To call me a Happy Camper might sound like an oxymoron if you knew me growing up. I am proof that people do change. My type A – must have everything prefect self has mellowed a bit with age. Three years ago during the peak of the pandemic after homeschooling second grade while teaching graduate…

Look what I made!

I love it when my recipe looks like the picture! I swap ingredients a lot because of food allergies and the final product doesn’t alway match the picture!

It’s been raining for a few days. Cool fall day and prefect to make soup when outdoor activities are not possible. Sunday afternoons I love to rest, read, and cook. Soup is my favorite.
