Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl

 Cha-Cha-Cha-Chia...

I've recently been craving cereal for breakfast, as it used to be what I lived off of.  However, I know that those delicious sugary bowls aren't exactly my waist line's friend.  This chia seed breakfast bowl is an excellent healthy alternative that's just as easy as pouring a bowl of cereal.

Asheville, North Carolina

Last weekend was my birthday & per usual I was insistent it would not be spent at work or moping around the house.  It's a given that tears will be shed on my birthday (despite it being on my 30 by 30 list to get over that crap).  I knew that this would be my last birthday of my 20s & there would be many a blue moment (yeah, yeah- woe is me...)  I figured if I'm going to cry, I might as well do it in a cool & interesting town.  Enter Asheville...

Homemade Peanut Butter

I've had some intense cabin fever the past few weeks with all the rain & cold weather.  While I've spent a lot of time reading (& by reading I mean watching countless hours of Netflix...) & cleaning, I recently decided to also spend some time playing Susie Homemaker.  I browsed several of my cookbooks to make a meal plan for the week.  While digging through my Vitamix starter book I found a recipe for homemade peanut butter.

Random Facts About Me

We've been casually seeing each other for some time & I think it's high time we had "the talk".  What are we?  Where is this going?  Don't heave a sigh of exasperation.  You had to have known this was coming... I'd like to think it's a little something more than the place you stop by for a quick recipe or craft project for your ever growing Pinterest board.  I've decided it's time we get to know each other a little better.  And by "we" I mean me...

New Year, New Finances

I know what you're thinking- another New Year's Resolution post?!?! Well, cool your jets man, because I'm not here to give you a two page introspective "this is what I learned about myself in 2014 & here's how I'm going to improve" narrative.  Trust me- I feel your pain.  I don't do resolutions.  I do, however, like money.  Who doesn't right?  And who doesn't want more of it?
