right up my alley. The fact that … Continue reading Baked Salmon in Maple Marinade
Odds & Ends 10/7-11/2

I completely understand why J.K. Rowling keeps coming out with Wizarding World content; I can't … Continue reading Odds & Ends 9/23-9/29
Tangy Onion Chicken
I got back into the kitchen this past week. I had a craving for a teriyaki chicken my mom makes using French's French Fried Onions, but my teriyaki sauce was running a little low, so I decided to mix things up a little. If you're bbq chicken fan, but looking for a little variation, this … Continue reading Tangy Onion Chicken

Odds & Ends 8/19-8/25
This week's been a quiet, but productive one. I got several days of re-writing in and it felt good. I love being able to take a deep dive into my stories and really soak in the world and the characters. It helps remind me why I loved the idea to begin with and encourages me … Continue reading Odds & Ends 8/19-8/25
