A Christmas Family Gathering – A Collaborative Effort

This post about a Christmas family gathering does not come from my experience, but it has, in part, become part of my story. This month, I stepped outside my comfort zone and volunteered to do something from which, in the past, I probably would have shied away. The daughter of an ex-coworker and long-time friend…

Southwest Roasted Pepitas

If you are looking to add some variety to your snack options, these southwest roasted pepitas may just be the very thing you were looking for. I don’t know about you, but my salt tooth is much more robust than my sweet tooth.  It just seems that most processed salty snacks available at the store…
