It's 5:45 am and I'm revitalizing myself with a SECOND round of coffee. Please tell me that I'm not the only one who comatose-ly wakes up in the middle of the night to drink water only to have their brain check in mid-gulp to remind them of all the things that they have to do… Continue reading Sweet Potato Brownies with Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting

Cinnamon Pecan Almond Granola
Summer officially starts on June 20, but it's been insanely hot here in Phoenix for almost two months now.

With all of the devastation and sadness going on in this world perspective is put into place: The magnitude of day-to-day hiccups diminish and become silly compared to the misery that hundreds of thousands of people are experiencing.

Gluten-Free Zucchini Lemon Muffins Topped w/Oatmeal Coconut Crumble
If I didn't have an online shopping problem before I definitely have one now. I bought nine cook books on Amazon in the span of ONE day! I clearly have no self control.
