I got this paisley fabric for next to nothing at Joannes when it was on sale. I think its super pretty and should have gotten more. I'm making a full apron out of if as well that should be done tomorrow. It would be really cute for a mom and daughter cooking team or sisters.
So, I went a little crazy at the fabric store the other day and bought a whole bunch of fabrics I didn't need. This cherry print was one of them, but A) I'm a sucker for cherries, and B) isn't it kinda awesome? My goal is to lay out all of the fabrics I have...

It's that time again! Time to dust off those cookbooks, crack em open, and put on our aprons. Who am I kidding - there was no apron ;D Heck, I barely got it together in time for this months round of the Pass the Cook Book Club, which is why Juanita's Cucina picked the recipes...

Last week at Big Summer Pot Luck the topic of jealousy was brought up. How sometimes we cdan see another blog, a more successful person, a cuter house, or a perfect kitchen and that sometimes we can become jealous of these things. For me, I am jealous of those cute couples that work together in...
Being from a store where everyone knows your name (*see yesterdays post), it's easy to forget sometimes, that when you are out in public, we have clients everywhere. While walking through the market, I get random waves and hello's, sometimes even long conversations about so-ands-so's kids or pets. Ordering pizza, a customer of mine may...

Simple turkey and brie sandwiches. Because we have all had (and still have) those, "there's no time or desire to make a dinner" nights. "You don't look like a food blogger." I can't be the only one who's heard that oh, 10,000 times. I'm shocked by how many people say this to me on a...
